definitions
noun
- a pretty, young, and very youthful-looking girl, especially one that acts naive, spoilt, and fragile to attract attention
- term of address or endearment for a girl who is much younger than the speaker
The XMM, it seems, is at least partially defined by a state of mind ... Like our beloved ‘ah lian’, female counterpart to the ‘ah beng’, people don’t seem to like the XMM very much. XMMs are described as naive, cringy, and immature.
