Hoyden Sighting

From Laura Lippman's Edgar nominated short story, "Hardly Knew Her", from the poker anthology Dead Man's Hand:

"Sofia was a lean hipless girl, the type that older men still called a tomboy in 1975, although her only hoydenish quality was a love of football."

Stellar vocabulary and a good story too-this reader could not ask for more.
