The structure is a variant spelling of "shorty," altering the "or" sound to "aw" to reflect pronunciation, forming a casual noun for a person. It is used in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and hip hop culture to refer to a girl or woman, often in an affectionate, admiring, or flirtatious way, though it can also be used for a young person regardless of gender. People typically say "That shawty is fine" or "Shawty got moves on the dance floor."
