A suburban community within the city limits of Atlanta. Supposedly populated by Southern families with inherited money, but the reality is that Atlanta has never had much inherited money - or very many real Southern people, come to think of it. Regardless, the neighborhoods around West Paces Ferry are easily the richest in the metro area, and are home to at least a couple of billionaires that I can think of.
Apart from its residential districts, Buckhead is also known for its flashy upscale commercial side, from the expensive office space to the glitzy shopping on Peachtree.

Guy: I have a condo in Buckhead.
Girl: Wow, isn't that where classy people live?
Guy: I'm an idiot black guy who went to University of Florida, and I drive a car I can barely afford and I wear shiny clothes when I go clubbing. I think that I've 'made it' in life by taking out a mortgage to live in some bland high rise in a declining condo market. One day I will have kids and realize that I can't afford to send them to Pace, so I will move out to North Fulton and live in a Mexican-labor-built McMansion and send them to public school.

a part of atlanta referring to a bunch of white people who drive either a mercedes convertible or a range rover. they live in a mansion or a penthouse. most of them walk around trader joe’s, whole foods, publix and target with a LV bag and those big ass sunglasses, even when it’s cloudy outside. they can be spotted walking around buckhead square near that overrated shake shack place that all of their white kids go to and take pics at on that bridge up top. they think they are better than everyone else.

a person whos head tilts slightly to the side, as if he were looking for something arouund the corner.
The way Jerry was looking at the TV you would have thought it was crooked, but that was just his buckhead.

A female living in the Buckhead area that usually comes from money, marries into money, or constantly searches for their MRS. They are very sheltered and close-minded. Buckhead Betty rarely ventures outside of their comfort zone or try new things. They can usually be found in tennis skirts and Michael Kors jewelry, sipping mimosas with their girlfriends while the rest of society is at work. They love sushi, but will only order California rolls.
I was going to meet up with Erica downtown today but traffic was too bad for her and she refused to use public transportation. I'm shocked at how quickly she's turned into a Buckhead Betty. Bless her heart cause its not flattering.

Referring to those hoochie mamas that go out dressed like hookers in Buckhead (the trendy Atlanta nightspot).

The douchebaggy hair style of everyone who goes to Lovett, Westminster, or Pace, where they grow their hair out long enough to flip it constantly into place.

An extreme form of soccer mom found in Buckhead, hence the name. Often borderline-extremist baptists. Noted for their use of HEAVY makeup and their aversion to anything even remotely non-christian. Their kids fall into two categories.
1.The kids who blindly accept whatever their parents say. These people usually resort to violence against anyone who challenges their beleifs. (yes I'm speaking from experience)
2.The kids who relize that heir parents are full of shit, usually resulting in the kid becoming a burn, goth, revolutionary, or misanthropic writer/musician (and I don't mean emo kid by that.).
It should also be noted that coming into contact with these people for an extended period of time can produce the same results. Case in point: Me.
