Yeah, I would advise using against using it today. Like, I said, old timey. Not as acceptable as it might have been in decades past.

I'm middle millennial and consider it flippant at best. Like "chick flicks" and "chick lit" are seen as less serious/valuable/artistic than media intended for men. "Hot chick" as a way to value/devalue a woman on looks alone.
