A nickname for a group of six women who worked as political advisors for Bobby Kennedy's 1968 presidential campaign in a windowless work area in Kennedy's Washington, DC electoral offices.
Since the release of the cinematic masterpiece âChappaquiddickâ, the term has been adopted by New Englanders at large to refer to unmarried âpartyâ girls invited on weekend escapades with married men often on the Cape or its nearby islands, such as ACK or Marthaâs Vineyard. Somewhat derogatory in nature, the term âBoiler Room Girlâ is mostly used by old school DNC apparatchiks living in the northeast, such as the Kennedys and Slick Willy, to refer to their mistresses.
Joey Gargan: âI donât think the boilah room girls will be able to make it out to Chappy this weekend.â
Senator Ted Kennedy: âItâs not a pahty unless the Boiler Room Girls are there. Old Joey will fix it right?!â
Uncle Teddy: âThereâs a naked boiler room girl in my bed. We gotta get ahead of this thing if weâre gonna control the narrative. God forbid, this thing spins out of control to something like an affeh (affair).â
