I'm so old that I don't sprinkle my comments with kid-pidgin like 'idk', and I don't equate 'girl' with 'young girl'. Bat Girl, Girl Friday, Ring Girl, "I married a girl right out of college"; it's about context.

Idk, I'm 31 and my girlfriend is 27. I don't call her my woman friend or lady friend, and calling her my girlfriend doesn't really make her sound underage to me
