A slang term that stands for privy, private, and privileged. It’
s the modern, rebranded version of “saditty.” Where saditty used to be thrown around as an insult (especially toward Black women, calling them
bougie or “white-
washed”), priv is an aspirational compliment.
Someone who is priv isn’t fake or doing too much…she moves differently (than most.) She knows things you
don’t (privy), keeps her circle and life selective (private), and carries herself with ease and refinement (privileged).
A black woman who is priv:
chooses to wear her personal style rather than what’s
trendy, keep her social media selective or minimal, values
morning rituals, chooses experiences over things, read or listens to content that improves her life, keeps a clean living space, speaks deliberately, takes care of her body, and practices financial discretion.
“You should date a
girl who’s priv, she will upgrade your life without trying.
“I
don’t think she’s white-washed,
maybe she’s just priv.”
“Brunch was hella priv.”
