A ladette, in British papers in the 1990s and 2000s, was a young woman who joined in the lad world: drinking a lot, talking about sex and sport, going out hard. The ending -ette makes a female counterpart. Papers used it with a raised — sometimes as if it were modern and fun, sometimes as if it were a problem. Many women did not like being called it. The word has aged; younger British people may not say it now. It is not tomboy (a girl who likes “boys’ things” as a child), and it is not simply “strong woman.”

ladettenoun/læˈdɛt/
- 1
informalA young woman who behaves in a laddish manner, namely being boisterous and loud and drinking to excess.
- It could be argued that the rise of the socially conscious model reflects a very 2017 archetype: the “woke” young woman, who looks set to define femininity this decade in the same way that the lager-swilling ladette did in the 90s. It is also symptomatic of a broader cultural “awokening” that has reached the stuffiest institutions; even the royal family has recently relaxed its upper lip.
- So the rise in drinking seems to centre on gen X women, or, to give us our proper title, ladettes.
