Why does my husband like calling me a girl? What do you mean?

In Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas, underworld figures often call their girlfriends "girls", such as "Touch my girl and die!" "She is boss Sun's girlfriend." It seems too elegant to understand a girl as a girlfriend. "Girl" often refers to a woman who is physically attached to her boyfriend and has no dignity and personality. Most of them are actually lovers of men, and her boyfriend is with her not so much because of love as because of sex and face. Coincidentally, in the northeast, there is also a saying of "girl" in the saying, which means "prostitute or adulteress" (Gu Jingheng's "Body Words and People's Secrets"). It is said that its etymology is "for anyone to ride". Riding is not only a vulgar metaphor for sexual intercourse, but also refers to the conquest, playing and bullying of women by men. Since Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas became popular in Chinese mainland, the word "Ma Zi" has been widely circulated.

So the word "pick up girls" should be formed by replacing the word "girl" in the word "pick up girls" after the word "girl" became popular.

The original meaning of "Ma Zi" is "urinal", which was originally called "tiger" among the people. After the founding of the People's Republic of China in the Tang Dynasty, because Li Yuan's father's name was Li Hu, he avoided calling him "tiger" and changed it to "Ma Zi", which was later extended to a temporary vent for men. In modern times, Hong Kong underworld films were popularized and derogatory meanings were weakened.
