What is a “buckle bunny?”
A “buckle bunny” is a woman who actively seeks rodeo champions. A “buckle bunny” attends rodeo events with the goal of dating (or hooking up with) a buckle-winning cowboy, similar to a “groupie” or “puck bunny” in hockey. She usually wears mini skirts, low-cut tops, and heeled cowboy boots, and is considered a “fake country girl” to true cowgirls. “The bar was full of buckle bunnies after the rodeo.” “Did you see that buckle bunny sneak into his trailer?” “He slept with a buckle bunny last night and ruined his relationship.”
Origins of “Buckle Bunny”
The term “buckle bunny” was popularized by the TV show Yellowstone. The term “buckle bunny” originates from rodeo culture, due to the large belt buckles that are awarded to rodeo winners. However, the show Yellowstone made the term mainstream. In the show, veteran ranch hand Lloyd, played by Forrie J. Smith, describes a “buckle bunny” as a female who hangs around rodeo events hoping to snag the cowboy of her dreams. Female characters Mia and Laramie are considered buckle bunnies on Yellowstone, since they find their way to the ranch after Mia develops a crush on fellow ranch hand Jimmy.
Why “Buckle Bunny” Is Trending on TikTok
The term is trending, due to the “Buckle Bunny” song by Tanner Adell. In general, a “buckle bunny” is a derogatory term used to slut-shame women. However, country artist Tanner Adell wanted to redefine the term in a positive light. Her song “Buckle Bunny” highlights female independence and self-identity in rodeo culture, and tons of women have posted videos to her song on TikTok, including “buckle bunny” outfit ideas and satirical videos about being a “buckle bunny.” Some TikTok users claim that they have been stereotyped as buckle bunnies for being “pretty and country.” According to Adell, a buckle bunny is “independent, a woman who knows what she wants, and someone who's not afraid to take risks.”

Bop According to Gen Z, a “bop” is someone who posts revealing photos of their body online and has lots of sexual partners (or only hangs out with the opposite sex). The term can apply to men and women, but it’s typically used to slut-shame women. Due to this, most users believe a “bop” is a misogynistic term. “Don’t respond to that bop. He’s so dumb for cheating on you!” “She’s the definition of a bop, dude. Have you ever seen her without 10 guys on her side?” “He had the audacity to call me a bop because I have a lot of guy friends. He got blocked so fast!”
Thot “Thot” is an acronym that stands for “that hoe over there,” which refers to a woman who is sexually provocative or promiscuous. It’s another way of calling someone a “slut” or a “whore,” so it’s considered a derogatory and misogynistic term. “Bryan talked to the thot in our class so I broke up with him.” “Why does she always have her bra out? She’s such a thot.” “She’s kind of a thot. She’s slept with everyone in the friend group.”
DDG On social media and over text, the acronym “DDG” is short for “drop dead gorgeous.” It’s a hyperbolic expression to tell someone they’re breathtakingly beautiful or attractive enough to make you drop dead. “Wow, you look DDG in that dress!!!” “Did you see that new guy in class? He’s DDG!” “I saw this girl at the airport, and she was DDG. Seriously bro, I couldn’t stop staring.”
Dime If someone calls you a “dime,” take it as a compliment—they think you’re highly desirable or a 10 on the scale of attractiveness. The phrase usually describes a woman's looks, but it can refer to her personality too. A dime is confident, charming, and charismatic, making her the total package! “That girl over there is an absolute dime.” “You have to see his girlfriend. She’s a dime!” “Girl, you have beauty and brains—you’re a dime!”
