What does it mean?
I've read a lot of books in English, and seen a phrase like "IT girl". Could you explane to me what does it mean (and how to pronounce it? like "it (ee-t) or (i-tee (like IT department (with computers)).
Thank you in advance for your kind help.

I agree with David -- anything that is called the "it _____" (or "IT ___") means that the thing/person is trendy and popular.
Similarly, there is a phrase we use: "Get with it!", which is meant to indicate that the person is not aware of what everyone else is doing -- that they should notice the appropriate behavior and act that way. That is what the "it" means -- what is popular, what everyone does or what everyone should do. So an "IT girl" is someone who is the object of fascination, envy, and popularity. Every girl would want to imitate her.
I hope that makes sense!

Hi. If I saw that phrase, I would take it to mean the girl is fashionable or stylish. It's pronounced the same as sit, hit, lit. I hope that helps!
