The thing I really don't get
is why women are so often referred to by rappers as 'shorty', or 'shawty' as you're apparently supposed to spell it.

I didn't notice it until 50 Cent came up with "go shawty, it's your birthday, gonna party like it's your birthday" but it seems to be everywhere since then. Selective awareness on my part, or something?

was a youtube clip of Hugh Laurie on the Ellen DeGeneres show being bewildered by it

Ah yes
My main memory of that clip was thinking "fucking hell, I forgot he's one of us"... been watching House way too much.

Shorty is used for birds, and also for younguns.
