Original sentence: Slang, denoting a young (Spanish Chica = girl)  and/or attractive woman (may be considered derogatory)
Edited sentence: Slang, denoting a young (Spanish Chica = girl)  and/or attractive woman:.Understood as "term of endearment", but degrading a woman to fowl whose main characteristic is only to be nice in whichever respect; for decades, also in song lyrics, it stands for a (tom)cat's prey, as "cat" is the only male (in)equivalent term to be found - due to frequent use and a decline of female/feminist self-esteem criteria not pre-defined by men, its degrading meaning is seemingly perceived as less dramatical, though the term stays clearly connected to gender role clichés (i.the Dixie Chicks use it in a less typical, offensive seeming way, yet basing their self-esteem on the stereotype of "women's weapons")
