silly girl I heard few times some guys calling some girls silly. I don't understand exactly the meaning and when it should be used. I know that means "stupid" in some way, but to me sounds like nice way to say to somebody that is stupid.

silly girl

I heard a few times some guys calling girls silly. I don't understand exactly its meaning and when it should be used. I know that means "stupid" in some way, but to me it sounds like a nice way to call somebody stupid.

Very well written! Yes, you are quite right, it means much like you say. Generally, it means illogical, frivolous, irrational, ... but not in a bad sense. It is rarely an insult, unlike "stupid".

Thanks Tricia, that was my doubt, and you clarified that for me, when is offensive and when just playful

Generally, someone saying "silly girl" is calling them stupid, and its very belittling, so I would argue that it is offensive. Calling someone silly isn't always offensive though; if your friend tells you a joke and you say, "you're so silly!" it wouldn't be rude like saying "silly girl."
