Belonging to the class of bland, clean-cut, middle-of-the-road suburbanite breeders. The Cleavers from the old TV show "Leave It To Beaver" are a familiar archetype of whitebread culture. Compare to yuppie.
The term implies profound cultural naïvete, blind consumerism, and an unquestioning "follower" mindset. Common trappings of the whitebread lifestyle include golf, Kenny G and Enya CDs, SUVs, an irrational fixation on lawn care, Golden Retrievers, nominally Christian religious beliefs, Old Navy clothing, moderate to conservative political views, bad Chardonnay, equally bad espresso, cookie-cutter houses, Bath & Body Works hygiene products, and very white-collar employment.
Though whitebread individuals are usually white, the term is not necessarily racial in meaning - the implication lies more with the blandness, predictability, and banality of plain white bread. Accordingly, "wonderbread" is often used as a synonym.

I'll bet the amount of money that whitebread neighborhood spends on lawn fertilizer could feed a small African nation.

Get the whitebread mug.White Girl Crazy is the very "special" way that white girls get from time to time. There is no specific known cause for this type of action or behaviors, however it is generally linked to male interaction. Any girl can become White Girl Crazy there are no age or race boundaries.
I was out to a nice dinner with my wife when all of a sudden she stood up and started yelling something about me having an affair with the waitress, and then stormed out of the restaurant.
I'd never even seen the gal before that night. It was in that moment I knew for sure my wife had gone white girl crazy.

Refers to a waistcoat-wearing, pocket-watch-wielding white rabbit, hurrying along and muttering, "Oh dear! I shall be late!" in Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland (1865), whom Alice follows down a rabbit hole into Wonderland.
Awesome rock band Jefferson Airplane's 1967 song White Rabbit retold the story of Alice's adventures as though they were a psychedelic drug trip. But whether you take it literally or metaphorically, following the white rabbit means following an unlikely clue, an innocuous, unbelievable (but also, frankly a bit ridiculous) sign, to find oneself in the midst of more or less extraordinary, marvelous, amazing circumstances that challenge one's fundamental beliefs, expand one's horizons &/or perception of realities, transform one's perspective, and change one's life.
The phrase has become commonplace in popular culture; e.g. in the 1999 film The Matrix, the resistance fighter folks use the trope of following a white rabbit to lead Neo/Mr Anderson/The One out of the matrix. Oddly enough, though, the phrase hasn't filtered through as a metaphor in non-fantastical contexts to any appreciable degree. Outside of science fiction or fantasy, if a writer refers to the white rabbit, s/he is almost certainly specifically alluding to previous uses, usually to Carroll. (We should change that!)

'There's something fishy going on here.'
'Well,' said Q, jerking her head toward the door to the stairwell, through which the tattooed woman was disappearing. 'You'd better follow the white rabbit, then.'

Get the follow the white rabbit mug.A girl who is moderately attractive, but is delusional & under the assumption they are more so. These people tend to be strongly opinionated, yet unable to back it up with any sort of reasonable argument. They have a voracious loyalty to an educational institution that would never accept them as students and are, in all probability ashamed to have them as fans. More often than not they tend to be hill folk. Fathers tend to be physically, emotionally, & sexually abusive to both the boys & girls without discrimination. This is in fact somewhat helpful in preparing the respective sexes for their future lives. The boys for the prison life they will inevitably have & the girls for their marriage which will most likely be to a sibling and/or cousin. The girls have extremely wide hips, but a flat ass, with a muffin top similar to a cupcake with too much yeast. She tends to believe that she understands everyone else's problems & knows what's best for them believing them capable of turning it on & off like a light switch. And yet she never deals with her own parental issues.
