<< review queue entry 37375 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> Another kind of taimei! ;-) Seems to be a word mainly used in Taiwan? I find it in Tw dicts (M and FE), but not in N, F et al. But Hudong says 太妹-这个词语最初应该是来自于北京，是对 街上浪荡的未成年少女的统称。 Forumosa ~ "My wife was a taimei in her junior high days. She describes it as a student with a bad attitude, and usually, but not necessarily bad grades (she says hers were always in the top five of the class). Sometimes they're bullies who rob lunch money from other girls, but my wife swears the worst she did was smoke cigarettes behind the school property, and disrespect her teachers. Oh, also there would sometimes be chick fights to determine who had alpha-female status. She figures most taimeis are either from rich families or poor families, because it takes money or poverty to buck the system. " [On the forum, someone asked what a "taimei" is, not realizing there's both 太妹 and 台妹.] dict.cn ~ "playgirl" ?! M ~ 不良少女。如：「那些在外遊蕩的太妹，多半都缺少家庭的 溫暖。」 FE ~ "a girl delinquent; a wild teenage girl; a tomboy; a bobbysoxer" |
