Socie

[Zipporah Schumaker]

As used by suburban St. Louis, MO area junior and high school kids of the late 70s and early 80s, a socie is one of the posh kids with trendy, adult-approved clothing, good grades and a fondness for weak pop culture. A socie is the opposite of a freak, who wears torn [Levis], boots, [Busch beer] t-shirts under [ragged] flannel shirts, loves classic rock and smokes as much dope as possible.
