Small-town Syndrome 

When someone has lived for so long in a small town that they form a sense of entitlement to themselves and act as if there isn't a relevant world outside of their town.

Someone with small-town syndrome usually is majorly concerned with gossip and events only happening with people in their town and let their life revolve around such meaningless rumors. They act as if life is high school. Parents/Adults and children all engage in cliquey behavior.

People with small-town syndrome usually don't realise they act this way, and may be insulted if pointed out.

People with small-town syndrome may have lots of trouble adjusting to life in the real world (wherever they move to out of the comfort of their family/friends also from same town)

Jeff and Jenny are all about meeting at the local café, (the only one in our town, so it is THE place to hang out and gossip), but the problem with the café is that no one seems to be able to talk about any current events in the world, they all seem to have small-town syndrome.

small town girl syndrome 

When a girl, typically high school age, is in a shitty relationship but refuses to break up with her boyfriend because she doesn't realize the amount of other guys out there in the world. Typical of girls who spend their whole childhood in a small town.

Her boyfriend is such a player, but she won't move on because she has small town girl syndrome.

Small town syndrome 

Small town syndrome is when people's thoughts are limited by a mental box, the less knowledge of the outside world, the smaller the box. This often happens when people do not venture past their back door.

"how can he talk about that culture in that way, he has never even spent time with those people"

"He is suffering from small town syndrome, he does not know what is out there"

Just a small town girl 

The first line in the orgasmic song that is called Don't Stop Believing. If that one line is sung in any public place during a long period of silence it will cause everybody within a 30 foot radius to break out singing.

*In a library after 30 minutes of silence*
Guy 1: Just a small town girl...
Guy 2: ...Living in a lonely world...
Everybody: She took the midnight train going anywhere...

Small Town Syndrome 

A phenomenon that occurs in small towns with very little to do. The person feels bored and isolated and starts doing self destructive things like getting drunk, being promiscuous, and doing lots of drugs to feel a sense of excitement that they can't otherwise feel in their lives.

The internet, hobbies, and passion are cures for small town syndrome.

small town police

A police officer that, instead of actually helping society and arresting people for actual crimes, like to to a list of annoying things because of their lack of actual things to respond to or stop; such as
1. sit by areas where the speed limit drops significantly with a radar gun to get you for 5mph over cause you didn't slow down quick enough
2.harass teenagers while they are just walking around not doing anything wrong asking them what they are up to.
3.not respond to burglary calls (My friend and his dad had this happen)
4. Act like town curfew means "immediate quarantine" and love to fine you up the ass for breaking this even if your standing 50 feet away from your yard.
5. think skateboarding/longboarding is a serious crime, although it can be annoying they take the rules to far on this one.

I don't have problems with authority, just bored fat pricks with a badge and tazers.

Vicksburg MI has a terrible case of small town police officers.
