pigeons. Some people see them as the equivalent of rats because they spread disease and are found in great abundance in city centres getting under people's feet - see chavs, townies etc. See also flite for what they produce.

The Origins of Grove Rats, despite the negative stories created in the minds of haters, the real story is one of pride.
By the Spring of 1937, it looked like the country was finally recovering from the great depression. Production, profits, and wages had regained their 1929 levels. This is when the Grove grew into a town, and luckily this was done when things were looking up. The American economy took a sharp downturn in mid-1937, lasting for 13 months through most of 1938 and it wasn't until W.W.II that employment began to recover.
1937...that was the year that changed the Grove, from being just a rural farm crossroads, into a small town. The original Big World Store, the High School and the original Grove Theater were built within a few months of each other. This became the center of the community.
The local youth took pride in their community and just like a school adopts a mascot, they decided they would too. They fancied themselves a force to be reckoned with and adopted the moniker "Grove Rats", a strong, fearsome title.
The name stuck and was passed down through the generations. While subsequent generations tried to lay claim to its' invention, it clearly predated their arrival on this earth.
It has come to be a proud symbol for Pleasant Grove, in spite of attempts by haters to make it derogatory.
Standing Strong, Standing Proud, We are the Grove Rat!

Depending upon where you live, "rats with wings" are seagulls or pigeons. So named because of their scavenger natures.

Worse than a "Rat Bastard". This individual will be cordial and charming to your face, then instigate despicable acts against you behind your back. A lying, coniving piece of worthless humanity. The essence of immense evil.
Teacher #1: That school board president has been telling everyone that he runs this school, not the superintendent.
Teacher #2: Mr. Sellers told me the same thing, but kisses up to the superintendent in public.
Teacher #1: We need to get out of Pawhuska, he is a rat basturd!

Small, pointy, elongated boobs with soft nipples on women that are not supported or concealed by bras.
Kristen Cavallari's dramatic debut on The Hills was overshadowed by those rat noses that clearly gnawed her bra off.
