i was pleased to hear danielle use the term "biter" on antm last week, as it's my own favorite term for a copycat, as per my childhood (there were plenty of biters to be found at an all-girls school). no idea where the idea of biting meaning copying came from (a quick internet search was inconclusive), but i love it.
here is another winning item from my childhood--one of those rhymes girls yell at camp (or maybe on the playground if boys actually attend their school), or possibly while jump-roping:
*throat clearing*
boys are rotten, made out of cotton!
girls are dandy, made out of candy!
boys go to jupiter, to get more stupider!
girls go to mars, to be SUPERSTARS!!!!!
[ed. note: i like how female empowerment trumps grammatical correctness in this rhyme. no, i'm just kidding, actually i don't.]
