Overbrook Park

Overbrook Park is a neighborhood behind the West Philadelphia section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. It was founded around the 1940s on the site of a former farm. For a long time, it had a large Jewish population. It used to have one Orthodox synagogue and one Conservative synagogue. Most of the Jews have moved across City Line Avenue (U.S. 1) into neighboring Penn Wynne in Lower Merion Township. The Jewish community of both sides of the border are considered to be one unit and are connected by an eruv, a wire attached to the telephone and electric poles which allows religious Jews to carry things on Shabbat. The Orthodox Congregation Beth Hamedrosh was founded in 1958 as a branch of Beth Hamedrosh HaGadol in West Philadelphia by Jews fleeing from West Philadelphia. It was first housed in a storefront on Haverford Avenue until they moved into their building of 47 years in 1960 at 7505 Brookhaven Road. In 2000, they purchased a new site in Penn Wynne. Following the sale of their property, they started to use the funds for the construction of a new building on the new site which was completed in the end of May, 2007. In the mean time, they were renting the old building from the new owner, a Black Hebrew congregation. On March 11, 2007, they moved to a temporary site in a former kosher restaurant site on Haverford Avenue where they remained until they moved into the new site in Penn Wynne on May 31, 2007.The Building that housed Beth Hamedrosh is now Temple Kefarym, A black hebrew Congregation. The Conservative Congregation Beth T'fillah, founded in 1948, closed down in the Fall of 2006 and merged with Adath Israel in Merion, Lower Merion Township due a lack of sufficient membership. The building that housed Beth T'fillah is now Overbrook Park Church of Christ. The only organized Jewish establishments in Overbrook Park that remain are a kosher pizza store, a kosher bakery, a kosher fish and produce store, and a kosher bagel store, all centered around City Line Avenue and Haverford Avenue in a shopping center and across the street. The demographic transformation in Overbrook Park over the past few decades has been astounding. In 1990, figures showed the population to be over 90% white. In the mid 1990s, the neighborhood started to become majority black. By 2000, the neighborhood's population had become nearly 60% black.

overbreeder

People who can't stop having kids and think that having tons of kids is fabulous, AND who think people who have just one child are horrible people for raising "spoiled", "selfish", "socially maladjusted", "lonely" only children (ridiculous stereotype myths in quotation marks). Overbreeders are usually putting those negative stereotypes on well-behaved, well-mannered, calm, happy only children at the same time as they're losing their minds running around in a tizzy trying to rein in their completely out-of-control, fighting hoard of kids.

The overbreeder Duggar family from Arkansas has 16 kids and wants more - scary!

Fucked over

<British Slang>
A term used to describe an unfortunate situation which is usually the result of one or more persons taking advantage of another. Under normal circumstances the person does not know that they have been 'Fucked over' until it is too late.

Being 'Fucked over' does not normally relate to physical violence/assault; it is more suited to describing a feeling of betrayal experienced when one realises that someone you once trusted has been deceiving you for their personal gain. Also see pulled a fast one.

Elliott was really let down when he discovered that his friend had be lying to him for the last six months.

Over thinking

Excessive thinking about a problem, while losing focus on the big picture. The result is an overly complicated analysis, and any solution coming out of this will also be complicated. And probably a fruitless waste of time.

Sean was over thinking the design of the website, and came up with a totally over the top solution that we could never actually implement.
