By analogy with Ken of “Barbie and Ken” fame.
1. (Slang, potentially derogatory) The Prom
King. The most popular
guy in
high school. The other half of the perfect couple (with the Prom Queen)
2. (Derogatory) A teenage boy who only dates stereotypical popular girls (“Barbies”)
2b.
May also apply to a boy who constantly hits on these girls despite them being “out of his league”.
3. (Derogatory) A man who engages in the same behavior as sense 2 with stereotypically beautiful / ditzy women
3b. The same as sense 2b applied to a man
4. (Derogatory, offensive) An effeminate man
Those were the days when I had it all...star quarterback,
dating the
captain of the cheer squad, unanimously voted Prom
King, all the geeks bowed down to me...yep, I was the Ken without a doubt.
