Girlie vs. Girly: What’s the Difference?
Girlie
A girl is a female human from birth through childhood and adolescence to attainment of adulthood when she becomes a woman. The term girl may also be used to mean a young woman, and is often used as a synonym for daughter. The treatment and status of girls in any society is usually closely related to the status of women in that culture.
