Encolpius  +  879871 Sun, 30 Aug 09 02:28 PM Hello, I'd like to know if you heard or still hear (e.g. in movies) the word woman instead of the word wife. Since I found that sentence in a modern dictionary it still can be used, but in a rude, pejorative sense, or men of lower class still can use it. thanks.
