AEE 2306: Should You Use "Attagirl" in English?
it could be sarcastic or genuine.
sarcastic 讽刺的 挖苦的
genuine 真正的 真心的 真诚的
attagirl 真好,真棒,对女孩的鼓励,同意
basically means good girl, you're doing a good job, attaboy as well in different kind of circles.
it's encouraging, keep going, if someone accomplish something like they got a grade成绩 on the test, they got a part on the play, they won an athletic competition, or got a promotion.
eg, Your got the part, attagirl, i knew you can do it.
It's more about a TV phrases ; when someone is getting the hang of something掌握...敲门,开始学... ( getting used to something, getting to learn something ) it's more about a parent to a child . 通常是父母对小孩的鼓励
eg, attagirl you finally cook a fish.
use it genuine either with a child or in a sarcastic funny teasing way with an adult.( don't use it seriously with an adult)

attaboy, good boy, between adults it's a toxic culture at times around guys saying ... different steps in life.

i can't go any faster.
lift you knees Michael lift your knees
attagirl you got this. (很不常用)
I'm so tired.
amazing job, Michael, you did it.
oh thanks.

Attagirl(sarcastic or genuine)
Sarcastic: basically saying u did a good job, used attaboy as well, encouraging, keep going.
Used for a promotion, a good grade on test, winning an athletic competition.
Tips: It's more of a TV phrase.
It's more likely to use it in a humorous, teasing way with adult than in a genuine way with kids.
Bonus: get the hang of…(getting used to sth, starting to learn sth)
Role play
A: I can't go any faster.
B: lift your knees, Machelle, lift your knees.
A: Ah
B: Attagirl, u got this.(Lyndsay 通常不会选择这种鼓励人的方式)
A: I'm so tired.
B: Amazing job, u did it!
A: Oh, thx!
