I work for a small business run by two women, both in ther sixties. They have a client who just turned 93 years old, and when he calls, he asks if "the girls are in today," and it always makes me smile. In this specific context, and man in his 90s speaking to someone much younger, it seems appropriate and endearing. Besides, what 65 year old woman wouldn't mind being called "girl?"
