Talk:Girl

Page move
Due to an edit (not by me) the COTW tag seen via Talk:Girl was absent for some time. Have reinstated the tag there. --Janke | Talk 20:20:14, 2005-08-31 (UTC)

Rename Girl > Girl (victim). Semi-protected edit request on 15 Aug 2022
Reason: This article is mainly about girls as victims, not as "normal" humans. This should be reflected in the article name. Here I propose "Girl (victim)", but I am open to other solutions, such as "Girl (survivor)". 109.155.0.175 (talk) 17:07, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Girl as applied to women
It is also used in the context of a group of women relaxing, for example "going out with the girls," "girls night out," "chilling with my girls." I suspect a little more analysis would reveal its used in many more ways, some identically to the way "boy" is used, some different. I'm sure this must be documented.

 * It's already in the article, quite prominently in the second sentence at the very top of the article:
 * "While the term girl has other meanings, including young woman,[1] daughter[2] or girlfriend[1] regardless of age, the first meaning is the most common one."


 * There are also multiple archived talk threads on the topic. Nakonana (talk) 16:21, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
