      Lady does sound like an older woman. Gal, woman or chick would probably work, but that’s all besides the point, it’s very common to use <whatever> girl as a search term: biker girl, skater girl, ring girl, bikini girl, racer girl, etc. It’s just dumb to automatically assume any search with “girl” means “child”.

          Maybe because I’m older idk, but boy and girl make me think of children.

          I’m so old that I don’t sprinkle my comments with kid-pidgin like ‘idk’, and I don’t equate ‘girl’ with ‘young girl’. Bat Girl, Girl Friday, Ring Girl, “I married a girl right out of college”; it’s about context.

          Idk, I’m 31 and my girlfriend is 27. I don’t call her my woman friend or lady friend, and calling her my girlfriend doesn’t really make her sound underage to me
