What Does BETTY Mean?

The Quick Answer

BETTY means "Attractive Young Woman."

More Observations...

It emerged in 1980s skater slang as a slightly derogative term for an Attractive Young Woman. The term was gradually taken into more general use and was eventually reclaimed by independent young women, especially skaters and snowboarders. The origins of Betty are unclear, but it was probably inspired by the character of Betty Rubble in The Flintstones animated TV series. In 2020, HBO launched a teen comedy series called Betty, which focused on a group of girl skateboarders. The series ran for two seasons.
