1. "Get in loser, we're going shopping!" - Regina George

Recycled by teens everywhere, you can still hear this famous after-school quote being tossed around in high school parking lots everywhere.

2. "She doesn't even go here!" − Damian Leigh 

Shouted out by Damian, towering above everyone, wearing a pastel sweatshirt and sunglasses from the back of the crowd. This line seamlessly pivoted the mood from admiring a student for outspoken positivity to utterly creeped out that someone broke into the school to talk about rainbows and feelings.

3. "Boo, you w***e!" - Regina George

Anyone who has ever had a friend cancel plans or refuse to come out because they were tired has found solace in this quote. It's the perfect way to show that you're disappointed while still keeping the tone lighthearted since most people remember this epic line and will know you're quoting Mean Girls. If they don't realize it's a reference...well, you probably have a friend to patch things up with. 

4. “Why should Caesar get to stomp around like a giant, while the rest of us try not to get smushed under his big feet? What's so great about Caesar? Hm? Brutus is just as cute as Caesar. Brutus is just as smart as Caesar. People totally like Brutus just as much as they like Caesar. And when did it become okay for one person to be the boss of everybody, huh? Because that's not what Rome is about. We should totally just stab Caesar!” - Gretchen Wieners

Nothing like a good old-fashioned breaking point, am I right? The most satisfying part of the Mean Girls movie is when Regina George's minions reevaluate their positions and start their quest for autonomy.

5. "I'm not like a regular mom, I'm a cool mom!" - Mrs. George

With rock-hard boobs and undying devotion for her daughter, Mrs. George is the definition of “keeping it tight.”

6. "Oh my God, Danny DeVito, I love your work!" - Damian Leigh

A clapback for the ages, long live the king.

7. "Made out with a hot dog? Oh my God that was one time!" - Amber D'Alessio

I mean, come on. Who hasn't? What kind of world would we live in if you can't even french a hot dog in peace?

8. "Four for you, Glenn Coco! You go, Glenn Coco!" - Damian Leigh

Glen Coco is a name that will go down in history. Glenn Coco wormed his way into our hearts without so much as speaking a line or even a close-up.

9. "Ex-boyfriends are off-limits to friends. That's just, like, the rules of feminism." - Gretchen Wieners

That time Gretchen Wieners actually made a good point. Even coming out of the mouth of one of the most out of touch, nonsensical people, this quote has merit. We can all agree that friends should never date their friends' exes, unless they're like, really hot.

10. “That's why her hair is so big. It's full of secrets.” - Damian Leigh

Volume comes at a price, and that's a price Regina George is willing to pay. Regina George is the gatekeeper of the school with her Burn Book of observations and criticisms. Her hair grows stronger with every secret she stores, and one day, it will rule us all.

Mean Girls will forever be among the greats as a pillar of teen dramedy cinema. It has succeeded in being timeless, with endlessly repeatable lines and GIFable moments. And, if it's lucky, the next generation to watch it might actually start using “fetch” as slang, and Gretchen will be at peace.
