Wagabee

noun

1
a young woman who wants to be the wife or girlfriend of a famous professional football player
But the wannabe WAGs, known on the scene as Wagabees, don’t just spend their time trying to catch a footballer - they also make vicious attempts at destroying the chances of any other girl.

Wagabee is a blend of WAG, an acronym of wife and girlfriend, which first hit the spotlight during the 2006 World Cup as an informal reference to the partners of famous footballers, and wannabe, an informal word for a person who wants to be famous or successful. Like WAG and Wagabee, wannabe is also rather derogatory, first appearing in the 1980s to represent an informal pronunciation of ‘want to be’. Wagabee is spelt in various ways as shown above, but the most common form is with double e, forcing the pronunciation of a long vowel at the end. Though WAG still largely occurs in capitalized form, Wagabee doesn’t seem to occur as WAGabee, though usually retains the initial capital ‘W’.
