Arsehole of Scotland. Really IS a shithole. I know, I've had the misfortune to live there for the last 5 years.
Punctuated by a proudly melancholic people of stony face and hopeless demeanour. Narrow horizons are projected often through the assertion that they "wouldnae want to live onywhere else", having never ventured south of Dundee.
The city itself is entirely composed of grey, mildly radioactive rock from a local quarry. Often euphemised as "silver", it is important to assert that this is only a reference to the way in which the rock shines when wet from the ceaseless rain. The sun is seldom out without rain: earning an even more far-fetched euphemism of Aberdeen as: "the Rainbow city".

On becoming aware that an elderly woman was ill at ease with me, a male in my early twenties, standing at a bus stop in a rough area of Aberdeen, I seek to break the ice and put her at ease with some gentle conversation (We brits always make polite conversation about weather) :
Me: Day's looking better, was awfully grey this morning.
Old Woman: Fit? (It means "what" in Doric, a hilarious regional dialect of said shithole)
Me (Talking louder so the old dear could hear me): Terribly overcast this morning: but it's nicer now!
Old woman: Better overcast than sunny!
Me: Eh?
Old Woman: Terrible thing the sun. Gives ye cancer: the sun.(pronounced cOncer in doric...)
This "glass half-empty" approach to life is ubiquitous with the festering place. If misery could be bought the city would bankrupt itself.

Get the abercombie and fitch mug.A shithole of a town full of chavs, old people, pissheads and "Carnetown Barmy Army" whose trademark sign is the swastika.
Plenty to do here including:
Setting the forest on fire
Burning garages
Smashing up the football stand at the local team's pitch
Hanging around outside the corner shops asking people to buy you cigarettes if you are under 18
Going round the local pub to get pissed and make a tit of yourself
People tend to end up in trouble with the police a lot here. Someone was murdered by their husband with a hammer for "not cooking their dinner right".

Get the Abercynon mug.A tottaly awesome clothing store for people who actually have a sense of style and know a little bit about how to dress themselves,oh and how could I forget, people who know what's in and hott. Punks and goths claim that Abercrombie and Fitch is an overpriced "prep" store, but really are insecure about themselves. They all claim that Abercrombie is too expensive, when if you walk into Hot Topic and pick up a pair of black, baggy, chained jeans, you see that they cost just as much as a pair or Abercrombie jeans. Abercrombie and Fitch started out as a hunting, fishing, safari, camping,and outdoor store in New York City in the 1800's. It was originally Abercrombie, but eventually David Abercrombie partnered with a man named Ezra Fitch,a regular customer and lawyer, thus forming Abercrombie and Fitch. Over the years, Abercrombie and Fitch became one of the nations largest sporting goods suppliers, in fact, it even outfitted Charles Lindbergh for his historic flight across the Atlantic in 1927. In 1978, Abercrombie is bought by Oshman's sporting goods. In 1988 it was sold to another company,The Limited. By this time, it had become the Abercrombie that we know today, selling clothing. It became a dormant company for a few years and then was spun off from The Limited and became it's own company again, Abercrombie and Fitch. It made a come back and became popular nationwide. Today Abercrombie and Fitch owns several other clothing companies, Hollister Co.,Abercrombie(the kids version of Abercrombie and Fitch), and Ruehl 925, a small clothing store based in New York City's Greenwich village. It is slowly expanding into several other cities.
Today A&F has 363 Abercrombie and Fitch stores,176 Abercrombie stores,249 Hollister Co. stores, 4 Ruehl 925 stores, making a tottal of 792 tottal stores across 4 brands.
Soon it will be opening 3 more Ruehl 925 stores.

Get the Abercrombie and Fitch mug.The world's most popular clothier for young males who are gay, or thinking of becoming gay. Bruce Weber, the iconic gay commercial photographer and protegy of legendary subliminal master J.C. Leyendecker, even employs John Wayne's offspring (son and grandson) as erotic lures for the brand. No wonder every fratboy and fratboi is wearing the stuff. It's hard to belive the company that today mainstreams playful homosexual escapism to white middle American mall and gym rats started out as a sporting goods store famous for selling rugged outdoor escapism to rich white paunchy middle-aged American power players. Teddy Roosevelt outfitted his safaris with A&F gear, and Hemingway may have even bought the gun he blew himself away with from them. Now the only guns featured in the catalogs are those that get blown during rush week.
I found a musty old Abercrombie and Fitch sporting goods catalog in my grandfather's rolltop desk. It was carefully placed underneath a tin box full of hand-tied flys and next to a "Popular Mechanics" issue featuring a clean cut, crew-cut youth on the cover showing off his rather large model rocket.

Get the Abercrombie and Fitch mug.A place where people (mainly the teen crowd) shop for clothes and stuff. Basically everyone on the planet shop there so usually you'll see a whole bunch of them sporting the exact same outfit. I say, why pay so much money to look exactly alike?
Note, I do not hate Abercrombie and Fitch because I can't afford it, oh no, I've bought jeans for twice the amount in places like Nordstrom's, BCBG, and bebe. I am also not fat, I'm a size 3. I dispise it because the people who shop there {well not ALL per sé) lack originality.
Seriously, if you're going to spend 85 bucks on jeans, why the heck would you apend it on a pair that like every other girl in America has?? Abercrombie is also selling sex which is disgusting especially since they have a younger fan base. If you don't believe me go ahead and type in Abercrombie & Fitch on google. Like they also have thongs for 7 year-olds! What the heck!?
I hate Abercrombie with a passion, and all those girls who think they're better than everybody else or richer just because they shop there need to be smacked.
