OK kid. My BIL uses the word all the time. Another derrogatory word for woman.
It is incomprehensible why you would come here to start a thread about said derrogatory word. But thanks for sharing.

Wow, easy. You are needlessly offended. These words do come from our fathers and I was pointing to a time gone by. Us oldens remember things about what are parents said and find laughter in it, easy up.

OK - I'm probably older than you so I am an "olden" and I do remember words that were said in days gone by - and words that continue to be said. However, I don't find laughter in broad, jigaboo and jungle bunnies. I guess you must think I'm in the minority on that. I'll let others weigh in if they agree/disagree.
I'm not needlessly offended by someone deciding it's a good idea to offer slurs up for laughter. I guess that's something else your father must have taught you.
I'll bow out now so as not to offend you.
Carry on..

OK, he also used words like compassion, class, and charisma, other words you don't hear so much today.
"And she's broad where a broad should be BROOOOaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadd"

"Broad" was a word I heard on TV, in movies, and on the street constantly as a young kid, and (as pointed out in the example from South Pacific) in respected musicals. The offensive term was "tomato" - pronounced in the Chicago area as, "tuh-MAY-duh".

tuh-May-duh implies nice breastuses to me.

Yeah, I always thought the word 'Broad' was reserved for assertive self assured women. I still call the old ladies in my Mother's retirement complex "Tough Old Broads"
and they love it!

My Dad was born in 1918 and in Manhattan. The terms from the 1930's films live on in my heart, we used to watch the old flicks together. He was the type of guy who didn't have a hateful bone in his body.

I always pictured a Broad as more of a gun moll. A Dame, a high class Broad. Of course I am getting this from 1940's film noir films.

The War Department. If he didn't want to give you permission to do something he would say ask my mother by saying, ask the war department.
