The second-largest city in Illinois, Rockford serves as host to all the negative characteristics of a big city without the benefits. Overwhelmed by crime, drug addicts, and terrible schools, Rockford is surrounded by "podunk" towns and "the boonies" that mooch off the local mall and movie theatres. Rockford has nearly 7 exits off of major highways and has 3 walmarts, considered quite an midwestern accomplishment. Also the self-declared "screw capital" of the world, Rockford doesn't have much to look forward to other than failing factories and a dying reputation. Rockford is the biggest "small town" you will ever experience.

Get the Rockford, Illinois mug.Usually refers to a private investigator, but describes anyone that uses some type of sophisticated equipment to peer into an unsuspecting individual's or family's home.
When I discovered the hidden surveillance cameras in my home, I felt somewhat violated, and realized that I might have fallen victim to a peeping Rockford.

Get the peeping Rockford mug.Related Words
Craptastic city in northern Illinois. Only slightly less godawful than Freeport (only because of its size). Rockford is home to a million boarded up victorian mansions doomed to rot. It's home to a buttload of broke-ass niggas angrily wanderin' the streets. It's home to a gaggle of cantankerous crackas wearing sleaveless shirts that say "Git R Done." It's home to not one but two cruddy wal marts, each featuring an assortment of side-show freak customers that must be seen to be believed. You always get a bizarre show when you visit Rockford, but it's not necessarily a show you want to see.
Rockford. It's like Freeport but bigger, and with a bigger cracka population. Sucks mightily.

Get the rockford, illinois mug.A huge shithole in Northern Illinois. Somehow is considered a suburb of Chicago but is 4 hours away. You can go swimming in the Rock River and solve 90 missing persons cases simultaneously. There’s nothing to do there besides smoke weed, kill people, and rob stores due to there being no jobs. It’s common nickname is Glockford. It’s one of the most dangerous cities in America, & it raises a bunch of shitheads. But everyone who lives here loves it despite its faults. Don’t move here though.
