Lacey Chabert, known for her role as Gretchen Wieners in Mean Girls, recently shared an amusing anecdote about her daughter’s confusion over the term “fetch.” According to Chabert, her 8-year-old daughter Julia had no idea what the term meant and questioned why people kept saying it to her mother.
In Mean Girls, Gretchen famously tries to popularize the slang term “fetch,” only to be shut down by Regina George. The scene from the movie has become iconic, with Regina bluntly telling Gretchen to stop trying to make “fetch” happen because it’s not going to.
Directed by Mark Waters and written by Tina Fey, Mean Girls has become a cult classic since its release in 2004. The movie explores the social dynamics of a group of high school frenemies, highlighting the challenges of teen girlhood and the consequences of trying to fit in.
In 2018, Mean Girls was adapted into a Broadway musical, which was later turned into a film. The musical, also produced by Fey and Lorne Michaels, featured a fresh cast including Angourie Rice as Cady, Renée Rapp as Regina, and Auli’i Cravalho as Janis. The adaptation received praise for its modern take on the original storyline.
Mean Girls continues to resonate with audiences of all ages, with its witty dialogue, memorable characters, and timeless themes. The movie’s quotes and references have become ingrained in popular culture, cementing its status as a must-watch for fans of teen comedies.
Lacey Chabert’s daughter inadvertently brought an end to the “fetch” trend, highlighting the enduring legacy of Mean Girls and its impact on popular culture. As Gretchen Wieners famously learned, some things are just not meant to happen, no matter how hard you try.
