Happy 10th birthday, _Mean Girls_, and thank you for providing us with a cache of infinitely quotable phrases. You’re not like a regular movie, [you’re a cool movie](http://thoughtcatalog.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/tumblr%5Fmn8cfyqlpl1rvkb0to1%5F500.gif?w=584).

An entire decade has passed, and yet everyone still references _Mean Girl_ on the regular, especially on social media. Twitter crunched some data to determine which _Mean Girls_ phrases have appeared most often on the site since 2010\. Here they are, ranked:

1. You go Glen Coco
2. So fetch
3. It’s October 3rd
4. On Wednesdays we wear pink

Again, thank you _Mean Girls_, for these and the many other quotes you’ve given us. We love you. In fact, we have a [big, lesbian crush on you](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr%5Fm8x6h8PsCE1rx58bzo1%5F500.gif).
