trixie /tricks ee/ n. Derisive term for social-climbing, professional woman in her 20s or 30s, especially one from Lincoln Park, although migration has spread around the city. Attributes include: blond or blond-highlighted hair, ponytail, black Volkswagen Jetta or Honda Accord, nice purse, degree from large Midwestern university, well-manicured nails and no-foam skim latte. Immortalized by the tongue-in-cheek Lincoln Park Trixie Society.
