    ...when referring to their own, or someone's good lady. I'm surprised at how often I hear it and who uses it. Maybe it's a Cork thing?

    Any strong feelings on the phrase?

    Never heard it before, sounds more like what you would call a prostitute who's better years were behind her.

    I've heard middle aged men referring to their middle aged wives as their ol' doll. Makes my skin crawl.
