Actually, in Texas (and maybe some other parts of the South) the term "ma'am" is a term of respect that's used regardless how old the lady is. Pretty much anyone out of college is a ma'am to me.

I don't know what else to say than ma'am. Unless I know the woman as friends or a relative.

How do you pronounce it? Why is there an apostrophe?

It's pronounced as it's spelled. The apostrophe is because it's a contraction of the word 'madam.' Yes, we still refer to women as madams in the South.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say it. It's always just been"mam". It's seems like so much effort to pronounce the "a" twice.

No....meemaw reminds me of a heavy old (well much older than me anyway) woman wearing a housecoat

Not to mention the fact that I am not even a grandparent, lol. The bear is to blame for the name
