Ladies of the Night

Last week one of the doctors walked in with a new greeting. He said, "Good morning, ladies of the night". He saw the puzzled look on my face and said, "Is there a meaning to that saying that I am not aware of"? I said that the term "ladies of the night", refers to prostitutes who walk the street at night looking for clients. He was mortified and turned red. He had no idea that was what it meant. He saw a preview for a new television show with that name, that is about women crime fighters. He thought that he was complimenting us because we are tough women. I told him a few more old sayings and asked him what he thought they meant. He had no idea. Sayings that we used years ago are no longer relevant to today's society. It was funny to see how out of touch they are.
