To the previous entry, actually, south county is one of the most conservative parts of the country. California may be liberal, but Orange County, especially South Orange County, is mainly conservative. Especially the soccer moms in their SUVS.

Get the orange county mug.A nickname for Iowa City, Iowa. Used derisively by some and proudly by others, the nickname refers to the liberal political philosophy of Johnson County, especially in contrast to the surrounding counties and state. Johnson County elects Democratic and/or Liberal candidates in rates uncharacteristic of the state of Iowa. The creation of this liberal enclave probably came about because of the University of Iowa.
As many students of the University will agree, the liberal nature of the area is also probably accounted for by the large number of Chicago area natives who have moved to the area. Many Iowans living in Johnson County and/or attending the university keep their conservative views.
This nickname is thought to be derived from the writings of a conservative reporter in Des Moines, Iowa.

The political views expressed in the People's Republic of Johnson County are typical of the kind expressed in scholarly, educated areas. The reason it is noteworthy in Iowa City is because the surrounding area is very conservative and rural.

A place that is, in fact, three places. There is the center, full of commerce. The middle ring has the normal, suburban living. The outer ring is a waste land, which few venture to. Most living there have careers elsewhere and commute or support the infrastructure that the commuters live on. It's a dull place, where teenagers are either having sex or are completely bored out of their minds. Adults plan to retire there. Fredricksburg students who want a hope for the future generally transfer to Stafford County High Schools.

Get the lebanon county mug.Chelmsford County High School For Girls, otherwise known as CCHS, is an all-girls grammar school in the South East of England. Despite most classes being rowdy and generally unproductive, it somehow gets extremely good results.
CCHS girls typically spend at least half an hour every morning at the bus station or outside KEGS, where they get their only taste of boys.
There are many cliques within the years, and generally one "outsider" in the class, who make no effort to talk to, let alone make friends with anyone else in their class. There are often disputes within these cliques, and in this situation everyone in the class has to 'choose a side'. These arguments usually include a few people in tears, while others comfort them while bitching about the others.
Most girls in the school attempt to bend the uniform rules, however the teachers are especially harsh about the length of the skirts. Typically, a conversation between a teacher and a girl with an apparently short skirt (these teachers really want to go to Duke's if they want to see a short skirt) goes like this:
Teacher: Is that skirt rolled up?
Student: Ummmm, no.
Teacher: 3 infringements.
The rather queer method of lying about whether your skirt is rolled up or not is very popular at CCHS, however almost always fails.
At the beginning of a new year, all girls feel superior to the lower years. This leads to younger students feeling completely alienated. Stereotypes of the years include:
Year 7 - Huge blazer, skirt past knees, bag the size of Bancroft, awful haircut
Year 8 - Just discovered KEGS, pop socks, shorter skirt, too rowdy for their own good
Year 9 - Too cool for school, dragged away from the boys at discos by teachers, sometimes try smoking, stressed about IT GCSEs
Year 10 - Just don't care, really bad fake tans, stressed about exams, hated by most teachers
Year 11 - Oldest in uniform, very intimidating, shout at younger years if necessary
Year 12 - Sometimes get lost, which brings much amusements to others, very enthusiastic.
Year 13 - Never want to leave, no one ever wants them to leave.

Get the Chelmsford County High School For Girls mug.A county in Maryland in the DC metro area where you can have the CEO of a multi billion dollar company living in a super wealthy neighborhood 5 minutes from a construction worker living in a working class neighborhood. Areas like Potomac, Bethesda, Chevy Chase etc are extremely wealthy and if you happen to be normal middle class renting a house in one of those areas then I feel sorry for you because you will feel overwhelmed. Areas like Kensington, Germantown, Rockville etc are more standard middle class and areas like Wheaton and Silver Spring are on the lower middle class-lower class end. This doesn't say that there isn't someone living in Potomac who might be lower middle class somehow or that there aren't people in silver spring who are relatively affluent. Many kids though in the richer areas have a fucked view on things because they go to places like Wheaton and shit themselves when really I honestly think it's ok there because I moved to Moco 4 years ago and had spent my childhood in an apartment in a working class neighborhood. Anyway the county is very diverse and you will find everything here.
Potomac guy: I had such a hard day omg I went to Wheaton fucking ghetto holy shit it was scary af bro!!
Kensignton guy: your life is fucked. Fucking Montgomery County
