I am sorry if my choice of words has caused some misunderstanding, but English is my third language, so I am not able to put too many subtle nuances in my messages or to follow the latest language fashion trends.
Still, there is a definition in Merriam-Webster’s: “girl (1c): young woman” - I wonder - is it outdated?
Upd. Also this: “a person seen as lesser than the speaker” was impossible in the culture I’ve grown up in. So if there is a subtle nuance in my choice of the word “girl” it is “I felt pleasure each time I heard her voice”, not “she was lesser than me”.
Cultural differences…
