Excerpt: "Even the name Ole Miss has it roots in that era of bondage. "Ole Miss" comes from the shortened version of "Ole Missy", the name slaves would have called the wife of the planation owner. The daughter of the plantaion owner was the "young miss", the wife the "ole miss.""

My step-mom has a daughter named Stacey and a daughter-in-law named Stacey. One is slender and younger (daughter), the other is big-boned and older (son's wife). She calls thin Stacey "Little Stacey" and she calls the big-boned one "Big Stacey"
