Ladette is a young woman whose social behaviour is similar to that of male adolescents or young men. Ladette behaves in a confident and noisy way, who drinks alcohol and may enjoy sport or other activities that are traditionally enjoyed by men.

“假小子”指的是社会行为类似于青少年男性或者年轻男性的年轻女性。“假小子”表现很自信，但也很吵闹，爱喝酒，可能喜欢体育或其他男性通常喜欢的运动。

Analysts believe the ladette phenomenon has been driven by increasing levels of financial independence among young women.

分析人士认为，“假小子”现象是因为年轻女性经济越来越独立。
