Bestie

Attention, ladies! Paris Hilton is on the prowl for a new bestie, according to the Huffington Post.

The word bestie seems to be replacing BFF as the term used to refer to best buds or someone you regard with high esteem.

Ken Paves is Jessica Simpson's bestie hairstylist, according to a Yahoo blog.

Personally, I welcome the shift to bestie because BFF is soooooooo tired. Even MSNBC threw it down in a story about the relationship between Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey and presidential candidate Barack Obama.

Other words that could replace BFF: bosom buddies, gal pals, chumpanions and honfidants. The relationship that Paris is looking for could also be termed a bra-mance.

Bestie or BFF, which do you prefer?

What's worse is MSNBC using BFF? The Today Show'S Meredith Viera asking George Clooney if he thought he was in a bro-mance with Brad Pitt.
