2. Pale yellow or golden in colour, like light hair, wood or beer. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/B/blonde/#m2)
3. A person with blonde hair (said mostly of women; it can sound rude). [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/B/blonde/#m3)

### In the lessons

In stories it describes what a character looks like. In everyday life it is used for hair colours and hair dye. Trap: «blonde jokes» that say blonde people are not clever are an unkind stereotype and not true.

### Examples

### Note

Two spellings: «blonde» (often for women and girls, and usual in the UK) and «blond» (often for boys and men, and usual in the US). Both are said the same. Saying «a blonde» about a person can sound rude; «a girl with blonde hair» is kinder.
