A young woman's group of friends. They (the woman included) are to be thought of as
one body. No
one in the group does anything without everyone else's knowledge and/or approval. They use each other's eyes, ears, and minds collectively to figure out information and make decisions.
The term is most commonly used in a High
School setting, but can also apply elsewhere.
“I once went out with a young
man from Queens who only dated older women because younger ladies, he found, couldn’t do a thing without checking in with 15 of their friends. When you date a younger woman, he said, you also date all her friends, and it’s “a pain in the fucking ass.” You can’t just go out and do your own thing because she must receive approval from a larger governing body. A slightly more mature
lady has friends—but she sure as
shit doesn’t need their permission to
live her life.”
