A female confederate; a female companion; a woman of loose morals. Broad is derived from the far-fetched metaphor of "meal ticket," signifying a female provider for a pimp, from the fanciful correspondence of a meal ticket to a railroad or other ticket...

An offensive word for a woman. But it's better than cunt or bitch or hoe or whatever other word bitter bastards call the women they can't get with.
Yo man, your mother is a broad. No wait she's a filthy cunt who 3 guys ass raped last night. Kind of like what your dad did to you when you were 7.

A woman who is very difficult to respect. Usually wears very tacky clothing (fake fur, sequence dresses...etc) and reaks of cheap perfume. Widely known for being easy in the sack. Usually only ends up dating a sausage.

Broad is primarily used by Italian Americans in Philly, South Jersey, North Jersey, and New York City--NOT Baltimore per previous definition. It simply is a derogatory meaning for female i.e bitch, woman, lady, trick, chick, hoe.

"Yo check that broad over there- Damn that bitch is fine!"
"Yo check that broad over there- Damn that bitch is fine!"
