Literary Brunette

LB for short. A girl, often a brunette, with a literary or artistic bent of mind; but not always talented. Often withdrawn, enigmatic, and strangely seductive. While not exactly an invalid, she is physically not on very sound footing either. Death may, in fact, be imminent. This only adds to her allure.

Examples of famous LBs- Charlotte Gainsbourg, Kirsten Stewart, Arundhati Roy, Josephine March from Little Women

-Oh have you met Tom's new girlfriend, she was chain-smoking gauloises and reading from the Surrealist Manifesto.
- Damn, sounds like a real LB (literary brunette)

Literary Value

1) A meaningless phrase that English teachers like to throw around to prevent students from doing book reports on anything worth reading.

2) A phrase that means that something is worthless, meaningless, or a lie.

1) "Of course you can't read Harry Potter for your book report, it has absolutely no literary value."

2) "She told me she's never had sex before."
"Dude, that's got no literary value."
