A male or female who lives in the Western parts of Ballarat- however, the term has evolved to mean someone of specific qualities relating to these
people. Theoretically, a person of Delacombe or Sebastopol could be called a westie, but the word is mostly used when talking about groups of
people rather than individuals. A westie usually wears dark clothing and has piercings and/or tattoos which could have been acquired at any age. * It is extremely common for a westie to smoke cigarettes and they are also known for being involved with illicit substances, binge drinking and underage sexual intercourse.
The most common meeting places for underage westies are outside the McDonald's of Bakery Hill, in any Hungry
Jack's, the side of Sturt Street from Good Games to Savings and Loans, on the benches and stairs outside the entrance of Central
Square, and sitting outside The
Unicorn when they supposedly should be in school. If there is ever a westie/westie family living in an area that isn't in Wendouree, 60% of these home owners will leave the
house within ten years or continue to thrive there until
death.
*An underage westie is not to be confused with a scene/emo
kid. A scene/emo
kid may be a westie and vice versa, but usually scene kids who are not westies are part of a middle class family.
