1. gyaru; (young) woman adhering to a fashion style usually characterized by dyed hair and gaudy clothingFrom English “gal”
2. gal; girl; young womanColloquial
3. Gyaruis a Japanese transliteration of the English word gal, that of girl being gaaru . The name originated from a 1970s brand of jeans called "gals", with the advertising slogan: "I can't live without men", and was applied to fashion- and peer-conscious girls in their teens and early twenties. Its usage peaked in the 1980s and has gradually declined. The term gradually drifted to apply to a younger group, whose seeming lack of interest in work or marriage gained the word a "childish" image.
