According to Wikipedia, the “basic bitch” is a slang term used to pejoratively describe girls who like mainstream culture or products. In America this normally applies to girls who drink pumpkin spiced lattes from Starbucks and listen to One Direction. Here at Exeter, the basic bitch takes on a whole new meaning. She’s mainstream but just a little bit edgy, she’s popular but just a little bit nerdy – she’s as posh as the cast of Made in Chelsea but she parties like she’s on Geordie Shore.
