girl math

‘a humorous term referring to a way of justifying expenses using “twisted” female logic, which is meant to make a purchase seem cheaper or even free in certain situations, e.g., a sale or paying with cash instead of a card’

The expression was borrowed from English. The phenomenon originates from TikTok trends and involves subjectively recalibrating the value of money when purchasing goods. It is humorous in nature and functions as a meme that highlights the mechanisms of rationalizing purchasing decisions, rather than actual mathematical rules.
