Wait, "office lady" ain't used internationally? Could've sworn I've heard it in the wild here in the US.

I've never heard anyone in the US saying "office lady" and to be honest if I did hear that I would think it's being used in a derogatory fashion.

I actually just looked up what "office lady" means and yeah... I can't think of a lot of offices in the US that would have such a concept, especially not where it has to be a female employee doing those tasks. It'd be more common to say "personal assistant" or "office assistant".

OL has different (and slightly derogatory) connotations in Japan.

American here...that’s definitely offensive and would not be used in a professional setting.

I never said it wasn't offensive. Just that I've indeed heard folks use that term (in a very-not-professional-setting, mind you).
