It can refer to any prepubescent female. Also, it is often used to describe any adult female who is still young enough to be sexually attractive. In the second context, the word "girl" is used to avoid the negative connotations often associated with the word "woman"... Feminists insist on restricting the word "girl" to the first meaning. I recommend that we humor them when posting to this network, to avoid unnecessary flames. ---------- The word "imbecile" has at least two meanings. It can refer to any prepubescent net.singles poster. Also, it is often used to describe a member of the human race who is still young enough to be ignorant. In the second context, the word "imbecile" is used to avoid the negative connotations often associated with the word "idiot"... I insist on restricting the word "imbecile" to the first meaning. I recommend that you humor me when posting to this network, to avoid unnecessary flames. Beth Mazur {ihnp4,ima,harpo}!inmet!mazur
