Tai tai (太太) is a Chinese colloquial term for an elected leader-wife; or a wealthy married woman who does not work.[2] It is the same as the Cantonese title for a married woman.[3] It has the same euphemistic value as "lady" in English: sometimes flattery, sometimes subtle insult.[citation needed] One author describes it as equivalent to the English term "ladies who lunch".[4]
