Oh my lady!

Derived from Red Dwarf, it is used when Rimmer attempts to simulate Jacobean courting. It means a man who uses a cheesy move to try and pull a woman. It's very similar to "Oh Matron!" from the Carry On films.

Katie just said that I had a lovely smile. She's hotter than the sun! I'll try yawning and putting my arm around her slender shoulders. Oh my lady!
