Lady - online puzzles

The word lady is a term of respect for a woman, the equivalent of gentleman. Once used to describe only women of a high social class or status, now it may refer to any adult woman. Informal use of this word is sometimes euphemistic ("lady of the night " for a prostitute) or, in American slang, condescending (equivalent to "mister").

"Lady" is also a formal title in the United Kingdom. "Lady" is used before the family name of a woman with a title of nobility or honorary title suo jure (in her own right ), or the wife of a lord, a baronet, and a knight, and also before the first name of the daughter of a duke, marquess, or earl.
