protonostalgia

An emotion you feel when you are nostalgic for a time you were never alive in.
It is a proper subclass of nostalgia.

Protonostalgia is like when a chick is nostalgic for the time of pirates! Or, when a dude misses being a 16th century courtesan. It also happens when folks spend a lot of time wishing they could be Shakespeare's pal!
"Do you miss being a pirate? I miss being a pirate!"

Proctorville

A small town in southern Ohio that consists solely of a Kroger, McDonald's, and a Wendy's. The town is so small that citizens of Huntington WV (the town across the river) do not know where that huge bridge in their town goes. They just know there is a bridge.
When referring to said place, it is often easier to reference nearby landmarks such as Marshall University. It's not the same town, nor the same state but it's 5 miles away so people get the idea.

Also known as:
Proctor-Vegas
P-Ville
Butt-Ville

"So are you from Ohio?"
"Yeah I am from Proctorville."
"Where?"
"Ughh... you know that movie 'We Are Marshall'?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm from there."
"Oooohhh ok."
