#TotalBetty

Sansa in the earlier books is a #TotalBetty

She just wants to look pretty, marry a knight in shining armour or a prince, and have lots of children. Her entire self worth is based on her looks and betrothal to Joffrey.

Thankfully she does improve!

When I was in high school we used to call the tanned long haired boys that surfed, Barneys. In turn we called the sun kissed girls that dated the Barneys, Bettys. Bridget (Blake Lively) is a #totalbetty and exactly the kind of girl you would see on the arm of a surfer.

I don't even know what a #totalbetty means! But here I am just before one of my biggest accomplishments: climbing all the steps of the Abbey of Mont St Michel.

Dragon I bet that was a lot of steps! Congratulations! 7y

LibrarianRyan 👍🏻🤓. Total Betty refers to the Flintstones. Betty rubble was pretty and sweet and anything else you think she is. The phrase was popularized by the movie Clueless and modern valley girl phonetics. 7y
LibrarianRyan BYw. Congrats on the steps. Beautiful pic. 7y
LeahBergen Mont St Michel is one of the most amazingly beautiful places I've ever been. ❤️ 7y
Betty @LibrarianRyan speaking of the Flintstones, my dad's name was Fred; my mom Wilmoth (not Wilma). I didn't marry a Barney though. 7y
drokka Congratulations! This is on my travel bucket list. 7y

Even wearing old curtains, Scarlett is still a #TotalBetty. (Full disclosure: I had to look up what a "Betty" was because I am not hip to all the cool slang.) #Characters2017

Kalalalatja I thought it was someone like Betty Rubble from The Flintstones - side character, pretty face and not an instigator of things 😄 7y
JacintaMCarter @Kalalalatja I went with the top Urban Dictionary definition: "The term Betty refers to a hot chick. One that is attractive, stylish and self confident. A Betty is typically a looker." 7y
Kalalalatja Well, I completely got that wrong with mine then 😄😄 7y
LibrarianRyan ??? @Kalalalatja @JacintaMCarter I must be the only one from the "clueless" generation. The movie helped popular the slang. It is pretty, as for the rest it is how you view Betty from the Flintstones. Do some it's a side character, for sum it's pretty and simple, etc. one person called it surf language which I guess it kind of is because I consider the term modern Valley Girl. Need a cute laugh check out Clueless. ? 7y

“Being the only female in what was basically a boys‘ club must have been difficult for her. Miraculously, she didn‘t compensate by becoming hard or quarrelsome. She was still a girl, a slight lovely girl who lay in bed and ate chocolates, a girl whose hair smelled like hyacinth and whose scarves fluttered jauntily in the breeze." #totalbetty #characters2017

BookHermit "But strange and marvelous as she was, a wisp of silk in a forest of black wool, she was not the fragile creature one would have her seem.” 7y

#Characters2017 #totalbetty Although Elizabeth Bennet most definitely possessed a pair of fine eyes, Jane Bennet was THE Total Betty in Meryton. 💛💋
