bitch barbie
n.— «One 14-year-old described how, when walking in school alone, he would worry that he had a lopsided walk and try to rectify it. Others felt that they were being monitored by the ultra-cool pupils the academics refer to as “bitch Barbies and bully boys.” These pupils would create gender-based notions of desirability, to which they would hold others accountable.» —“Beware the bitch Barbies” by Adi Bloom Times Educational Supplement (London, England) Apr. 13, 2007.
