- The hits at google books:"act like a young lady" seem to suffice, though IMO this is SOP.—msh210℠ (talk) 18:51, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
- I would think this would be includable as a form of address. As such it might merit fairly long usage notes. It also seems to have had a dated sense. Macmillan and Encarta include both of those senses. RHU is like our entry + dated sense. Citation doesn't seem likely to be difficult, even in the dated sense.

- So, pass as in reasonably widespread use? - -sche (discuss) 18:34, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
