What's this type of person called?

Help me find a term that perfectly sums up someone who is quite posh (private school), cultured, educated and likes to party (cocaine, clubbing etc)? So, in the case of a female they will dress up in a bunny girl outfit and go clubbing type thing. All very liberal.

Middle aged. Totally functioning but burns the candle.

Am sure there must be a trendy phrase for it, like bougie. IT girl, society girl or sloane used to be.

But I don't know it.

Just asking because I have found myself in a social circle full of people like this and I'm not one (comp school, not an attention seeker but sociable like 'normal' working class people are).

I just need something that sums up the cultural difference effectively.

Society hasn't collectively come up with a suitable misogynistic term yet. Give it an hour or two, you won't wait long.

Answers had better be quick though - can't see this lasting long.

Why do you need to label them?

Nuca · 14/09/2023 11:28

Oh good, as if this wasn't bad enough you're using Karen as an insultHmm

MermaidEyes · 14/09/2023 11:48

I wonder what they would label you?

SurprisedWithAHorse · 14/09/2023 12:10

Do we need more social stereotype slurs, especially misogynistic ones?

If they've treated you or someone else badly, there are plenty of existing insults to use based on their behaviour.

Justcallmebebes · 14/09/2023 12:12

They're called people

Tadpolle · 14/09/2023 12:20

Women dont need any more reductive labels.

NeunundneunzigHorseBallonz · 14/09/2023 12:21

Middle-aged bunny wannabe party girl?

Paynefully · 14/09/2023 12:23

Midlife crisis?

are we talking mean-girls type of bunny wearing party girl? That makes me grimace.

VeridicalVagabond · 14/09/2023 12:25

Would you also like a word for men who live this way or is it only women we're interested in applying derogatory labels to today?

LongTermLurker · 14/09/2023 12:29

Genuinely curious to know a) how it would be helpful to you to have a name for this type of person (the words you've suggested so far are in common parlance) and b) why you hang around with people you clearly feel some contempt towards? Wouldn't it be better to just find more like-minded friends?

Hollyisalrightactuallysorry · 14/09/2023 12:31

I wondered if 'Karen' would appear on this thread, just didn't think it would be from the OP 😆

Agree with other posters, so we really need another name to cut people down with (as clearly that's what you're looking for?)

Beautiful3 · 14/09/2023 12:40

Honestly don't know anyone like this?! Sounds so werid. However I don't think labels help. Live and let live.

Crikeyalmighty · 14/09/2023 12:40

She sounds quite fun!!

Whatswhatwhichiswhich · 14/09/2023 12:41

Women - that’s what they’re called. Bully is what someone is called when they look to judge and label others though so careful OP, you’re coming across as one.

Lovingitallnow · 14/09/2023 12:42

They probably refer to themselves as "normal" too, but what do they call you?

WtfHormones · 14/09/2023 12:44

Fun?
Fun female?

ShirleyPhallus · 14/09/2023 12:47

I’m really surprised by the responses , at the mere mention of rich people using drugs posters usually say really disparaging things about them.

was expecting “loser” to be top of the list!

TheShinmeister · 14/09/2023 12:51

Party girl?

TheWrenTheWren · 14/09/2023 12:54

comp school, not an attention seeker but sociable like 'normal' working class people are

I hate to be the one to break it to you, OP, but being 'normal' OR 'attention seeking' aren't class-specific attributes. Nor is drug-taking.

Wtfnowseptember · 14/09/2023 12:57

Privileged

FannyBawz · 14/09/2023 12:58

Normal

Waxlyrically · 14/09/2023 12:58

I don’t know about a label but I want to be friends with them - they sound good fun! I might not be “normal” though I suppose.
