Suburban Syndrome

A person who is used to the safety or bubble of the suburbs. These are people who are likely to get their car stolen when they leave it unlocked. They also tend to not understand what being poor actually is. This is due to the bubble they live in that is due to having been raised in the suburbs. Many people will claim that their family used to be poor because they lived in a not-so-great area, or that they are poor cause they have school debts.
Nick: Hey dude I heard you used to be poor?
Chad: Yeah man we lived in an apartment for half a year while my parents were between college and getting into their career, it was hard cause we had so many debts.
Nick: Oh... I don't think that's really what being poor is, but anyways, I heard your car got broken into?

Chad: Dude I just told you, he opened my car door and took the shit!
Nick: Was it locked??

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
