Small obscure rural town located near South Carolina's capital city of Columbia punctuated by random single-wide trailer homes. The one grocery store is like a gross-you-out food oddity museum for out-of-towners, stocked full with delicious redneck delights such as pork brains, pork snouts, pork tongues, fatback and chitlins in family sized packs. The local social life revolves around the post office as everyone in town stops by for a postage stamp on a daily basis. The town is proud of its history and recently celebrated a centennial and purchased a pretty neat looking town clock. But if you drive through looking for anything historical, you'll be hard pressed to find more than a charming old shack or two.
What's up in Elgin tonight?

Let's go hang out at the post office.

The worst city in all of Texas. Where all the prostitutes go after a long days work. The "gangstas" here are as fake as Charlie Sheens sobriety. Nothing but wiggers who eventually will get shot in their cracker ass. For every high school girl goes into labor, another 4 get pregnant. The possibilities of getting shot in Elgin are 99.9% So don't come here while you still have a chance.
Person 1: "Hey, what's up? Where are you from?"
Person 2: "Elgin Texas"
Person 1: ".....mother fucker get the fuck away from me"
Person 2: "What? I just..."
Person 1: "I said get the fuck away from me"

Elgin/Elgin Street Sweep: to break-up with a boy/girlfriend; unceremoniously dump someone. To sweep someone out of your life. Named after the ubiquitous brand of city street sweepers "Elgin".
"He was cheating on me so I gave him the Elgin."

"It's time you gave that guy the Elgin Street Sweep."
