Who is this little girl? Meaning of the word

Who is this little girl? What girls are called babies and what does it mean?

Origin of the word

As it is easy to understand, the word "patsanka" came from a "boyfriend" related to him. In turn, the word "boy" was transformed from the Jewish word "pottsen". Pottsenami called unpleasant, slippery young people under the age of 25 years. Soon this word migrated to the criminal world, where it lost its negative meaning. The boys just started calling young people up to 25 years old. Nobody thought about who the kid was. As it always happens, the criminal word migrated to semi-criminal street youth, gaining even some "respectful" value. A bad, unreliable boy will not be called a kid.

The meaning of the word "little girl" is slightly different from the above, since in the women's circles the hierarchy is not very pronounced.

Who is this little girl?

• A girl who unlike her peers does not like to spend time for traditionally girly games, but prefers a company of boys in the yard. In this sense, the word has no criminal connotation: a little girl can even be called a little girl by her relatives. A girl older than 16-17 years old little girl can not be called a tongue, so most often the term is used for girls of 8-13 years old.
• "The little girl" in the meaning of "girl boy". A girl who is in a relationship with a "boy". Often the concept is used to "tie" a girl to herself and bears a kind of pejorative attitude towards her passion, but sometimes the girls are proud of this and call themselves girls, showing how young they are.
• A girl who adheres to a man's style in clothes, wears a short haircut, etc. If the girl is an adult, she has the right to choose her style, and the term "little girl" is inappropriate for her. The girls call the girls who spend time in the men's company and have male hobbies. It is necessary to distinguish this and the first meaning, in spite of the fact that they are very similar: in the first case, a girl can be called a girl even by relatives, and this does not bear any pejorative context, in the third case in a decent society a girl is not called a girl.

Attitude to the girls

Who is a patsanka: an ordinary girl or a "guy" in a female form? Obviously, girls who have male interests are ordinary girls, and equating them to "peasants", as some do, is extremely incorrect. In the 21st century, a girl does not need to be feminine in appearance to remain a real lady: there are girls wearing ultra-short haircuts and simple men's clothing, but surpassing the level of education, erudition and femininity of their girlfriends in dresses.
