A little reason to celebrate

Mean Girls Day

Fun · October 3

A day for fans of the teen comedy Mean Girls to rewatch it, quote it and wear pink, with a nod to the high school drama it skewers.

Mean Girls Day falls on Sunday, October 3, 2027. That is 341 days away.

Mean Girls is a teen comedy about a girl who grew up outside the American school system and then lands in a big suburban high school. She falls in with a powerful clique, learns its rules, and slowly becomes the kind of person she set out to mock.

Fans mark the day by rewatching the film and quoting it to each other. The movie is unusually quotable, and many of its lines have drifted into everyday talk among people who may not remember where they first heard them. Wearing pink is a common touch, borrowed from one of the clique's strict rules about what to wear and when.

Under the jokes, the story is sharp about how cliques work. It shows rumors spreading, friendships bending under pressure, and a school that sorts itself into tables at lunch. It also gives its main character a way back, which is part of why people return to it years after high school ended for them.

Watching with friends is the usual approach, since half the pleasure is hearing a room say the lines a beat before the actors do. The film's writer also plays a teacher in it, a math teacher who tries to steer the girls toward something kinder.

Ways to celebrate

• Rewatch the movie with friends and see who knows the most lines.
• Wear something pink for the day.
• Share a favorite quote with someone who has seen the film.
• Write a kind note to a friend instead of a burn.
