	She was only the fishmongers daughter, she laid on the slab and said "fillet".

	Shero should be a word.

	It's interesting how even some of the ones we use a lot in modern times are starting to die off. When was the last time you heard a woman refer to herself as an "actress" rather than an actor? It's been a while for me. Imagine if you heard a female fire fighter or soldier refered to as a "heroine." It'd be weird.

	Definitely typed "damsel" when I got to "knight". I gotta slow down when Sporcling.

	I typed "Amazon" when I got to knight. Been playing too many video games. @Murf1013, I don't know where you're from but I generally hear 'actress' on a regular basis, a woman being an 'actor' would sound funny to me. As for 'heroine', you're right that would be weird, because it's only really used for female historical figures.

	The words 'incubus' and 'succubus' derive from 'cubare', to lie. According to the prefixes, an incubus lies ON while a succubus lies UNDER. Apparently both prefer the missionary position....

	Dame should also work for Sir, since it's the equivalent title for a British knighthood.

	You should add the British "Earl" and "Countess" pair, which should interest a few people. Also, the "Marquess" and "Marchioness" pair.

	I knew it wasn't right and I actually got Abbess correct, but I was so hoping for Costello as a bonus answer.

	Surprised 'aviatrix' actually turned out correct. I thought I had just invented a new Asterix character.

	@dlauthor: I agree but it was okay since I got credit for dame on something else. Otherwise, I would've been guessing knightrix, knightress, knightmiss, etc. :D

	I always liked Martin Mull's for ever person we will also need a perdaughter.

	@Tongueforker...you obviously didn't see this week's episode of Boardwalk Empire. (They happened to use the word aviatrix when talking about a female pilot attempting to cross the continental US).

	Mental note for next time...there is no "T" in Duchess.

	Fishmaiden, Fishmadam, Fishgirl, Fisherwoman, Fishmongress... sigh...

	Many of these are incredibly dated and are either no longer used or are on their way out (at least in the U.S.). I can't remember the last time I heard someone under the age of 60 refer to a female comedian as a "comedienne". And for that matter, you pretty much have to go back to the days of Amelia Earhart (i.e., the 1930s) to find "aviatrix" in common use. Now, I could make the same claim for "fishwife", but frankly "fishmonger" itself is a bit of a rarity. While the words "actress" and "waitress" are still fairly common, more and more I hear women in these professions referring to themselves as "actors" and "waiters".
