After the novel, English started using “a Lolita” for a girl who is still a child in the law’s eyes, but whom some adults describe as looking or acting “sexy.” That is the dictionary sense — and it is a harmful one. The word often puts the spotlight on the girl, as if she were the problem. A child cannot consent; the wrong is always the adult’s. Using Lolita about a real young person is insulting, and it can make a crime sound like a story.
