popular

A popular person is one who is well respected by his peers and has a strenuous and demanding social life. The word is mostly used in the context of middle or high school.

Popular students in middle or high school are not necessarily popular because they are nice people. As well, popular people aren’t necessarily heartless snobby bitches or assholes – different high schools have different standards of attraction, meaning that the qualities that are looked for in the social elite differ based on the school environment. At some schools and in some groups, truly nice people are liked, and in other schools and groups, popular people simply wish to climb the social ladder by whichever means possible; social behavior is a game of chess rather than an enjoyable experience.

To say that every school has a social elite is a fallacy as well. I have been to two high schools; one of them did not have a school-wide social elite. Instead socialization was immensely group-based, with the majority of socialization taking place in your group. There were people whose names were known by everyone, but for the most part, there was no major gap between popular and unpopular, and it could have been argued everyone was popular in some way, whether good or bad.

Two types of popularity occur in a high school setting. First, there is positive popularity, where people know and revere you. Secondly, there is negative popularity, where everyone knows your name, everyone talks about you, but nobody likes you.

Like in Bruce Almighty, where Bruce asks for the powers of God yet falls apart due to his duties being God, the boy standing on the fringes of society did not ask to be popular, as he knew the social headache he would receive.

Basically an illusion. People say they're popular just to get attention and make themselves seem better than they actually are. These "popular" people will throw parties and wear expensive clothing to look "cool" Stupid people who also want attention and to seem better will start worshiping them.

Girl 1: OMG she's so popular. I want to be just like her!
Girl 2: You know, most people don't actually like her. She only THINKS she's so cool. Take a look around for once.
Girl 1: but...but...but...

popular

A term used to describe a girl, usually a cheerleader, who gives blowjobs to a large amount of men. Popular girls can be easily determined by the abundance of white stuff on or around the lips, cheeks, and eyes. After being found to be popular, they can be called ms. popular.

A.K.A popularity

One or ones who are in very high status at their respective School, College, Sork, or other "group". Being popular can be based on many different things, sometimes looks or other superfical qualities though rarely can be because they get along with most people in their respective areas. May or may not be snobby, slutty, pretty, mean, or blonde (j/k)...^_^...There are different meanings of popular and anyone can be popular in his/her respective friends/areas

1.)I am popular at such and such High

2.)I am the (beloved) leader within my group of friends/work/other a.k.a i am (popular) with them
P.S. this doesn't work if you are hated..You maybe the head but honey you (excuse the expression) Ain't popular...We secretly hate your guts...

generally means your liked by a lot of people. i know the media and highschool films depict popular folks as being utter bitches or conceited jackasses, but it can sometimes be true. Take my school: A few kids are actually really scary and (possibly) violent. They've got friends or members of their "crew" and others in our year are "friends" with their gang because they're scared of getting beaten up. Even though this huge gang are supposed to be all friends they still tend to bitch about each other (which i can never understand). BUT...some of them can actually be quite nice when you catch them on their own, which brings me to say that this type of "popularity" is really a great big show to try and quell their own lack of self-esteem by being superior and stuck-up-their-own-ass. I could easily have done that, but i never took drama for a reason :)

i might not have been "popular" with everyone in general, but i have close friends, and i'm popular within that group. wow go me
