100% agree but it is already a common use, not only on FanBox. Still we can all try as an example setting community to start with the right use of the words.Thanks for posting and paying attention.

Wonderful and nice point out and using world "Girl" & "Girls" that is more then one. The question of
women, that is fact & have holding factors their age(can't count Girl), Same like boy & men. Anyway nice post for
understanding of the words ad their meaning. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your article.We still have specialists here who understand and condone this misuse of nomenclature.I completely agree with you in the ordinary view but this misuse of lexicon cum semantics does not and did not originate from Fanbox.Most of the ''feminine sexy'' posts ,galleries or ads out there are done or written for the purpose of arousing attraction,amorousness and catchy intents and purposes,so the creators apply the law of attention arousing by using the word ''girls'' in lieu of ''women' as the word ''girls'' is more hot cake than ''women''.The message is usually regarded as ''hottest girls" so the word ''girls'' so misused as you pointed out should be seen as ''slang,jargon,argot'' or informal style of use for the purpose of achieving effect.
On the other hand,the word ''girl'' has a very broader meaning:it means female child/baby/kid,young unmarried woman,a single woman or spinster of any age,a married woman of any age(here it is derogatory or abusive)Again,'' girl '' means female servant or employee.It also means a daughter.Most importantly,which is our focus or bone of contention in this discourse is this meaning of the word ''girl'' which most of us do not know and which goes across board : ''girl'' means "SWEETHEART" or ''lover''.
Thanks Arthur for your scholarly contribution in here.

the words "girl" and "boy" are synonymous (in the US anyway) with female and male.........we know the difference between a BOY and a MAN .....but they are both still > MALE.......so in that context it would almost be slang....."hot girl" = meaning = attractive woman/ female.........not attractive underage girl/ female

Thanks Joe,That they do. Then maybe we should call it colloquial. Just as we now think that Gay is bHomo sexual. instead of happy. Where does it end?
