Ditzy Blonde
by Akira Kato
August 21, 2003
How does she look? Is she pretty, isn’t she? She really looks dumb, doesn’t she? If you believe so, you might have come to an early conclusion. To find out she really feels, please click the picture. So, she feels dizzy, doesn’t she? When you hear that June is a ditzy blonde, is she a stupid blonde or does she feel dizzy? To find it out, I jumped to the online Cambridge Dictionary of American English. The result is as follows:
The “ditzy” is sometimes spelled as “ditsy”. So I entered the latter as well, and came up with the following result:
Tsk tsk ... No luck with the Cambridge Dictionary! Out of the four hits, the third one appeared the best of all as shown below: “Ditzy” means “silly and scatterbrained”. And its etimology suggests “dizzy”. So I entered “dizzy” in the search boxes of both the Cambridge Dictionary and the above WordReference.com. The results are as follows:
As you see, the definition on the WordReference.com appears much more extensive and informative.
Dizzy Blonde So, you can also say a “dizzy” blonde, instead of a ditzy blonde, to mean that the girl is stupid as the girl at left becomes so when you move your mouse over her. As you see in the above definition, however, “dizzy” also means “giddy”. In this case, she may feel a whirling sensation as she does when you click her. A dizzy blonde, therefore, might mean a blonde in vertigo or a girl who gives you a whirling sensation with her charming looks and/or her voluptuous figure.
