There once was a time when you had to be careful about how you referred to women.  Calling them the wrong thing could get you banned from their presence for life.  Thankfully, the laws have been relaxed a little, so that many previously derogatory names can now be used freely, as long as at least a slight amount of sarcasm is implied.  My favorites: 
  1. Babes
  2. Chicks
  3. Broads*
*Ding ding!  This one's my favorite. #language
