"Nowhere girls" or "Mei Nu" (Chinese: 沒女) is a neologism coined to describe women who have no money, no job, no education, no prospects, no looks, no friends and no sophistication.[1] The pronunciation of "nowhere girls" is similar to "beautiful girls" in Putonghua.[2]
The term is used to characterise those women who refuse to conform to male expectations and are therefore thought to be unattractive by men, and has strong pejorative connotations. A calque of a South Korean term, it spread to Hong Kong via China, and became popularised through its use in a reality show called Nowhere Girls, which was broadcast by Television Broadcasts Limited. This show has aroused much public discussion on this topic.[3]
