In rural Canada, townie simply means an individual who grew up in a town, as opposed to someone who grew up in a thoroughly rural area. Townie has connotations of bourgeois. It indicates a cultural division. The townie would have all of the pretenses and trappings of those from large cities. He/she would be fully intent on attending University. Their music and fashion tastes would be cosmopolitan. Unlike their rural counterparts, they would NOT live to hunt deer and moose, go mudding, and make a sporadic living off of cutting firewood and informal mechanical repairs. There is a bit of disdain from rural folk for the townie, notably for the townie's lack of self-sufficiency. However, the townie often has respect for the rural lifestyle and is likely, at times, to affect it.
The guy's a townie. Doubt he's evereven run a thinnin' saw.
A person who lives in the same community their entire life or the vast majority of their life. Generally, refers to individuals who reside in a smaller city or the suburbs.
Someone who often attends Buc Thursday in Tulsa, OK. Specifically, townies are the types of people who smoke cigs inside, play pool, and start bar fights. Kinda rough around the edges! Being a townie is something to kinda be proud of though. The Buc bouncers and bartenders will all know your name by the end of your four years at TU. If you are a real Buc townie, you will continue going to the Buc on non-Thursdays and after you graduate from TU.
Kenny: wow that guy nick goes to the Buc every Thursday! The bouncer didn’t even card him tonight.
Me: yeah! That’s because he is a real Buc townie!
