Snooki

Snooki is the stage name of Nicole Polizzi, an American reality television personality who rose to fame on the MTV series *Jersey Shore* (2009–2012).

The name became shorthand for a particular type of exuberant, party-focused young woman—spray-tanned, big-haired, loud, and unapologetically trashy.

She showed up looking like Snooki at a club.
