formal 

An occasion where highschool students.. usually of their last years.. gather along with teachers to socialise, dance, eat, and maybe tell speeches. Pretty much a celebration of graduating, how ever some schools have year 11 formals.. and even year 10 formals! Dress code is formal (opposite to casual) hence the name. Some countries call it the Prom, but in Australia its called the Formal. Girls dress up in nice dresses and take a partner who wears a tie that matches the girls dress and sometimes brings along a corsage for the girl to wear.. most girls find it super sweet and exciting.

"oh my god formal in 2 days how exciting!"

"fuck the formal, i want the after party"

formal whore 

A young adult, specifically a college student in a Greek organization, who attempts to get invited to as many fraternity or sorority formals (prom-like social gatherings - usually hosted at a third party venue where the organization gets really dressed up and then shitfaced with their dates) as possible. The motive for such behavior usually is due to the desire for hot facebook pictures, free alcohol, a chance to get dressed up in overpriced formal attire, a shot at getting ass, to impressive one's friends, to rebound off an x, or any other insecurity one can think of.

(Not to be confused with prom whore - one who goes to way too many proms)

Jackie is now single and because of this she has become a formal whore.
