MO resident weighing in---The lady got upset probably because the word "madam" (not capitalized) actually is a common(at least in the US) term for a woman who runs a brothel. (Rather than "proprietess" or what have you.) Yes, I watch a lot of cop shows and read a lot of mystery novels. :)
Oh I see. Thanks for the explanation! :) I guess that makes sense then. Although I still think she overreacted a little because that's not the only use of the word. XD
Chances are it probably is used like that over here too but I've just never come across it. I never really watch cop shows or read mystery novels or anything like that.
