Despite what most young people now believe, the word "Betty" never had anything to do with hotness. It started in the 80's and simply means a girl who skates, a girl who surfs, or any girl who does something that the boys are doing. Betties are cool, but aren't necessarily attractive.
Word evolution is okay, except when it comes out of ignorance, and you end up losing a really great word.

They still haven't torn up that old church pool we used to go to; tonight we're going bring a flood light and some 40's and skate it for a few hours. This betty we know might show up and bring a couple of her friends.

Beautiful in every way possible but unfortunately very insecure. People see her differently to the way she is. Often spoken about as a psychopath, she loathes her dark streak that comes out in times of struggle.
She is wonderful and should not change for anyone. Everyone loves Betty.

A hip way of saying “bet”. Typically used by a younger person in response to agreeing with something, or thinking something is cool.

Betty in the financial context stands for "Betty Grable". It is the currency conversion rate from British Pounds (GBP) to United States dollars (USD). It is rhyming slang for cable which is another term for the GBP to USD rate.
Betty is now 1.6824.
