supersweet sixteen 

A show on MTV where rich-california slut/whore/bitches get spoiled up to the nose because of their rich, dependable daddy. I would personally like to go to one of those 16 year old spoiled sluts and brutally murder them. They never get a single thing done in life, except ask for a different colored SUV every day. Screw those bitches. Screw em all.
Monica was crying to her rich daddy because for her supersweet sixteen, she got a white escalade instead of a silver. That slut deserves to die.
