"(fandom) One's favorite femalecharacterin a piece of media, especially inanimeorvideo games."Had a very brief look on Tumblr (big fandom place these days) and found mostly references to a specific scene inTitanicwhere Jack/DiCaprio calls someone his "best girl" in the other (girlfriend) sense.Equinox◑06:25, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
- google: "asuka is best girl".Comparewaifu.A related phrase is "<name> a shit" ( "your waifu a shit" ) but it's probably not as common. —suzukaze(t・c)15:32, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
- Oh, maybe this comes from theMy Little PonyInternet meme of "Fluttershy is best pony". In that case it's just an SoP, with a whimsical omission of thedefinite article.Equinox◑15:33, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
- Yeah, this is almost certainly SoP. Seebestgirl.It just means "a favorite female character", "favorite" = "best", "female character" = "girl".Philmonte101(talk)06:46, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
- I feel like the unusual grammar would drive readers to search for "[[best girl]] "though. Personally leaning towards keep if verifiable. —suzukaze(t・c)06:55, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
- I can affirm that this is a commonly used phrase within the online anime fandom community (often used cynically or sarcastically, might I add), however I'm not sure whether it counts as its own thing, or whether we should just treat it as two words used together for a specific context. --Lý bác kiệt|—Talkcontribs08:42, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
- As someone withweeaboofriends, this is a staple of their slang. Spend some time on boards like 4chan's /a/ and you will see it all the time, always without definite article. I think it should probably be kept. —Kleio(t·c)21:35, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
