In poker, the term "ladies" refers to when someone is dealt two Queens.

For instance, let's say that you are playing in a $5/$10 NLHE cash game in a local casino.

You are dealt pocket Queens on the button. A player in early position raises and action folds around to you. You push the rest of your short stack into the middle and your opponent instantly calls.

You flip up your hand and say "I've got a couple of Ladies". Your opponent flips over A-K and you end up flopping another Queen to win the pot.
