Well these are a little disrespectful (well 'old fart' isn't exactly flattering either )

- Old bat
- Old bag
- Old cow

Maybe 'old fart' can be a term of endearment though, whereas these three terms for women I think tend not to be (even offensive perhaps).

Often an old fart is a BORING old fart. I'm not sure whether bats, cows and bags fall into this category. I cannot think of a better female alternative.

Well true... but then old men are often boring and old women are often gossipy and meddling...

That's why I said I didn' t quite think it was the same because these ones for women sound more 'insulting' to me anyway. But I'm not sure of the exact meaning of the word 'vejestorio' either maybe someone can tell us a little more about it so we can see if these translations would work.
