Ermintrude wins because all the other names I think of as "old lady" (Doris, Mavis etc) have been making a comeback.

I have an old lady name you heartless young cunts, but I nominate Lettuce.

heartless young cunts

LOL!!!

😂

Aw, Lettuce always makes me think of the young tortured teen in AC’s Murder at the Vicarage. Also there is Egg, an independent young lady in Three Act Tragedy. I love these sorts of nicknames.

Lettice isn't a nickname - it's a proper name.

One of the women at Elizabeth the I's court was Lettice Knollys- she was quite a stirrer, IIRC..
