Townie

Actually an American word adopted in Britain when we gave them the English language. A Townie is a person who lives year round in either a resort town or a college town. Chiefly refers to people who grew up in such places as, Ann Arbor, MI; Nantucket, MA; South Bend, IN; or Outer Banks, NC.

That townie just informed me that although the bridge looks dangerous it's perfectly fine.

hair force

Indie Rock types who grow their large (not long), disheveled manner. Much like bed-head but usually requires a good 30 minute in front of the mirror with $25 in "product" strategically applied.

Rob's totally joined the hair force since he started dating that art-school chick.

Jamaica Plain

A remarkably not-so-rough part of Boston. AKA, JP.

Me: some people consider Jamaica Plain a rough neighborhood.

Friend from Chicago: Some people are total pussies.
