The movie Mean Girls (2024) was chosen because it features interactions between teenagers that show various language used to build self-image and social relationship. This study analyzes the flouting maxims used by teenager characters in the movie using a qualitative approach. The researcher used Spradley’s (1980) method for data analysis technique, with used Grice’s theory (1991), to identify the type of flouting maxims and Cutting theory (2002), to identify the strategy of flouting maxim used by teenagers in the movie Mean Girls (2024), and 25 data were found. The most frequently was the flouting maxim of quality, using five strategies: hyperbole, metaphor, irony, sarcasm, and banter. This was followed by the flouting maxim of quantity, using one strategy is giving too much information.

And the last types are flouting maxim of relation which consists of one strategy, which is being irrelevant.
