The original meaning of Diva
"A diva is a celebrated female singer; a woman of outstanding talent in the world of opera, and by extension in theatre, cinema and popular music." (according to wikipedia) so very similar to "rockstar".
- watwut 12y agoYes, but that is not how it is used in everyday English. That word is not used too often of when it is, it does not refer to musical talent.
- jiggy2011 12y agoI assume that people using the term "Web Diva" are referencing the first definition. Although I can't say I've ever heard anybody use that term, this article was the first place I heard of it.
- judk 12y agoSnickers uses "diva" in its ads. The meaning there is "woman-like, and therefore unpleasant way for a man to behave." As long as women are disrespected culture-wide, any female-gendered term will seem degrading from a male point of view.
