THE CLIQUE WORD OF THE DAY: APPLE-C


If you’re a Mac (not a PC), you probably think of Apple-C as a keyboard command—but to our PC (the Pretty Committee), Apple-C is code for someone who copies you or says the same thing you do at the exact same time. While it’s ah-bviously ah-mazing to ride the same brainwave as your BFFs . . . copycats are way less ah-dorable.

Do you think copying is the sincerest form of flattery – or a total faux pas?




Comments:

Well, I think that its a form of flattery, cause the saying is "Imitation is the BEST form of flattery!". PLUS, someone ALWAYS ends up imitating a trend setter...

well duh copying is total faux paw.

Posted by Hallee on June 11, 2010 at 09:33 AM EDT #

well duh copying is totaly fake .

Posted by Hallee on June 11, 2010 at 09:34 AM EDT #

well it really depends on what it is and how your using it. if u copy my personality, so not cool. but if u like an idea that i had and u want to use it but change it up a bit, go for it. being urself is better than copying anyone but if its an idea or something its okay as long as you make it your own.

Not flattery! Come awn, I will nawt copy someone! That's sooo dumb! Not even Duh-livia would!

O my gawd!!! I totally hate it when people do that! Even worse, this afternoon I'm having guests over at my house, immature 1st Graders! And I totally feel like Massie, I have 2 drag a weird wannabe and copycat around with me, plus my mom is just like Kendra, but worse!!! :(

Posted by Mary on June 11, 2010 at 06:34 PM EDT #

I think It Can be both. Sometimes, you just wanna say "awww" and then at the same time your like "ughh swagger jacker" lol.

Posted by zebrarox97 on June 11, 2010 at 08:59 PM EDT #

Totally Luh-vvv it :) Reading the clique now, such a good series, I just finished the chapter where they told about Apple-C!! How ironic right? Haha

Posted by Kenzie on June 11, 2010 at 09:38 PM EDT #

Eww no. Despite the fact that it is flattering, as an artist, I wouldn't want my work to be copied. And if I like someone's outfit, instead of copying it, I'd rather do my own thing so that she can be as inspired as I was when I saw her outfit. It's the flattering thing to do. Ah-bviously.

Posted by Stephanie on June 11, 2010 at 11:13 PM EDT #

Well yes i do think that copying is the sincerest form of flattery but it does get annoying after a while!!

Posted by Emma on June 12, 2010 at 11:41 AM EDT #

Copying is REALLY ah-nnoying, even if they're your friends. It makes you and other people think that they don't have a mind of their own if they copy someone else in school. In order to write your name in the book of popularity, you need to have your own look and personality, NOT someone elses!

Posted by Samantha on June 12, 2010 at 01:12 PM EDT #

Hey Lisi, hey clique lovers! ehamagawd i heart this series! especially the summer collection! keep on writing lisi! anyone awn?

Posted by Funnerz on June 12, 2010 at 02:56 PM EDT #

Well, if the apple-c happens in the clique, i think it would be fine. Because of course, that is why you are in the clique, you think alike. But if the apple-c is happening outside of the clique, its a definite no no. Just try new summer styles and stand out, then people will know it was your idea to make the new trend. :)

Posted by Megz on June 12, 2010 at 03:57 PM EDT #

FIRST COMMENT. i believe it's nice to be copied. it think it's very flattering.

Posted by camille on June 12, 2010 at 05:42 PM EDT #

Faux pa. get your own style loser.

Posted by erin.r on June 12, 2010 at 08:17 PM EDT #

No way! It's just not right, unless you're in K-2!

Posted by Zoe on June 13, 2010 at 06:17 AM EDT #

first! and itsss soooooo annoying.

Posted by erin on June 13, 2010 at 01:06 PM EDT #

Omg copycats are betas and the copied are alphas, so flattery if your copied your an alpha

Posted by Cliquelover on June 13, 2010 at 02:36 PM EDT #

I think is is totally uncool to copy someone. Yes, it is ah-mazing to have the same brainwaves as you BFF, it is totally stalkerish to have a copycatter! I mean, it is ah-bvious that you don't have your own life and you are not an A-lister.

Posted by Olivia on June 13, 2010 at 02:56 PM EDT #

Copying is copying and no one loves a copy cat. It isn't flattery it us simply stealing someone elses's great idea and taking credit for it.

Posted by Marissa on June 13, 2010 at 04:31 PM EDT #

Apple-c is totes unacceptable. Though it may be because they admire you,evrone hates a copycat I mean gawsh b original people!

Posted by Missperfect on June 13, 2010 at 04:49 PM EDT #

A total faux pa

Posted by Anonymous on June 13, 2010 at 05:46 PM EDT #

I hate it! It is so annoying! It's so totally faux. I don't think as it flattering at all.

Posted by Paige Crandall on June 13, 2010 at 06:05 PM EDT #

Ughh ! i hate Copy cats ! it is totally ahnnoying x12 !

Posted by Allyson aka Brand New Alicia on June 13, 2010 at 06:29 PM EDT #

TOTAL FAUX PAS... AND ITS NOT DUH- LIVIA ITS FAUX- LIVIA FROM "REVENGE OF THE WANNABES". DUH. ANYWAY I KNOW A GIRL WHO IS TOTALLY COPYCAT MATERIAL AND EVEN WORSE, SHE IS SOOO LOW- KAY ABOUT IT.... WOW JUST WOW ;)

Posted by ALMAZ on June 13, 2010 at 06:40 PM EDT #

well...awn some note copying means someone's impressed by ur sense of style. so copying sometimes is positive...as long as ur the one that someone's copying. people copy my style all the time at school. it ah-noying but still nice 2 know im alpha

Posted by Lindsay on June 13, 2010 at 09:42 PM EDT #

It totaly depends. If someone says they are going to get the same shirt as you because they luv it, it's okay. if they always do that it's not.

Posted by kittylove22 on June 14, 2010 at 12:14 AM EDT #

iThiink Copyinq is a siqn of flattery, unless you copy everything I do. Flattery & Copyinq go toqetherr...Duhhh!

Posted by Maude on June 14, 2010 at 01:49 AM EDT #

Well, I don't like to copy people, but I enjoy when people are copying me :)))

Posted by Livey on June 14, 2010 at 04:51 AM EDT #

Hey girls! U will nawt believe what happened with Leesh! Kay, so yesterday, we were walking our dogs, Bean & Cookie, when Kuh-laire walked up with a new puppy! His name is Sugar!

Posted by Massie on June 14, 2010 at 10:02 AM EDT #

Hellow guys, the clique was awesome, r u making a no.2??? PLZ REPLY!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Ashley on June 14, 2010 at 01:53 PM EDT #

Eh-ma-gawd. Totes h8 all forms of copying. Duh, total faux pas. Never, ever, copy someone else. Be urself gurls! Hullo? Isn't it ah-bvious, get ur own life. Today you're in, the next day copying is O-U-T.

Posted by Claude on June 14, 2010 at 02:03 PM EDT #

It maybe funny at first..but then it is just annoying!! Just like the girls who put their name as Massie on here. I mean seriously what posers! Just be yourself(:

Posted by Glossip Gurl on June 14, 2010 at 03:48 PM EDT #

Okay wow; haven't been on in a long time! And I noticed how little comments there are! Seriously a while back there used to be thousands! What happened? I say we get more people on here again like it used to be!! So EVERYONE please tell your friends and family to check this out! Thankss(: P.s. dooo it!

Posted by Chic Chick on June 14, 2010 at 03:54 PM EDT #

Copying is NOT flattery. It's just annoying. I don't want someone to be just like me. How boring! Everyone should be their own person.

Posted by Apple Ccccc on June 14, 2010 at 03:57 PM EDT #

I think copying is a form of flattery, because, well, good for them for knowing how awesome you look! Still, it gets annoying when people copy you so much that you are no longer your own person. I mean, something's got to set you apart from them!

Posted by Jennifer on June 14, 2010 at 04:13 PM EDT #

It's totally ah-nnoying, but sometimes it can be a good thing... but most of the time it's just plain faux pas.

Posted by EhmagawdX10 on June 14, 2010 at 04:27 PM EDT #

Hey.(: I think some of you girls are throwing your opinion out there without thinking of all the reasons people copy. I'm not a fan of trying to be something I'm not, I'm just saying some girls look up to their peers and want to be like them and it comes off as copying when they just wanna be a better person. I'm sure ya'll have copied at one point or another.

Posted by Clique Chick 101 on June 14, 2010 at 04:34 PM EDT #

Yoo(: I'm not a fan of copying. It kinda annoys me when I go out and buy something cute and my friends are all asking me where I got it at. I don't want them to buy it too. I got it first and I like it so I usually just say I can't remember or something. Cause nothing is less annoying when you and a friend show up wearing the same thing when you bought it first!

Posted by Peighton on June 14, 2010 at 04:36 PM EDT #

Copying is dumb. Don't do it.

Posted by Elllllllllllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaa on June 14, 2010 at 04:37 PM EDT #

copying is lame it means u have no personality and u need to use what others have to make yourself better

Posted by Cliquelover on June 14, 2010 at 05:39 PM EDT #

Well, I think copying is ah-bviously flattery at some points, and faux pas at others. If you wear a new ah-mazing outfit to school, and the next day everyone is trying to immitate it, I would find it flattering. If you say, for example, "What flavor latte' are you drinking?" and someone repeats it exactly after you say it, then I would find it a faux pas. It all depends on the situation.

Posted by Sydney on June 14, 2010 at 06:53 PM EDT #

well i guess it depends what you are copying...... if its clothes or a phrase its than its a form of flattery BUT anything else just makes you look like a loser A.K.A an LBR Thoughts?

Posted by EhMaGaWd on June 14, 2010 at 07:16 PM EDT #

i toh-tally think that its just faux pass!! i used to know a girl who would try to mimic me all the time, just so she culd be a school alpha like me! it really gets ah-noyying because if someone is just like me, then other girls will act like her, then what's the point of being me?!?!?!? then there's nothing special about me... she left last year... YAY!

Posted by ehmagawshhh on June 14, 2010 at 08:22 PM EDT #

I think it is flattery, but in some ways, it can be just really annoying.

Posted by Jane_TheAlphaStrawberry on June 14, 2010 at 09:53 PM EDT #

I think Apple-C is a mix of both flattery and ah-nnoyance. It's flattering that you and your BFF's think the same thing, but it's also kind of ah-nnoying. Because what if you were thinking of a cool, ah-dorable, funny comeback and your BFF said it first? Then she would get credit! Soo not happening! Thats why I think Apple-C is a mix of both flattery and ah-nnoyance.

Posted by Massie! Like Sassy! Not Maaayyc! on June 14, 2010 at 10:33 PM EDT #

i agree with kittylove22. it totaly depends

Posted by lili on June 14, 2010 at 11:06 PM EDT #

EX-KUH-USE ME! As Massie here, I luh-v when people try to Apple-C me. Apple-Cing is the best form of flattery. As for the rest of the PC, well they just find it funny. Haha heart you guys Dyl, Kris, Leesh, and even Kuh-laire! I wouldn't forget you Bean!

Posted by Massiekur on June 15, 2010 at 05:47 PM EDT #

both.....why? cause say its the most beaty-ful picture (its u with ur amigas) and u click save or say its an LBR asking for the hw. talk about annoying right? an LBR guy had to call for the hw i had to be nice (my mom was there so yeah! >:l) and it was soooooo ah-nnoying i had to repeat myself ova and ova. so wonderful to ah-nnoying :D

Posted by lola on June 15, 2010 at 07:09 PM EDT #

i don't like to be copied :(

Posted by isabelle on June 16, 2010 at 01:21 PM EDT #

haha i think it depends... it would be flattery if someone younger (but cute) is imatating you, and you don't have a problem with it, but it wuld be ahnnoying if everyone copied it, and it just doesnt stop or something.

Posted by kristi on June 16, 2010 at 07:50 PM EDT #

it depends . when someone copies me i get kinda ticked because it used to just be me getting the compliments on .. say .. shoes now this person will get all of the compliments . or if i start playing soccer and im kinda good then my friend starts playing and is ah-mazing i get kinda ticked because with about me this person would not be ah-mazing :P

Posted by mackenzie on June 16, 2010 at 09:40 PM EDT #

omg! i hate it when people do that it is so stupid. i mean i know you want to be just like your friend but give her a brake! people like that can get sooo annoying!!!! even when they get the same pair of shoes as you and your like man now i cant wear them because really who would want to be wearing the same thing as you bff.

Posted by lauren on June 16, 2010 at 11:11 PM EDT #

someone copying someone else is just wrong! it should be a law! >:(

Posted by molly on June 16, 2010 at 11:14 PM EDT #

Faux pas! Gosh, I can't say how annoying it is when you have a great style and someone does the same exact thing the very next day! Don't these people realize you have to wait at least, like, a week?

Posted by madness on June 17, 2010 at 11:40 AM EDT #

faux pas! i hate when people copy me!! i have a friend who everytime i get my hair done, she goes and gets the same thing done! or when i go shopping and get hott new clothes she will go out and buy similiar or the same clothes as me! ugh people come up with ur own things

Posted by kailey? on June 17, 2010 at 02:08 PM EDT #

i do think that coping is a form of flattering in some ways. If its nawt done constantly then yes, but if its done like every day then they are just EWs.

Posted by skittelschic on June 17, 2010 at 02:17 PM EDT #

Ugg. copying is such a drabb!! annd so is thinking you talk like the clique by adding Hhhhh es to your words!!

Posted by alpha4life on June 18, 2010 at 10:51 AM EDT #

Imitation is cute once in a while but it's annoying when your bestie steals your cred! Your style, your pinnash your unspoken language. You worked your behind off to make it and now she just floats in and takes it away? Nah-uh. If you have an Apple-C, do something about it. I know you're a trendsetter, but you wanna be the first in something so it looks like people spend hours trying to copy you!

Posted by AppleCIsMyBesties on June 18, 2010 at 01:23 PM EDT #

i think copying is a faux pass because if u start a trend but ur friend copies u then people will think she statred the trend and not u and then theyll call u a faux. that happenend to me :(

Posted by natalie on June 18, 2010 at 05:01 PM EDT #

EEEW!! i HATE Apple-Cs!!!X10 of course its great to always be on the same track with your BFFs but really when it comes to ah-noying LBRs who think if they copy you they are suddenly in your group of friends it's time to exterminate your closet of BFFs.

Posted by Ryland on June 19, 2010 at 07:40 PM EDT #

Yeahhh so copying can be flattery. Without copying, fashion itself could not exist. Which.... would be aw-ful. Check out fashion week photos to be first on fall fashions!! Personally luh-ving Dior and Miu Miu.

Posted by Kensi on June 20, 2010 at 09:18 PM EDT #

It is tres annoying when people do it alot, I mean it is flattering but some over do it.

Posted by ASHLEY=) on June 21, 2010 at 12:45 AM EDT #

Faux-pas! My liitle sis copies me all the time and likes to follow me around. I don't care if it's flattery. I see it as an annoying 8 year old following me around!

Posted by Wnm966 on June 21, 2010 at 05:02 PM EDT #

My parents are divorced but my mom is soooooooo embarassing i told my mom who i liked (big mistake) and she tells her friends and my dad! My dad goes out looking for my crush and starts asking me embarassing questions! ps.dont ever tell your parents that you like someone if they ask you deny it!

Posted by massiekur99 on June 21, 2010 at 09:28 PM EDT #

whoops i wrote the wrong thing!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by massiekur99 on June 21, 2010 at 09:30 PM EDT #

I think Copying is annoying because it gets on your nerves and people hate it!!!!! So if someone is copying don't react so bad just ignore them.

Posted by HOLAGRRL97 on June 21, 2010 at 09:33 PM EDT #

Copying someone else is totally off limits. The only good copying I can think of is stealing someone elses comebacks before they use them, but other than that, that is someone not smart enough to think up anything themselves, therefore, a loser:)

Posted by holagurl16=) on June 29, 2010 at 05:23 PM EDT #

Hehe. All you people who are like, "Ehmagawd, copying is like so totes ah-noying! I do nawt see it as flattery." are copying the people in the books. Hehe.

Posted by Uhm... hi? on June 30, 2010 at 04:03 PM EDT #

coppying is extra good if u have no coppiers then ur not a trendsetter and if copying bothers u then u probobly stick with ur trends too long u have to keep ur trends fast so by the time they coppy it you'll be on to the next thing and they'll just look like lame girls when there wearing last weeks stuff!

Posted by cassikur101 on July 04, 2010 at 03:02 AM EDT #

Copying just shows how NON-creative you are...come up with your own things ppl! Come on be a Massie!!

Posted by Fashionluvr13 on July 08, 2010 at 06:22 PM EDT #

h8 apple cs this 1 grl at my skool is an LBR she hearts me and talks 2 me all the time her younger bro is on my younger bros basketball team and we hosted the end of season pool party and i was doing yoga in gray leggings and a tight tight gray umbro shirt with minimum jewelry (wooden banglets, tons of tangled necklaces) i no it was like a 7 but i totes had a 10 bikini in my closet ready! but anyways the grl comes in2 the room where im doing yoga and im doing this pose and shes like wow u have the cutest yoga clothes and i luv ur jewelry u r so stylishlious and i turned around and i couldn't compliement her bac cuz she was in striped ankle leggings and some weird shirt plus earrings that were like gross and really long which is way 2 2004 4 my taste and her hair wuz all frizzy so i wuz like hey cuz im so fake nice 2 her she always copies me and asks me 4 fashion advice so im so going 2 tell her that i heart seqiuns on pants i no she'll do it!

Posted by alphachic on July 08, 2010 at 09:20 PM EDT #

welll puh-lease my oulfits are the best.... when someone copies its because they think you have the best things and they want them to when really they will never be as awesome as you... except if its your bff!!!

Posted by cheering is my life!!! on July 16, 2010 at 08:30 PM EDT #

i am the most well known beta in my grade.TAKE my advice. when someone copies you... yes its ah-nnoying but it shows tht they actually AH-dore you and your clothing BUT it shows tht they are a TOTAL EW!!! for those of u who dont know what an EW is it stands 4 eternal wannabe.... heart, gabby

Posted by the-official-clique-girl on July 16, 2010 at 08:33 PM EDT #

kk.. i know that when some total EW (eternal wannbe for those who havent heard) copies you its soo ah-nnoying but whenever someone copies my ah-mazing style i take it that they like me (obvi) and my clothing. you should take my advice i'm am the best beta and betas have the best advice and gossip to spread.

Posted by best beta eva! on July 17, 2010 at 07:06 PM EDT #

Whenever an EW copies they obviously think that I'm one of the most popular girls at school. After all, I am an Alpha. And jsyk um saying that your the best beta ever just makes you sound like an LBR

Posted by Oh2Cute on July 21, 2010 at 06:08 PM EDT #

My ex-friend used to copy me all the time. She started dressing like me and recycling all my jokes. One saturday, I got my ears pierced and that night, she was gushing about how ah-mazing they looked. Not only did she get her ears pierced the next day, but she got them pierced at the same place and she got the exact same ones! A week later, she got the same haircut as me! She was getting really clingy and we kinda just grew apart.

Posted by Alpha grrrl on August 01, 2010 at 11:03 AM EDT #

It honestly depends. If they copy you, and act as if THEY started the trend, then HECK NAWWW. >.<'''' Or if they do it REALLY badly. XP But if it's a very subtle nod to you, then I think it's cute, and it means that you deffs know what you're doing. ;3

Posted by Bianca (aka LadyJaggerX3) on August 04, 2010 at 11:26 PM EDT #

toe-dally faux-pas, i just go, "Hey, are you a printer?" (no) "then why r u making so many copies?" lol made it up myself :)
