A word used mostly by and between girls. Often used as a compliment of some sort about physical appearance or objects -
hair, makeup, clothes,
shoes - although it cannot be determined whether it is authentic or insulting, unless you are a girl.
Girls rarely/never use the word cute when
talking about guys. There are many other words for that.
<screams>Oh My God!!! Your

Overheard: "I was deciding which outfit to wear when going out: my cute pair of high heels... with this cute
skirt and cute
top..."
