Decently written but slightly overrated book series by Cecily Von Ziegesar. These were perhaps the first books to describe the lives of wealthy, slightly screwed-up young adults, but they were certainly not the last. Many similar series have followed, including The Clique, The A-list, and Private.
They are very popular among girls who dislike reading, because they describe a glamorous world and reading them is very wish-fulfilling. However, they've got plenty of literary references in them that sail over the heads of most teenage readers.
They're more or less well-written, give credit where credit is due, but let's get one thing straight: they are not great American literature or anything.
Obsessed and slightly dippy fangirl: I looooove the gossip girl books, they're soooo high lit.

Nice, normal person: they're all right, but perhaps you just wish you were Serena?

Obsessed and slightly dippy fangirl: nooooo! they're deep! they're high literature!

Nice, normal person: yeah... keep telling yourself that.

Get the Gossip Girl Books mug.
The book written by the author of the Gossip Girl series as a mashup, in which the two main characters, Serena and Blair become serial killers and kill everyone they hate in Manhattan, trying to keep blood away from their brand new Prada bags or YSLs.
Girl : OMG, Gossip Girl, Psycho Killer is so great!
Other Girl: My favorite part is when Serena kills the guy that didn't wanna pour her a Martini for being underage!
Girl: Too bad her Gucci got dirty!
Other Girl: Tots.
Get the Gossip Girl, Psycho Killer mug.
A term used to refer to a group of girls that go to the bathroom together. Similar to a school of fish, or a herd of cows, the group of girls is called a gossip of girls. 3+ girls must be present in order to be called a gossip.
Man 1 - Dude, I just walked by a Gossip of Girls on the way to the bathroom. They were talking a mile a minute!
Man 2 - I will never understand why they need to go to the bathroom together.
