"Yo, Yofwanda did you hear about that party in Franklin Lakes at the 80,000 square foot house?"
"Yeah, Sha-neigh-neigh. Too bad we live in Paterson and can't go."
"I hate Flaker Towners."
"You say it, homegirl."

Get the Franklin Lakes mug.Franklin Decathlon is one of the of the many competing schools in the L.A district that competes in a variety of 10 subjects and absolutely kicks ass in every one of them.
Located in Highland Park, the Franklin Decathlon team has began such craze in the high school that they are now referred to as "DA SHIT" even though they prefer the students bow down to their intellectual badassery instead.
In 2010, the team made it to the first time in school history to the State Competition in Sacramento and though they finished 27th place and did not win, they assure everyone, "you can't have your cake and eat it too".
Franklin Decathlon is the most dedicated team to ever come out Franklin High School and will continue to be a legacy for years to come.

Get the Franklin Creamer mug.The "FC" is a county in central Ohio. Although it contains the great city of Columbus, capital of Ohio and also known as the San Fransisco of the midwest, it will never have a hit fox tv series based on it. Probably because the weather is crappy. And we have no beaches.

Get the franklin county mug.Franklin Square, New York (known as the square) home to H.Frank Carey High School, which at one time was 99% white and 1% other. It has recently become more diverse but is still mostly white. The children population is 50% italian, 50% wigga. All the kids think their tough and think they can fight ANYBODY, but they usually say that while high or drunk. Yes, smoking and drinking, basically the only two things you can do in this town. All the kids will say this is the worst town and that there's nothing to do, but they will rep it hard always wanna come back when their away. All meals revolve around a bagel store called A & S. Need some breakfast...go to A & S, want some lunch...go to A & S, got the munchies late at night....go to A & S. When the kids aren't in school, or drinking, or at the mall they're probably just chillin hard at someones house. The parents of the town are pretty quiet, but their are some "italian mobsters" in the town who think they run it, but there's nothing really to run. Basically, if you come to Franklin Square you either get shot up by a "wanna-be mobster" or a wigga.

Get the Franklin D. Roosevelt mug.a school in massachusetts that has a nice staff, but the kids are very rude. they're mostly preppy/wannabe popular kids wearing hollister, abercrombie, and aeropostale clothing. the guys are mostly sporty douchebags. they're stuck up and they think that they're so awesome, when in reality, nobody cares.
