Your version of “Yiddishe tznius” is revisionist history. At least in the Litvishe world, this is not the mesorah.
Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, for instance, called his wife “Baila Hinda” in public. He is by no means an isolated example, but illustrative of the norm.
The idea that women and womanhood cannot be acknowledged out loud is harmful in many ways, not the least of which is that it distorts the true Torah concepts of tznius and shalom bayis.
