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.

i always thought "valley girl" meant san fernando valley. you know. van nuys. sherman oaks. places with lots & lots of money. remember, valley girl was set in LA. & nicholas coppola was so cute back then. & there was that super choice moon zappa tune too. "valley girl, she's a valley girl. like, oh my god. valley girl, she's a valley girl. totally."
