English[edit]
Interjection[edit]
- An expression of delight and joy, or, sarcastically, dismay, resignation, frustration, or annoyance.
- Oh, girl! I can't wait to tell my friends about this!
- Oh, girl. This is going to be a lot of work.
- Oh, girl. Now what do I do?
Usage notes[edit]
This use of the expression is relatively rare compared with the sum-of-parts use, which is addressing someone the speaker is calling "girl". It is typically used by someone who is also making a point about gender, since the more common phrase is oh boy.
