SPUNKY OLD BROADS DAY
Today's Featured Event is Spunky Old Broads Day
We have no idea where this holiday came from, perhaps the Red Hat Society? Perhaps simply a group of friends getting together for cocktails, but if you�re over 50 and female, this is your day!
Of course the term �old� is debatable. Fifty is only old if you�re under 40!
What does spunky mean? The word was first used in 1786 and according to Webster�s, it describes a person whom is courageous, with attitude, high-spirited and energetic. The word �Broad� was first used in 1659 though not to refer to a woman. This use appeared in English slang during the early 20th century and was often used as a derogatory term for common women of the lower classes. In the context used for Spunky Old Broads Day, it�s meant to be cheeky and defiant.
