Blondie
Pale-haired person's nickname
Blondie has several distinct meanings.
It's a long-running American comic strip featuring a blonde housewife and her husband Dagwood, launched in 1930.
Blondie is also the influential American new wave band fronted by Debbie Harry, known for hits like "Heart of Glass." As a common noun, a blondie is a brownie made without cocoa—essentially a vanilla or butterscotch-flavored bar cookie: I made a batch of blondies for the bake sale.
The word also serves as an informal, sometimes dismissive term for a blonde person.
