Yeah, "dame" is from the 1930's. They would say, "What a dame!" Or "Typical broad, fiddling around with things she doesn't quite understand."

I watch a lot of gangster films set in the 1920's-1940's, they would always say things like that. Also stuff like, "Dollface" or "Sweet cheeks."

Nobody talks like that anymore. "I'm gonna fill you mugs full of hot lead."
