Thus far, I've lived in Birmingham 19 years and only recently have I become aware of how corrupt the city truly is. All-in-all, if you live in a decent part, e.g. Mountain Brook, Forest Park, and places of that caliber, you should be fine; however, Southside, Five Points South (despite the beautiful Highlands United Methodist Church), Woodlawn, and other places of that nature are rather dangerous. The crime rate is high, but if you live in one of the higher caliber places you hardly notice it-- until it bites you in the butt and you're made to realize that even though you live in the beautiful, lush Forest Park you're on the cusp of Avondale and the "black gang neighborhood"... Or simply... "the hood". Drug deals aren't uncommon and Five Points South is one of the sketchiest places you could go in the after-dark hours. The homeless population, and the addict population, reside there and panhandle relentlessly.
All of the aforementioned stated, it's still a nice place to visit and it has proven to be a nice place to live.

Birmingham, Alabama was once a beautiful city with a booming economy... Now, included in Jefferson County, it is corrupt and bankrupt and the population is comprised of more poor-to-do people than not.

Get the Birmingham, Alabama mug.To be addicted to alcohol but not be an alcoholic. In the act of wanting, drinking, booting, or digesting a drink. Can also qualify as being extremely hungover, meaning your still drunk after many hours of not drinking, have a pounding headache and are to sick to get up to get water without booting. Usually a person who is bergin, is in a situation where they are in blackout or wanting to blackout. To truely successfully berg you must be talked about by others as the fuckn man the morning after. Most who truely berg are respected among university and high school students as rolemodels. Amatures can not berg, berging takes years of practice and determination. Common questions while "pre-gaming" or the the morning after are "Hows your berg?" or "You Bergin Yet?". The act of bergin can never be truely defined, its like being hammered mentally, but being physically and emotionally sound. The act of bergin can never be ignored. People who are bergin stick out in a crowd like an obese chick trying to dance.

Get the birmingham city mug.Biggina (noun) - When talking about a woman's vagina, it may incisively be huge in the hole, or the lips, et cetera. When referring to this, simply dub it "biggina", when talking to your friends; this may very well confuse the woman you're talking about in front of, and a very helpful slang word.
Rob - "Hey man, how was that anyway?"
Jareth - "Took me forever dude, you know, Biggina."
