E. Hinton Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery Definitions Wiki “basic bitch”: Airhead, also known as ghetto prep, popular, Trixie (in Chicago),[1] basic bitch, or simply basic, is a slang term in American popular culture used to pejoratively describe women (usually white) who are perceived to predominantly like mainstream products, trends, or music[2] while at the same time fearing and disliking diversity. Urban dictionary “headcanon”: Used by followers of various media of entertainment, such as television shows, movies, books, etc. to note a particular belief which has not been used in the universe of whatever program or story they follow, but seems to make sense to that particular individual, and as such is adopted as a sort of "personal canon". Headcanon may be upgraded to canon if it is incorporated into the program or story's universe.
