A girl is any female human from birth through childhood and adolescence to attainment of adulthood. The term may also be used to mean a young woman.

Usage for adults

The word girl is sometimes used to refer to an adult female. This usage may be considered derogatory or disrespectful in professional or other formal contexts, just as the term boy can be considered disparaging when applied to an adult man. Hence, this usage is often deprecative. It can also be used depricatively when used to discriminate against children ("you're just a girl").

In casual context, the word has positive uses, as evidenced by its use in titles of popular music. It has been used playfully for people acting in an energetic fashion (Furtado's "Promiscuous Girl") or as a way of unifying women of all ages on the basis of their once having been girls (McBride's "This One's for the Girls"). In both cases, these positive uses are when the word is used for its capacity to collectively refer to the girl's gender rather than to their age.

What happens if a girl attends an all girls school but gets a sex change?
Q. There is a girl who goes to college with my little sister at Wellesley (an all girls college). Upon being accepted, she was a female. However, during her sophomore year she began taking male hormones and is planning on getting her sex changed and considers herself a male. Can the school kick her out?

How do i get my girl in Sims 3 to marry the non-controllable character Parker?
Q. Parker (a character i can't control) and the girl i control in the game aren't married yet, altho they do have a son together who is a child (the son lives with my girl, obviously). How is she suppose to propose to him, if she can at all, so they can get married? Their relationship meter thing is completely filled and it says they are a "romantic interest", but i still cant get them to marry. Thanks!

A. The first step is Propose...Go Steady. Then you can Propose...Marry and have a Private Wedding (instant) or a throw a Wedding Party (not very quick). Keep in mind, the one who proposes determines the family's last name. The romantic interactions must continue *uninterrupted* until he finds her "extremely irresistible." Then he's primed for proposal (and woo hoo as you already know). If you want to move him in, there's a cheat to do so. Enter in "testingcheatsenabled true" and shift-click on Parker. There should be an option Add to Active Family. Tah-dah, there he is. Now he's controllable and can do the proposing. If he lives in the neighborhood, of course you can move him in without a cheat, by simply going into Edit Town and either… [cont.]

Our town Girl Scouts are doing a community project and we need a catchy title?
Q. We are going to be collecting supplies for our local animal shelter. For the duration of one month we will be going, troop by troop, road by road, around house to house leaving a bag and a note asking for supplies. We will be collecting anything for animals, food, blankets, pillows, sheets, etc. We need a really catchy title for our project. I am usually really good at these things but I am completely stumped on this one!!! Help! Serious answers only please.This is for the Girl Scouts, so be respectful.
