Definition
黄毛丫头 is a derogatory term for a young girl or woman, implying she is inexperienced, naive, or immature — literally 'yellow-haired girl' (referring to the lighter hair of children). It's used dismissively, often by older or more experienced people to belittle a younger woman's opinions or abilities. Avoid using it yourself unless you understand the strong negative tone.
