About this list

The iconic 1995 film Clueless introduced a plethora of slang terms that have become ingrained in modern American culture, revitalizing Alicia Silverstone's career and redefining the way '90s kids communicated. This cult classic not only popularized existing phrases but also coined new words that have been adopted and modified by subsequent generations, such as 'totally' evolving into 'totes' and 'generic' transforming into 'basic.' With its unique blend of SoCal speak, Valley talk, and pop culture references, Clueless left an indelible mark on the English language, making it a timeless masterpiece that continues to influence everyday conversation. Which Clueless-invented words or movie quotes remain a part of your vocabulary?
