(UK term, abbreviation: NfN)
"Normal for Norfolk" is a descriptive phrase used to describe an individual or action which is seen as so ridiculous it could only have been born as a result of the inbreeding supposedly commonly found in Norfolk. This can range from unusual local pronunciations and dialect to the incredibly stupid nature of many accidents in the region, or sometimes merely be a comment on how someone might look physically abnormal in a manner which cannot be prescribed to a specific condition.
The term was first noted to be used by staff at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, with relation to the number of accidents caused by the sheer stupidity of locals (See example 3). People who move to Norfolk from outside the region quickly pick it up and use it as a derogatory term. Norfolk types on the other hand use it affectionately to describe their own quirks. It is more commonly associated with rural Norfolk than those in the city of Norwich.
Not to be confused with the noun Redneck, although the act of shooting trespassers with shotguns among Norfolk types is just as common.

Get the Norfolk Reach-Around mug.The Independent City of Norfolk, Virginia.
Pronounced nor-fuck.
Now being referred to as "the fuck".
Better than Virginia Beach. (aka "the beach")
Full of squids, chumps, artists, trash, punks, poseurs, thugs, and all the beautiful women in the world.
Literally goes harder than said world.
And everyone from everywhere seems as if they're just passing through this hell hole in the adventure that is their life. But in the end, this is where they'll end up staying... for the rest of their future generations, until bouncing baby boys enlist and are delivered elsewhere.
But, no, yeah this is a big navy town
and it's old as hell.
Natives give love. The rest don't.
And you will die in this city whether
you're killed or laid peacefully to rest.

Get the Norfolk Aggie mug.A school that doesn’t know how to fix their toilet,fix their walls and absolutely does not know how to hire the best teachers. It makes me want to cry every second I’m there because it’s so stressful.Our principal has a YouTube account that he thinks is so cool and always says “hey panther nation” in the beginning of his videos. Also, if it’s a blizzard out we still have school bc Nebraska is used to having bipolar weather.
