In Chicago, Illinois, during the 1990s, "Chad" became a derogatory slang term for successful white men in their 20s and early 30s. The term was popularized by a satirical website called the Lincoln Park Trixie Society. Chad was a handsome young man from a Big 10 school (or similar midwestern university with good sports teams and mediocre academics) who lived in "upwardly mobile" areas of Chicago, worked in law or finance, and still wore his old fraternity t-shirts. Chad dated a Trixie (later Stacy), who was a young, blonde, cheerleader-type woman who drove a black Jetta, drank Starbucks lattes, worked in marketing or PR, and filled her small apartment with the latest from Pottery Barn. At the time, neither Chad nor Trixie was overly sexualized or caricatured: Chad was athletic and could play a sport or two, but he was not necessarily a bulky body-builder nor captain of the varsity team. Trixie was an all-American "girl next door" rather than a bimbo. | |||
