The word "tweeny" is a British synonym for a maid or housekeeper, often used in the Edwardian and Victorian era. However, there are other synonyms that can be used interchangeably such as domestic, housemaid, cleaning lady, maid, and charwoman. These words are used to describe the same profession, a person who is employed to maintain a household's cleanliness and orderliness. Sometimes, the words "servant" and "butler" are used as interchangeable synonyms, although they technically refer to different roles in the household. No matter the word used, the important thing is to treat domestic workers with respect and value their contributions to our homes and lives.
