Get the Brightness mug.Related Words
A prep school located in the woods of Maine which offers competitive athletics and academics. Pussy is nonexistent at this school, and students rely on excessive masturbation or the sleazy lunch ladies to satisfy their sexual urges. Unfortunately, due to the absence of women, students contract an alarming disorder referred to as “BA Goggles.” Inflicted students disregard size, age, teeth, and overall attractiveness in their pursuit for local pussy.

Get the Broughton's Rules mug.A small pathetically deteriorating city in South Jersey and is considered the skid mark of Cumberland County. Normal people reluctantly drive through it to travel to more important cities the Garden State has to offer. It is composed of rednecks, wannabe gangsters, drug addicts, teen pregnancy, and your occasional college scholar who eventually moves out and never returns. While driving through the city please be careful for the natives tend to run in front of your car in the middle of the day either chasing after a ball or a female. Rotten collapsing structures, also known as historical sites are unpleasant to see and do not be surprised to see 10 or more underaged pregnant women with strollers carrying more children walking down one street. It is one of those cities where the only difference between a cop and a criminal is that a criminal makes more money... Illegal immigration and gang activity are considered hobbies and car insurance is encouraged for the possibility of a hit and run accident buy an intoxicated illegal motorist.....

Get the Brighten mug.One of my favourite places in the entire world. If your coming to the south Coast of England dont even bother visiting anywhere else. Vibrant city, quality restaurants and pubs, great clubs, one of the few places I dont feel paranoid walking about, like I'm about to get my head smashed in by some huge arrogant Lairy Stella drinking lad, as they all steer clear believing it to be 'full of fuckin queers innit'.
The reality is, whilst there is a high proportion of gays, (who incidently I have noticed never cause trouble, never brawl, never shout in the street and never litter) the place is actually crawling with local student beauties from the 3 major universities, and ladies from all round the country who come to escape the narrow-minded overtly hetrosexual, cultureless, burberry ridden, chav infested laddish shit holes like neighbouring portsmouth, bognor regis, southampton and (further away) Essex and shop at the millions of different boutiques and shops, very many of which are set up by the resident gay community.
The only criticism is that the average cost of going out in the city of Brighton now rivals the cost of a night out in London. Although one night out in Brighton will make all future nights in London seem like a bit of a stitch up.

"OMG, I've never seen so many fit women in my entire life? Where are we? Are we in Heaven? Oh no, we're in Brighton.'
'We went for a slap up meal, drank some quality wine at this architechtually spectacular winebar, spotted hundreds of fitties on the way out, went to an amazing club, we could've only gone to one place.'
'Quick everyone: go to Brighton. It's one of the few places that isnt completely infested with chavvy twats.'
