I recently heard a gentleman refer to young ladies as "Birds".
His companion referred to them as "Squeakers".

and there was 'sharesies' if sweets were in the playground, and 'stampsies' if you lost at conkers, which was a double whammy which could induce tears amongst the more sensitive young lads.

'Knockers' when referring to a lady's bosoms.

as a technicality the term is still in use when referring to factions which may be overly critical, e.g., "she does have her knockers".
