Subject: Doom Cookie
Category: Terminology/Sayings


'Doom Cookie' is a derogatory term directed particularly at young gothy females. When this writer first heard the term it was used to specifically describe someone who was looked upon as being other-than-genuine for some reason or another. To give an example, a girl walking around in knee-high black platform boots, a latex corset and stockings with a bat pattern on them who's at an utter loss when asked who Peter Murphy is would have fit very well within this description. However, as time and opprotunistic slander is wont to do, the meaning and application of the term has somewhat broadened in scope. The most solid definition one might have for the term now-a-days would probably be 'Young-Goth-Chick-That-I-Don't-Like.'
