Abstract
The article is devoted to studying one of the most important lexical strata in the contemporary German youth slang. The analysis of the semantic transformations and derivational processes accompanying the formation of the slang nominations of females is carried out. The author observes the special role of metaphorization and compounding, as well as the activity of suffixal word-formation in creating jargons. Attention is drawn to the conditionality of the choice of the motivational features that form the basis of nominations, as well as the high expressiveness and evaluative nature of the designations of females with the dominance of pejorative character by the gender stereotypes of the creators and the main bearers of a slang.
