Catchword for “alpha kitty”
Catchword: alpha kitty
Filed under: , ,
Part of speech: n.
Quotation: I’m an Alpha Kitty: brave, intuitive, fierce, passionate and…well, yes, weird.…We love fashion—but Alpha Kitties don’t wear muzzles. (Not even when they’re made of diamonds—that’s so 20th century, dahling.) Alpha Kitties must be heard. Are you an Alpha Kitty, too? Then…meow, you’re in the right place. I see a herd of stampeding Alpha Kitties painting the world with our unique points of view. Look out, world! Yes, some people should be scared. Oh, another thing about Alpha Kitties? We’re often planted in the wrong garden when we’re younger. We’re susceptible to being surrounded and underestimated by cookie-cutter people

Greetings Alpha Sister,

I love the catch phrase! We may not be so gruff but indeed we are tough, keep the good vibes flowing.

Warm regards,

Kelly

Passive-aggressive, insecure female. One who demonstrates the irony of self-appointed, group-based, non-conformity. (Hello Kitty, a translation: you ARE cookie-cutter). Example:
I am an alpha kitty because I'm my own person and wear vintage clothes like Sarah Jessica Parker. We alpha-kitties pay pros to video ourselves bopping around telling you about our non-orignal selves online.

Keep in mind that we're interested in terms that are not well-covered in mainstream dictionaries, or not covered at all. A mass of unexamined Google hits counts for nothing, but an early use of the term you've found in a book or periodical is very useful. A term does not have to be new to be recorded here, it merely needs to be worthy of more attention.
