Dear members of ads-l,

This is a second try,

Yesterday I received a request from a freelance writer for Parents.com
 about the word babygirl (sic; one word, not two).  Urbandictionary.com
defines it this way:  a term used towards grown fictional men
who have the fandom in a loving chokehold.

I mentioned I would share her request with ads-l.  Among her questions
are What is a baby girl? What is its origin? Who is a baby girl? What should
parents know about this slang word?  Anything else?

She would of course be very grateful for any insight we might be able
to provide on the term.
Btw, her deadline is tomorrow (Friday).

Gerald Cohen
