townie

in america a townie is a girl/boy,man/woman who grew up in and lives in a town/city that has a usually large transient population of prep school/college students (or any transient population.) boston, a big city, has alot of townies, but also a large population of college students, most of whom come from small middle-class and upper-middle-class suburban towns accross america.many of these students are ignorant of urban/big city life and draw the wrong conclusions about townies and from what they've seen in the movies and on tv.

jimmy is a townie from boston. he attends college, but commutes to school and works part-time. jimmy has a strong boston (city) accent which is quite distinctive by middle-america standards. he frequently has to repeat himself when speaking with people from oklahoma and nebraska. it's tacitly understood that a boston (or new york) accent is low-brow and it would be best if he learned to lose it and speak "normal" like he's from greenwich, connecticut.

josh is from suburban washington dc. his natural habitat is sitting in a suv with tinted windows in a fast food drive-thru. when he came of age he had to leave his suburban town to attend college/university. he was taught to believe 99% of kids from "the city" are black and/or hispanic and he has a difficult time relating to a white townie like jimmy who's white like him but talks and acts different, i.e. josh is soft spoken while jimmy sounds and acts more rough. guys like josh are particually uncomfortable around so-called working-class blue collar guys like ups/fedex drivers,mailmen,firemen,etc.;

townie

A person who will
1) start a fight with someone and then run away, saying he da man.
2) start a fight, put up a shitty resistance and then form a collective bootfucking to your ass, from all his townie friends, who in societys lack of the death penatly will live well into old age.
3) Townie rules consist of whatever they see fit, and that usually mean gang beatings.

1) Man this townie just tried to fight me and then tells everyone he won.
2) Fucking townies and their bootfucking shit.
3) Theres like 50 townies outside! sweet.

townies are the kind of people that wear track suits that look rediclious. they go round the street starting fights with people they've never seen before over a cig, sad bastads. they have nothing to do with there free time so they beat people up for amusement its stupid. the reason they do this is because there mother is probberly about 26, an alacholic and probberly addicted to some drugs. these kind of people have not been brought up well and will never be diffrent!

The stereo typical 'townie' is more than likely going to be exactly like the first statement.

The townie that is a townie because he/she lives in a town centre should not be stereotyped. These people are mostly people living off benifits and their children ofter grown up to be sucessful.

A fucked up Townie shagged a lass of the ages 6.

Okay, this is all extreme, some of the townies I know, aren't COMPLETE knobheads but then..some are.
They hate grungers. Think anyone who isnt wearing ugly, cheap ass clothing (no matter how much it cost it still manages to LOOK c.h.e.a.p) are grungers, or posh, innit?
(Innit really bugs me. In WHAT exactly? Or I reply sweetly, "It is.")
Listen to *shudder* "music."
Typical townie music is: Fittty Ceant, Blazin' Squad, Sean Paul Kiss 100 etcetera.
How to recognise a twonie near you:
Wel, enough has been said about townies out and about before me. So here's how you recognise a townie ONLINE.
Their Msn screen name is something like:
uR ClOthEs lOok GoOD... bUt tHeY wOuLd lOok bEttEr oN mY bEdRoOm fLOoR!!111
Accompanied by some stars or hearts or kisses, if they happen to be girls. Their profiles will include some of their hobbies too:
"Goin Destiny*" "Boys/Girls" "Ma phone"
Boys will include something about rapping, "hacking" etc.

Shout out to the person/people? (Man Bon and Kin Mun) who mentioned Harrow Tube Station. Cool place for grungers. (a hella lot of fit dudes up there, which is always a plus.) Live just near it. :P Come stalk me. Of course, the best place to go is Camden.
If you happen to be a townie, the best place to go where people of your kind gather is Watford, the Harlequin Centre.

*Destiny is a townie scum nightclub in watford. If you want to see enough fake burberry to last you a life time go here.

Just..go to destiny.

townie

Like to laugh at other peoples miss fortunes, e.g tripping over a crub, stumbling in the slightest, and so on and so forth. Like to be seen in large crowds of people, all wearing the same dirty nike trainers and tracksuit outfits. Some of the tallented ones MAY be able to string two words together that have further meaning than 'fuck off' and might be able to come out with somthing more intelegent to say than to start talking about some ones mother, who the USUALLY will not have even met.

Townie: 'OH go suck ya mom!'
