There is a difference between the collective and the individual though. "Going out with the lads" is one thing but if you were referred to as "the lad over there" in work when you were a mature adult would you be okay with it?My wife is in her 60's and has her girls night out every so often and she refers to her female friends (all over 60 too) as girls. I do too. "Hello Girls" opens doors.
