Answer 3

In the United States, Valley girl is a term coined for young, rich, and spoiled female residents of the San Fernando Valley, and originated in the 1970s.

The term originally referred specifically to affluent young women living in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles, California.

The term morphed in the 1980s and 1990s to represent a more widespread and cartoonish stereotype of young women—typically characterized by a "ditzy" or "airheaded" personality, and unapologetically "spoiled" behavior that showed more interest in shopping, personal appearance, and popular social status, rather than in any intellectual pursuit.

The "Val" is typically blonde-haired (not necessarily a natural blonde), bright eyed Caucasian woman, although many other women of different nationalities are devoted to the trend. The typical style of dress was often garishly loud and colorful—a combination of pastel and neon colors, ruffles and lace. Tutus, leggings and bodysuits were more rare, but represented the extremes of the trend. The 21st century version typically carries such technologies as cell phones, iPods, etc. The Valley Girl has evolved as sociodemographics keep changing and the term is no longer just associated or restricted to blondes. A typical Valley Girl is usually considered to be attractive and sexually promiscuous.

Sociolect
Main article: Valspeak
A certain sociolect associated with valley girls, referred to as “Valspeak”, became common during the 1980s. From 1980-1984, “Valspeak” grew in use by both boys and girls.

Qualifiers such as “like”, “way”, “totally” and “duh” were interjected in the middle of phrases and sentences as emphasizers. Narrative sentences were often spoken as though they were questions (high rising terminal).

Examples:

As if – lit. ‘as if’ except it does not use a subject; expresses disgust
Whatever!- short for ‘whatever you say’; sarcastic comeback
Barf me out! - ‘So disgusting it makes me want to vomit’
Fer shur – lit. ‘For sure’
Totally – ‘I agree’ or ‘completely’
Gag me with a spoon! - ‘you are so disgusting that you make me want to vomit’
Tubular –Something so amazing, it should be on television (tube = tv); or, excellent, perfect, as in a (surfable) wave which forms a tube
Grody to the max! – ‘As gross as he/she/it can be’
Like, oh my God – can be used many ways; expresses shock
I’m suuure! or I'm so sure – ‘I'm absolutely positive’, but usually used sarcastically
Tripendicular! - It can either mean 'awesome' or a drug high.
Totally Radical, Dude! – ‘That is incredible, man’
You are totally sluggin'! – ‘You are really cool’
Betty - An attractive woman.
