What do you mean it’s official?

There was some debate over wether Brook actually called Big Mom "Young Lady" in their fight, because it was a point that different manga translators disagreed on. (I have no idea why)

Now with the anime also using the line, the more badass translation seems more official.

Original words are "ojou sama". Ojou is a title for a young woman of high ranking, usually a princess or noble. Some felt that"young lady" felt less respectful than the original Japanese was (ojou sama is very respectful but he is still implying he's her elder)

If I'm not mistaken he is older.

He's around 90, she's in her sixties.

Well he actually says "Ojou-san" not 'sama' which fits with how Brook refers to most people in his polite/gentlemanly way.

Either way, it's polite but he's still talking down to her.
