big girls

Not little anymore

Big girls refers to adult women, often used self-referentially to claim maturity or capability: Big girls don't cry, I'm a big girl, I can handle it.

The phrase can also describe plus-sized women, sometimes affectionately, sometimes euphemistically.

Applied to children, it simply means older or more grown-up: You're such a big girl now.
