ritz
1. A brand of crackers. Many times, they're actually two crackers with a filling in the middle, such as cheese or peanut butter. According to a submitted definition, it's this way because 'Ritz' is apparently slang for a half-Asian, half-European person - the white crackers were the white part and the yellow cheese is the Asian part. Another definition here claims it's that way because the maker of
Ritz wanted a fancy name.
Whatever the case may be, the cracker brand is owned by a large corperate company -
Nabisco - so both explainations seem unlikely, but they may be true.2. Fancy or elegant. (Exact definition.)3. 'Stylishness.' This definition is implied from the song 'Puttin' on
the Ritz,' which describes one trying to seem stylish, and then says, 'puttin' on the Ritz.' When it says, 'go to... where Fashion sits' before 'puttin' on the Ritz,' it's implying that wearing the latest fashion is related to Ritz, and that Ritz is largely based on your appearance. The song also mentions one trying to look like
Gary Cooper, who was a popular celebrity at the time of the song's creation. 'Puttin' on the Ritz' evidently means 'dressing up stylishly.'

Example:
e.g. "I need some ritz so I can study for my
finals and write my
thesis." (which, with
the help of ritz, you could complete in one night!)
e.g. "I am so ritzed right now, i could fly."

Slang for a person of mixed Asian and European backgrounds, named after the
snack cracker:
the yellow color is based on Asian skin
tones, and the cracker part refers to whites.

A kid kind of like a toned-down scene kid. Not as obsessed with "dinosawrz" or Hello Kitty, but still pretty
sceney. They typically wear skin-tight
white jeans or white denim skirts, but sometimes they'll wear tight
light blue jeans or skirts.
Any shirt from Wet Seal is acceptable "ritz" wear.
Their hair's not as dramatic as the scene kids, either. It's either brunette with blonde highlights or all blonde. It HAS TO be chin to shoulder-long and straightened with side bangs that almost fall over their eyes, but not quite yet.
The boys don't wear make-up, but they will use as many hair products they need to keep their hair perfect.
For shoes, anything Converse or ballet flats is good. For Converse, they have to be doodled on and look a thousand years old or you'll be called a poser.
