    The term Barbie as an insult goes back a long time, just as Barbie does. I’m not entirely familiar with recent re-interpretations (I didn’t watch the movie from a few years ago.) But one traditional interpretation is that Barbie is plastic, and women who have had cosmetic surgery are sometimes referred to as plastic. That seems to fit a lot women in trumps circle. Or just “fake” in general both in appearance and personality.

      The definition I know from old times is plastic body with empty head. A dumb girl that only have looks going for her.
