How do I formally refer to a girl I do not respect(because she's a menace) who is late 40's early 50's? So the different terms have implications I don't care for it want to convey.

Someone in their late 40s is not a girl.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Right, so I'm not calling her that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

It definitely looks like you are.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I would get creative with it, just because she's horrible doesn't mean you don't get to have a good time. "The purveyor of lies", "fount of unreason", maybe give her a nickname that relates to one of her mistakes. If you can come up with something new every time it can become like a game, even if you're only saying them in your head.

From the point of view of that girl you're a red flag anyway. But "a menace" works too.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Red flag? I'm not trying to date my dangerous old hag of a downstairs neighbor. I'm actually filling a restraining order against her.

Yeah I mean, if people were filing restraining orders against me, I'd certainly take that as a red flag to avoid them 😅
