The original use of this word implied an individual unfamiliar with the demands of life outside of urban settings. The oldest usage was typically applied to a well-dressed male, or one who is unfamiliar with life outside a large city. The word became prominent in surfer culture in the early 1960s, but it wasn't until the mid-'70s that it started creeping into the mainstream. Some usages in mainly American pop culture have contributed to the spread of this word. A rather cliched use of this word was prevalent in a 1998 American neo-noir stoner comedy crime drama film. What’s the word? Also name the film?
