find any locals who wanted to greet the Second Lady
Did they lead with that? As in, asking as if she was greenlanders "second lady" and not only americans (the term didn't exist before this distraction, afaik)?
-
What? The term "second lady" most certainly existed long before this.

The term "second lady" most certainly existed long before this.
But only in the US as far as I know.
Most other countries don't have a title or official position for the spouses of the elected heads of state.

Many do, though the title is perhaps not used as often in most as it is in USA

And in those few other examples, it's not a position that has any particular importance to the state.
Where the US first lady has often acted in a pseudu-ambasador role.
