June 28, 2011 at 8:28 AMI thought you would introduce the concept of 乐天主义.
What's the difference between 乐天主义 and 乐观主义 ?
Do 乐天的人 use positive thinking only for the coming day and renew it everyday ?
Do 乐观的人 have general positive thinking ?
What about 快活的人 ? Living fast makes you happy or living fast is a sign of happiness ?

You're right, 丫头 sounds quite condescending but seems widely used. I heard it in a small restaurant of Guangzhou few years ago. The customer was speaking in mandarin to a young waitress with long hair.
Btw, the pronunciation of this word seems very similar in cantonese :

June 28, 2011 at 10:50 AMThank you Jenny,
I guess 快活 is the short version of 快乐活力 (or 快乐活) in which 快 doesn't mean fast.
