a general culture question

Americans who don't live in the SF Bay Area:

Do you know what a "valley girl" is? Or, do you know what "valley girl talk" sounds like?


I'm curious, because I was chatting with my mom, and she thinks valley girl is a slang term that's fairly specific to the Santa Clara Valley and the South Bay. I was surprised... I hadn't thought that it might just be a local phrase, and not a more spread out one, because I'd heard it a lot growing up. I could certainly identify a valley girl stereotype in a movie or on tv. Which of course makes me California-centric, I admit, but hey I do live here.

Valley Girl was the name of a movie? I was thinking "Clueless" was the best example.

Yeah Vally Girl was made in 83 I think, yeah because my dad would make fun of me because that was the year I was born and he told me i should have been a Vally Girl. ::glares at dad:: Do I look blond? Uh no these are brown roots!... AHHH I HAVE ROOTS!!!!

.....

Ignore all of that, I really am smarter than the average vally girl.

But yeah then they did Clueless and that was basically the same movie but for the 90's.

And don't get me started on Gwen, first she steals Gavin from me, then she takes our word... damn blonds!!! ::shakes fist:: But hey I'm not bitter. ^_^

Gavin, baby, come back to me!

Oh, I'm bitter. She steals him the year I turn legal. How rotten is that? I was gonna marry him.
