The wife of the plantation slave owner was often referred to as Ole Miss

Well actually it was “Ol Missus” according to Mississippi State fans. Which is actually a term used in Australia.

In Australian English, the word "Missus" is used as a slang word in its own right, as opposed to it being just a pronunciation of "Mrs.".

For example:

Harry said he couldn't stop and chat because his missus wanted to go shopping.

fricking idiots.
