big girl
No longer little
Big girl is a term for a female child who has grown or matured, often used encouragingly: You're a big girl now—you can tie your own shoes.
Adults use it self-referentially to signal capability or emotional resilience: I'm a big girl, I can handle it.
The phrase also refers euphemistically to a plus-sized woman, sometimes affectionately, sometimes patronizingly.
