Aad wife is a Geordie dialect term from the northeast of England meaning an old woman, drawn from the regional pronunciation of 'old' as 'aad.' In its neutral sense it simply describes an elderly woman, but in its pejorative sense it echoes the broader English expression 'old wives' tale,' implying someone who gossips, fusses, or holds outdated views. Typically used within Geordie-speaking communities; outsiders may find the pronunciation unexpected.
(Geordie) alright.
