What is a Voguette

Voguette, what does the word mean? Although it is not a word in the main dictionaries yet, the word is widely used on the street to describe a type of person. We strongly believe the word will be included in future editions of dictionaries. See a rule below Merriam-Webster uses to include new words in its dictionary... (Before a new word can be added to the dictionary, it must have enough citations to show that it is widely used. But having a lot of citations is not enough; in fact, a large number of citations might even make a word more difficult to define, because many citations show too little about the meaning of a word to be helpful. A word may be rejected for entry into a general dictionary if all of its citations come from a single source or if they are all from highly specialized publications that reflect the jargon of experts within a single field. To be included in a Merriam-Webster dictionary, a word must be used in a substantial number of citations that come from a wide range of publications over a considerable period of time. Specifically, the word must have enough citations to allow accurate judgments about its establishment, currency, and meaning. The number and range of citations needed to add a word to the dictionary varies. In rare cases, a word jumps onto the scene and is both instantly prevalent and likely to last, as was the case in the 1980s with AIDS. In such a situation, the editors determine that the word has become firmly established in a relatively short time and should be entered in the dictionary, even though its citations may not span the wide range of years exhibited by other words). Below are some definitions from other sources: From Urban Dictionary.com 1. voguette “Voguettes” are helpful people who use the Australian Vogue Forums (website: forums.vogue.com.au).

What is a Voguette

For starters that’s not really a word in itself because the dictionary doesn’t recognize it. But then again, if one can come to terms and accept a term such as bootylicious, why not ‘voguette’? After all, it is an etymology of the term ‘vogue’. Fashionista’s around the world stand together as they accept the term. Vogue simply means style, trend or fashion and who simply doesn’t want to be fashionable? A Voguette is simply that. You are Miss Voguette when you’re at your stylish best. It’s not a crime to look stylish day in and day out and you must simply ignore those eyes of different colours goggling at you. They’re merely wondering where you get your taste from. It’s definitely tiring being fashionable and I must insist you agree with me on that. Everyday is a task to look good, jump to google the latest trends, what’s in and out... I kid you not when I say it’s tiring. Now of course, a ‘voguette’ is definitely a post- modernist term. After all, this isn’t the 1800s although we do need to do a little time travelling.
