Pulling a Melville 

A red herring that is so absurd as to alert the listener that the speaker is telling a lie. Oftentimes the lie is told when telling the truth would be simple but slightly uncomfortable.
Friend 1: Are we still on for coffee?
Friend 2: No, there is something I have to tell you.
Friend 1: What is it?
Friend 2: I have cancer...
Friend 1: Are you pulling a Melville?

Boyfriend: There is something I need to tell you.
Girlfiend: What?
Boyfriend: I am sexually attracted to men.
Girlfriend: Are you pulling a Melville, we can just break up you know?

Brandy Melville 

A shop where girls who think are "hipster", and or, "grunge" shop at where everything is overpriced and insanely cheap/thin fabric. The only reason this shop is probably in buisness is because Kylie Jenner marketed the shit out of it on instagram, and rich white wannabes become their number one customers.
*white girl #1* "Ehmahgawd, that shirt is so on point where'd you get it?!".
*white girl #2* "I totally got it from brandy melville, Kylie has the same one so I bought four!".

brandy melville 

A store where only rich girls shop it. It sells crop tops, thin sweaters, and everything there is pretty much cheap quality clothes that are way too expensive. People only know brandy melville because of Kylie Jenner and Pia Mia.
Wow that top is so cropped, maybe she bought it at Brandy Melville

Brandy Melville 

That store that a lot of teen girls shop at. Lacks diversity, basically, only white girls shop there. Known for the body-shaming "One size fits all" which is actually "One size fits small" everything is also cropped, thin and overpriced
That shirt looks really cropped, she must've gotten it from Brandy Melville.

ward melville 

School for rich kids who have nothing better to do with daddys money then to spend it on drugs. And were the girls who have no money whore for drug money. The smart asians make it look like everyone from the school is smart for the stupid white kids who think there black. And if you dont fit in with any of that, your a punk. Oh and cant forget the players!

Herman Melville 

Dumb boy poo poo sailor boy, I hope you have scurvy.
"Hey, you see that guy covered in poop over there?"

"Yeah, that's Herman Melville, he--"

"I hope he has scurvy."
A dix hills kind of town right next door to the hills of dix. Its in the same school district as the dix hills kids being the half hollow hills district. Both the northern state and LIE run though it and melville has its own post office unlike dixhills. which pretty much makes dix hills huntington station, but dont tell anyone from dix hills that.
For example, you could say im a dix hillian but then again i dont even live in dix hills i live in Melville.
