gurl
Internet slang spelling
Gurl is an informal, often playful respelling of girl, used especially in online and LGBTQ+ communities.
It can signal affection, solidarity, or camp sensibility, particularly among drag queens and gay men addressing friends: Gurl, you look amazing tonight.
The stretched spelling emphasizes the vowel sound as it might be pronounced with theatrical flair or a drawn-out drawl.
