A resident of Brooklin is called a Brooklinite. Brooklin used to be a small village in Ontario, Canada, just north of Whitby, Ontario. It has slowly been eaten up by Whitby and is often referred to as "North Whitby" by any who live in Whitby. Brooklinites will scoff at the "North Whitby" term and demand that you say Brooklin. Brooklin is in the 905 and the GTA.
Re-zoning has caused a population
boom in the last ten years turning it into a high end bedroom community. People who live in the
new developments around Brooklin are mostly young families who work in Toronto who want to live “in the country” which is ironic since new residents are also likely to complain about the smell of freshly fertilized fields and the venting of barns. Oh, the irony.
An LCBO and
Beer Store have been built in Brooklin, which is a big
deal to Brooklinites.
There are a large number of young wiggers in Brooklin who need Clint Eastwood's portrayal of Walt Kowalski to impart some wisdom to them. As with most wiggers, those in Brooklin are
rich white
kids who are deeply immersed in fashion, but they
don't want you to think so. Most, if not all, of these wiggers would make very poor ganstas and
don't do much
better in the workplace since they're trying to be more gansta than the other
rich white
kids obsessed with fashion. Many of them originally moved to Brooklin from Toronto with their
parents. They think they're cool but really everyone is laughing at them.
Brooklin is not Brooklyn.
Person 1: You're from north Whitby
aren't you? What's the deal with all the wiggers?
Person 2: It's Brooklin! It's not Whitby!
Person 1: Yeah sure, it's "Brooklin" but what's the deal with all the wiggers?
Person 2: Their
parents moved here from
Toronto. If you laugh at them they run away.
