What do you consider:
A) Dishwater Blond/Blonde
B) Strawberry Blond/Blonde
C) Olive skin

Was younger curly haired Taylor Swift a strawberry blonde? Is George Clooney olive skinned? Who is dishwater blond/blonde?

I have never ever heard the term "dishwater blonde" it is not a thing

Yes it is. Look it up.

It’s DITCHWATER blonde.


DITCH. Not “dish”.




FFS, didn’t any of you watch reruns of “I Love Lucy”?


And dishwater is gray. Ditchwater is sorta reddish because of red clay.


Y’all don’t do dishes OR get out much.

I don’t know why but I find it hilarious someone has been calling it the wrong term their entire life, and is now yelling at people for using the correct term.

Babe, it’s dishwater. You can google it.

I laughed out loud.

Especially the “sooooooooooooooo”

DP.

I’ve never heard of EITHER dishwater or ditchwater blonde.

I think y’all are arguing about some nonsense local slang.

NP. Nope. Dishwater blonde is a common term used throughout the US *and* other English-speaking countries. It's been around a long time. It's in the dictionary.

Never heard of "ditchwater blonde" and seriously doubt it's a thing. The water in ditches will vary in color depending on where you are, so it doesn't make sense as a descriptor -- could be reddish, muddy brown, black, etc.. Whereas "dishwater" is immediately evocative of the kind of grayish color someone is referring to with dishwater blonde.

OMG it’s in the DiCtIoNaRY?!?!

The statement stands. I’ve never heard this term in my life and I have lived in various places in the Eastern US and Canada.

Dirty blonde, that’s a term that I’ve heard frequently.

Just because you’ve never heard it doesn’t mean anything. You also don’t have much familiarity with blond hair if you’re unfamiliar with the various terms used to describe it.

Unbolded statement is accurate. Bolded statement is completely illogical.

Are you slow? It’s a color that has many hues and terms to describe such. Is all blue the same to you? You’re just clueless and doubling down.

Speaking of slow and clueless… Understanding different hues exist is not the same as being familiar with every backwoods terms every person in the world uses to describe said hues.

Good. you now admit you were just unfamiliar. Could have said that awhile back and spared yourself.

We will all wait while you enter the search term "dishwater" and see what words are suggested as adjunct to it, and then "ditchwater" and do the same. Report back.

They already made a fake search engine result. I suspect they have just crawled under their porch to die at this point.

Or into a ditch.

What??? Olive skinned people are white. Olive skin is a trait where white people tan nicely and don’t have pink undertones. Like Italians.

I’m pale but have olive undertones. No one would call me olive skinned though since I’m so pale.

This. Also, I am a white person with almond shaped eyes. It is a compliment regardless of race -- they are my best feature.

What an ignorant thing to say when, for centuries, women of Asian descent have been sold tools and techniques to “fix” their eyes to achieve a more hooded, rounded look. Go on YouTube and you’ll find tutorials to this day.

Honestly, the ignorance.

Don't be indignant on our behalf. Asian women don't need other's faux outrage and manufactured drama over a term for an eye shape. We are not offended by the term.

Women everywhere in the world, from every culture, from the dawn of time, have been modifying their looks to appear like other people who don't look like them. White women want to be darker so the spray tan, asian women want to be whiter so they bleach their skin. Young women cover themselves in makeup and skin treatment to pass as older, old women use fillers and botox to pass as younger. Curly hair people straighten, straight hair people curl. Hair dye. Implants. Nose jobs. Lip fillers. Eye jobs. Colored contact lenses. Hair extensions to get straight Caucasian hair. Hair extensions to get thick luscious Mediterranean hair. Fashion trends. Etc. Etc.

The entirety of women's beauty is one big cultural appropriation. Every female culture and color participates in cultural appropriation through their beauty choices and fashion trends.

Stop with the fake outrage and manufactured drama. This kind of nonsense had its moment when everyone was locked in their houses during covid going crazy from too much online.

That moment is over.

DP. And you do not get to speak on behalf of those of us, our mothers, grandmothers and greatgrandmothers, all Americans, who HAVE experienced this prejudice concerning their features.
