Romanian translation:gagica
Explanation:
This is an African American expression. It seems most suitable to express the same in Romanian with a term used by Romanian minorities. Hope I could help.

Explanation:
Am pus si varianta de masculin, pentru ca -din cate stiu eu - shawty se poate folosi si in cazul barbatilor.
term orginating in Atlanta that, in the beginning, referred to a short person or child, but the span of the word has grown to include any and all people, especially a girl that is attractive; it is mostly used as a term of endearment to others or just a way of addressing someone, like 'Wassup Man,' Instead of "Man", shawty is used.
NOTE: Can be shortened to "shawt" or "shawtdawg".
"Waddup Shawty, when you coming over?"
