I love language but have yu noticed how words go in and out of fashion.Good morning. How fab is language?! Crumper is a new one on me but I love it. My baby girl, now 25, fitted the description perfectly at 11lbs 6oz! Bonny lass is a term of endearment in these parts. As Val said it very much depends on context. Incidentally up here any female partner is often referred to as 'our lass' which I also love.
I don't know if it still happens but in Liverpool there was always a subtle difference between ' me fella' and "my fella' The former was boyfriend, the latter was husband. As I said before, language is beautiful.
When I moved up to Liverpool in the early 80's I heards ace / sound / munchies (and women referred to as) queen everywhere I went . Now I hardly ever hear them at all - mainly because I'm going deaf but that's another topic.
