Get the call Mary-Katemug. A person who is perceived to be much dumber, ditzier and generally blonder than they actually are. Normally because a social reject of some sort- either fictional or nonfictional- is bunching them in with a group of other stupid people. Though it can also simply be from wrong information or a desire to blame someone from something. Not to be confused with the bitchy girl who just acts bitchy to help her own image.

Get the Marie Antoinette Complexmug. (n.) A technique where a photographer raises the camera high above his head to get a picture of the crowd surrounding him.

Since he could't find a ladder or step-stool, the wedding photographer took several hail mary shots of the crowd.
