Actually, I would much prefer the term dame to come back over the term balling.
When I think of dames, I think of fast talking, fast thinking, but ultimately submissive women of the movies of the thirties and forties,...
Those long dead, old school dames are the best.
We can't have a thread on dames without Lauren Bacall:

Lauren Bacall debuted opposite Humphrey Bogart in the 1944 film To Have and Have Not. In 1945 Bogart divorced his alcoholic wife to marry Bacall, who he had been fucking on the regular ever since they met on set in 1943. He was 45, she was 20. He always called her "Baby" and they remained married until Bogart's death in 1957.
It was a time when men were men and women were women.
