The problem is, Sue, that the term "geezer" seems to be a term denoting males; it just doesn't work for ladies.
We need something a little different - "geezarina?" geezella?, geezeba?


Hmmmm... I asked Mr. Google what a female geezer was, and was handed the term "Old broad". I suppose it's okay, but I always thought Old Broads smoked incessantly and drank straight whiskey, which I don't.

There must be a better word, so I'll call my English Journalism major friend.

She said there wasn't a really suitable word, and that many people use it as a unisex word. She didn't like "old broad" either, and for the same reasons.

So she just said to replace the masculine 'geezer' with the feminine 'Maxine', and that should do it.
