I agree though that I never heard a professor refer to his students in this way and would definitively find it strange if that happened.
- manmal 9y ago"Baby" does not count because it's not German, and it can be traced back directly to imported pop culture (Movies). You are right about "Mädels", it's not exactly the same as "girl" though (rather girly) - you would never say "Mädchenabend", that's cringy.
