Sometimes there is no option but to call them 'girls', especially if you want to avoid getting hit in the face.
What is the collective noun for a group of women over 25?

Cos there's no female version for "lads", males over 25 call themselves lads not boys or men but females don't have that! Maybe we should make up a word for it (",) x

People think Im as young as 16 sometimes - I'm 25 - I guess i call myself it cos i look & feel like one. Calling yoursef a "woman" is a bit to grown up like lol

It's just an expression, like my girlfriend is 34 and I'm her boyfriend even though I'm 53. There just aren't any other words to convey the same meaning.

I think men normally do, or older ppl.. I am 46 and some fella refered to me as a nice girl the other day, made me chuckle..
for me, am proud to be a woman... and have no intention of hanging on as I am getting older..(reWood77 comment above)

Because every woman is a girl till she becomes a mother, and her role then changes and she has to be a grown up

Same reason guys calls themselves "lads" as in, "going out with the lads!"
