G'day, mate! Lovely to see you again! <grin> How 'bout this one? It even sounds mocking:
huswife
(n.) A case for sewing materials. See Housewife.
(n.) A female housekeeper; a woman who manages domestic affairs; a thirfty woman.
(n.) A worthless woman; a hussy.
(v. t.) To manage with frugality; -- said of a woman.
(This definition is from the 1913 Webster's Dictionary and may be outdated.)
