I have a question about the word "granny." Is it true that this word is offensive for American women? One American woman told me that this word made her recall a character from the TV show "Beverly Hillbillies" named "Granny." She said, "In general, that word would apply to someone who looks and acts like her character. I hope that's not me! Perhaps that word is used in Great Britain but in the U.S, we might think it an insult." Is it really so? If so, how can I call an American woman aged 50+ without insulting her?
