adj. {lee nee} Describes a person (generally a woman) who is beautiful both inside and out who is always trying to do something for other
people around her - friends, family, strangers - but never thinks she's doing enough so that you look at her and see a super-human angel, but who sees herself as still not having the edge that everyone thinks she has. Most
people fall in love with leni
people (lenis) practially immediately, but lenis don't know why, and have trouble believing it when
people tell them.
Orig. Pet name used by close friends of Ilene Spark, an author from Nashville. Popularized when her first, semi-autobiographical book was published.
"She teaches her
kids everything, is a fantastic
cook, runs a business, is writing a new book, and still manages to help old
people move in to a new home. But she thinks she's losing it. She's so... leni."
