There aren't any names that give me "mean girl" energy, because the term too vague and completely sexist, and I don't use it.
It's in the same vein as "basic". "She's so basic", "She gives mean girl energy"...just a bunch of crap to help keep women and girls in their place and make them feel bad for living their lives. I've heard both terms used for literally NO reason, and it's ridiculous. Men and boys are never described this way, are they?
Yes, I know I'm not answering your question, yes, I know I will get replies telling me I'm taking it too seriously, but whatever, I'm not going to read them. I just had to say this, because I'm sick to death of hearing this term, and I want it to die a firey death. Thanks.
Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
