"Cute"

[Azzy]

I think I use gorgeous, cute, and ew. Cute isnt as great as gorgeous but its WAY better than ew.

to some of us guys, cute = goddess
(which is way above "dawgface" !!!!)

Most of the time, myself and people I knew used it euphemistically for very attractive as opposed to good-looking enough to notice they exist. If someone said I was cute - which I didn't hear very often - I liked it. On a scale of 1 to 10, maybe a 7-8, leaving 9-10 for "gorgeous" or "hot" or "total babe".
