AAVE slang with roots in Southern hip-hop that originally meant a short person or a young woman, but evolved into an affectionate term for a girlfriend, a cute girl, or just someone you're feeling. In its pronoun use, 'shawty' can stand in for 'she' or 'her' in a lyrical or casual context. The term exploded through 2000s trap and R&B, appearing in countless hits — most famously Plies, T-Pain, and Lil Wayne tracks. It's one of the most recognizable pieces of hip-hop vocabulary to cross into mainstream pop culture.

(informal, sometimes, derogatory) Something or someone that is shorter than normal.
Shorty means: Something or someone that is shorter than normal.. It is generally derogatory or offensive; worth a quiet word about how it lands on the person being described. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.
shorty means: Something or someone that is shorter than normal.. Register: very informal, often derogatory or vulgar. Avoid in formal, business, academic, or polite writing. Even in casual speech the word can offend and is best left out of a learner's active vocabulary. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself.

“The argument I’m making is that Tarantino elevated Leonard’s (already good) work, which is why Jackie Brown comes up in a lot more film discussions than Get Shorty or Out of Sight. Like it or not, Jackie Brown is good because of Tarantino, not despite him.”
