Heather In A Sentence

Saw her walk into the bar and just thought — yeah, she's a Heather.

Origin & Usage

Conan Gray's 2020 single 'Heather' — about your crush being into someone prettier than you. TikTok turned it into a compliment trend: people post videos calling someone in their life 'a Heather'. Has a second, older root in the 1989 cult film Heathers (mean-girl clique), which sometimes shades the meaning more sinister.
