Shawty, shorty, shauty or shortie is a slang term from African American Vernacular English used as a term of endearment but also frequently heard as a catcall. After the 1990s,[1] the term has largely referred to a young and attractive woman. Some people consider this term condescending and pejorative.[2][3] It was particularly popular in hip hop from the 2000s.[1] Shawty is a Southern[4] or rather African American variant of shorty,[citation needed] and can also refer to someone of a short height compared to a taller person, a newcomer, a child, or a good friend.[4]
