babygirl

Newborn daughter term

Babygirl is a term of endearment, originally directed at young female children but now commonly used between romantic partners regardless of the recipient's age or sometimes gender.

In contemporary slang, especially online, babygirl has expanded to describe someone—often a male celebrity or fictional character—who appears emotionally vulnerable, sensitive, or deserving of protection and affection: He's not a villain, he's my babygirl.

This newer usage carries an ironic or affectionate tone and signals the speaker's devotion to the person described.
