most of you obviously don't live on the main line because almost none of the people here are jewish. the majority of the main line is catholics. the main line is a suburb located out of philadelphia, and yes, most people are very rich. only about 60 or 70 percent, though. while the main line is mostly preppy people who are very rich, it is also very diverse. not everyone drives a jaguar. i don't care what everyone's stereotypes about it is, but i know for a fact it's got a whole different group of people. i have lived here since i was born. yeah, we have the second biggest mall in america, and yeah, there are a lot of starbucks, and yeah, about half of the residents are total preps, but a lot of them are really down-to-earth and/or middle class. i don't know what your big 'idea' about this place is, but it's not what you think it is. we don't all drive our big, fancy cars. not all of us shop at designer stores. unless you've actually been here and lived here for all your live, your conception about the main line and everybody living here is very, very wrong.
yeah, i live on the main line, but i'm not rich.

main screen turn on 

All your base will belong to us...
An order from a vidio game space-ship captian to turn on the main screen to see Katz, a robotic evil dude, make even worse grammatical errors.
McMillin Japanese translational services REALLY fuked up this time...
"Let's go watch that movie...Main Screen turn on! Launch all ZIG!"

Main Bitch 

A 'Main Bitch' is the person ( female ) that is most present in a music video but isn't one of the main singers / vocalists. But she is the only woman to sing a verse or two in the music video. This usually indicates that she is also having sex with the male who is the main singer / vocalist.
hey! Have you seen that Main Bitch in those 'Little Big' videos?

Main Character Syndrome

That’s what your entire interpretation of the Bible is tainted by.
Hym “Main Character Syndrome. The idea that you are the protagonist of the story or that you should be the main character. Is that how you’re acting? And that’s what I mean about ‘Only telling half the story.’ Because you’re not just the person who nobly endures the suffering at the hands of the mob. You’re not just the person who’s called forth to adventure. You’re the mob that demands God’s angels be given to them. You’re the horde that rends Jesus asunder. The tyrant the needs to be taught a lesson by having his kid slaughtered. I mean... are your REALLY the Abraham? Are you REALLY emulating Christ? Or are you just acting?”
The main line is a collection of suburbs containing of douche bags that THINK (and only think) that they are better than the rest of the world, and they like to flaunt it all the time. They pop their collars, don their Gucci, and D&G, shop at Banana and J. Crew full price, and love to repeatedly use the word BEST in their sentences. (aka "ACME bakery makes the BEST cookies in the world" or "WaWa is the BEST place to go get a hoagie at midnight" or "Going to Ocean City is the BEST time ever") It's just so sad that main liners heads are so far up their asses that they all can't even see straight. There is more to life than looking good and flaunting where you life...you're not the only douche bags who live in wealthy suburbs, ya know?

Most inhabitants are "old money" (aka Grandpas who made their fortune and moved to PA). All the others, like people that live in Paoli, Wayne, or Berwyn, etc. are all either living off of there old relatives' fortunes or pretending to be what they're not. Some live in big houses and that's all they can afford; others choose more modest living quarters so they can survive financially. Either way, they ALL can say that they live on the "main line," and that's really all that matters to them, in their egotistical, superficial minds.
Main liners use the words "main line" as an adjective! (aka "Suzy is sooo main line.") Amazing isn't it?

Statistically, I grew up in the wealthiest zip code in the country, 60010. However, I don't brag or flaunt that because if I did, well, let's face it I'd be a douche bag. And I'm not a douche bag. Main liners....are douche bags. so sad.

A person says "main man," especially so others may hear, to insinuate that they have a number of friends; the target of "main man" is just one of many friends that this person has. When a person resorts to saying "main man" outloud, he or she wants the world to know that he/she has many friends other than the target of "main man," so often the person who says "main man" may have insecurities or personality traits that result in him/her not having many friends.
The homeless person, who does not have many friends, said "main man" to me to suggest that I was just one of his many friends.
