Lass is what @bleujay has been called in the past and it would still apply today....yes Keptin...that would indeed be 'Lassie'.

Bleustocking is a term only applied to ladies...

Bluestocking (also spaced blue-stocking or blue stockings) is a term for an educated, intellectual woman, originally a member of the 18th-century Blue Stockings Society from England led by the hostess and critic Elizabeth Montagu (1718–1800), the "Queen of the Blues", including Elizabeth Vesey (1715–1791), Hester Chapone (1727–1801) and the classicist Elizabeth Carter (1717–1806).

Interesting ...is it not....

..just in case I become one of the crew...
