Yeah! New Word!

Back when I was in high school, the "cool" guys had a term for certain girls.
That word was schmimis

It was pronounced like this: "shh-mim-ees."

As stated, the word didn't pertain to every girl: just the silly, petty, giggly, supposed brain-dead ones.

But you had to be careful! Say one thing construed as one of the adjectives above, and you were auto-labeled a schmimi.

In those days, nearly every single one of us gals succumbed to the label at one time or another.

I hated it then. "Schmimi" was said with such disdain and condescension.

Now? I like it, I like it a lot. I'm pulling the word out of its dusty corner, pale with disuse, and sprinkling it liberally in everyday conversation.
I have lots of opportunities to use it.
