well basically being popular means u have alot of friends and ppl like you and if they don't then that's not your problem. And I mean like in movies you see that they're mean, but that's movies, not real life, and the people you know are probably really nice people, just misjudged. And it doesn't who they're friends with, it matters what they're personality is like and if ur too cowardly to see that then ur probably just jealous of them. So wake up and grow up.

A person who has a bunch of friends, usually popular. A lot of them are nice but most can be complete bitches.

Most are athlectic and suck up to teachers to get better grades. In gym the make the non-athletes run for everything.

They talk about people behind their backs and then deny once they are caught.

They also spread rumors like wild fire.

Popularity Swing

Can be used to define when the popularity of a product or service gains momentum to another product due to the hype being switched over.

John: I'm using myspace right now it's the best.
Joe: No, you should use facebook because everyone is using that now.
John: Since everyone is using that I guess I will switch over then.

If people switch from Call of Duty to Battlefield 3 there is a popularity swing because all of their friends are playing that one game.

popularity contest

n. What you get when you take two dogs, three cats and a sack and shake vigorously

When I was in seventh grade, everything was a popularity contest. If you had too few friends, if you were too mean, too nice, too perky, too apathetic, too anything, you were a weirdo or a freak.

Something that a lot of people are paranoid about because if what they liked was popular, they wouldn't be "cool" anymore.

"This band rules."
*Band gets popular*
"This band sucks."
