Fast-tailed is an AAVE term typically used to describe a young woman — often a girl or teenager — who is perceived as sexually forward, flirtatious, or promiscuous beyond what her age or situation warrants. It carries a strongly disapproving moral connotation and is frequently deployed by older women in Black communities as a warning or rebuke. The term has been critiqued for placing disproportionate blame on young women for male attention and for policing female sexuality.
