One last comment on the girl/woman thing. There's a badly drawn boy song called Have You Fed the Fish? which begins:

"The keys to your heart opened the door to the world.
You've got to give me two days, and woman I'll make you a girl."

And it struck me way back when I first listened to it that the equivalent line gender reversed would be a lot more likely to be "boy I'll make you a man" than "man I'll make you a boy."
