When (why?) did adult women calling themselves “girlies”

[Anonymous]

It does not offend me but when I encounter a woman who talks like this, I do assume she is insecure and doesn't take herself seriously as an adult.

Mormon insta influencers started this.

I do this with one friend from college . She started it. We’re in our late 30s. Would never use it with a stranger or anyone else really.

Beautiful college-aged influencers coined the term to describe themselves. It was a synonym for baddy.

It cascaded down from there.

Cringe. It reminds me of people saying " normies" + " littles". Just " use your words".

Seriously? That's intense. I'm 56 and I could care less. I wouldn't judge it's just not my thing.

They're the same women who use babytalk regularly. Vacay, mani/pedi, hubby, etc.
