Chapess is a cheerful British informal word for a woman — a feminine form of chap, the classic English term for a fellow or bloke. The word has a warmly inclusive quality, extending the blokey camaraderie of chap to women without fuss. It appears in conversations between friends, in media coverage of female adventurers and outdoors types, and anywhere the speaker wants to acknowledge a woman as a full participant in the world of decent, salt-of-the-earth human beings.
