A boy/girl who thinks they're prestige. They also tend to reply in their own time and they get gassed quite easily. They are normally light skinned but you can get lighties who aren't light skin. Oh, and they're normally good looking too (or think they are). The SDA denomination of Christianity is also populated with them so if you want one, you know where to look.

Lightie is British slang for mixed-race girl.
It's used as a term of endearment but is anti-poc by nature as it seeks to make mixed-race women (particularly those who have partial black lineage) seem 'better' than black women because of their appearance.
For example, lighties would be the following:
1) Jorja Smith
2) Mahalia
3) Latesha Grace
4) Erica Fontaine
5) Maya Jama
6) Any woman/girl on instagram with silky curly hair, biracial or multi-racial, sometimes has different colored eyes like green or blue, & fair skin complexion
Most grime emcees used to say that lighties were what we should desire and the ultimate woman was a lightie.
Lighties are stereotyped in good ways but sometimes are used as props for colorism.
They're praised for having non-black features while being a bit black-ish.
Most black athlete and entertainers have kids with or date lighties or have said they would like to: anyone from Stormzy has said they love lighties to Anthony Joshua who said he loved lighties. Most Black British men prefer lighties.

Now that that ouk is a prefect, he can tune all the lighties.
Translation: Now that that guy is a school prefect (upperclassman) he can direct, scold and order about the younger boys (lower classman).
Yesterday we caught the rugby game... it was all the lighties playing.
