小姐姐,网络流行词,作为一个从二次元火起来的词汇,“小姐姐”这个词的早期含义是粉丝对萌系女生的称呼,它有着严格的定义。
对于宅男来说,不是随随便便什么御姐软妹小萝莉都能叫作“小姐姐”的。一定要是温柔可爱,美丽大方的女生,才会称作“小姐姐”。 [1]

外文名 Little Lady
--------------------------------------------

Editor:
1) "little lady" has several established senses, but none of them are similar to 小姐姐 in usage.

2) 小姐姐 has been the subject of a great deal of discussion. It's notable for its combination of contradictory elements
- a diminutive (小) that conveys familiarity, and
- a term that conveys respect (姐姐).
There's probably no exact English equivalent.
Its rise in popularity (since 2017) is seen as being due to a need to fill a gap in the lexicon caused by limitation of the use of 小姐, which often signifies "prostitute".
