If you believe Wikipedia, it's a term that slaves used to address the lady of the plantation house
bull shite. slaves didn't call the lady of the house ole miss. that's a crock. have you ever heard of a state called MISSISSIPPI. maybe, just maybe the university of MISSISSIPPI has a nickname of ole MISS.
I swear, people are looking for stretches to be PC these days. frick 'em and the horse they rode in on. oops I can't say "horse" any longer. it's rumored that "horse" was the word used to describe a work horse on the plantation, blah, blah, blah

Old Lou GrandDad, the idea of Ole miss being used to refer to the lady of the plantation isn't some new PC idea. When I first read about it, the article mentioned that it was the term of endearment for the highest ranking SLAVE woman in the plantation (the head "house" slave). I likely misread the article, because there are sources that refer to Ole miss as the wife of the plantation owner.

Obviously, it's important to get the history down.
