Townie

Someone who often attends Buc Thursday in Tulsa, OK. Specifically, townies are the types of people who smoke cigs inside, play pool, and start bar fights. Kinda rough around the edges! Being a townie is something to kinda be proud of though. The Buc bouncers and bartenders will all know your name by the end of your four years at TU. If you are a real Buc townie, you will continue going to the Buc on non-Thursdays and after you graduate from TU.
Kenny: wow that guy nick goes to the Buc every Thursday! The bouncer didn’t even card him tonight.
Me: yeah! That’s because he is a real Buc townie!

Townie

In rural Canada, townie simply means an individual who grew up in a town, as opposed to someone who grew up in a thoroughly rural area. Townie has connotations of bourgeois. It indicates a cultural division. The townie would have all of the pretenses and trappings of those from large cities. He/she would be fully intent on attending University. Their music and fashion tastes would be cosmopolitan. Unlike their rural counterparts, they would NOT live to hunt deer and moose, go mudding, and make a sporadic living off of cutting firewood and informal mechanical repairs. There is a bit of disdain from rural folk for the townie, notably for the townie's lack of self-sufficiency. However, the townie often has respect for the rural lifestyle and is likely, at times, to affect it.
The guy's a townie. Doubt he's ever even run a thinnin' saw.

townie

At the end of the day it isnt what kind of music you listen to or what kind of clothes you wear.

If your walking down the street and somebody who just so happens to be wearing a burberry hat shouts comments at you, its not beacause they are a towny, because at the end of the day you have to realise that they are the worthless peices of shit not townie.

It'snot because they are a twony and thats what all you wet people out there have to understand. Bcause people listen to R and B, garage whatever doesnt mean that they are townies, or just beacuse they like nike and adidas and dont want to blow their money on real burberry so maybe all u lot shud get your facts right.
yeah theyare townies over there and those ppl are greebos

Townie

In the US, townies are a variety of resident of Massachusetts (which they will often refer to as “the Commonwealth” — e.g., “I couldn’t find an open packy in the whole Commonwealth”). Closely related to the “Masshole,” townies are often found in places like Revere and Chelmsford (only Wellesley is wholly townie-free). The townie is extremely proud of his Massachusetts parochialism and may not know that the Berkshires exist.

If the townie attends college at all, it is most likely the state college in his hometown (e.g., Bridgewatah State), which the townie will often refer to as “13th grade.” Despite the townie college experience involving being reunited with one’s high school chums, the townie will typically drop out mid-second semestah, whereupon he will most often pursue a life of “landscapin’ in the summah and snowplowin’ in the wintah,” often in pahtnahship with high school chums.

The townie hyperbolically enjoys Boston sports and vacations exclusively in Hyannis, which, despite its connections to the Kennedy family, is mostly strip malls and Super 8s.

Notable examples of townies include the entire Affleck family.

Townies have been depicted in media in “Beautiful Girls,” on “SNL” by J. Fallon and R. Dratch, and most famously in “Good Will Hunting,” the “Citizen Kane” of townieism (with Ben Affleck giving an Oscah-worthy performance as Ben Affleck).

Townies and Dunkin’ Donuts have a complex symbiotic relationship that Hahvuhd sociologists are still unable to explain.
My uncle once saw Whitey Bulger in the Dunky by the packy — the one that’s always filled with townies.”

Townie Brain

“Townie brain” is a condition in which someone thinks the entire world operates in the same way as the small town they grew up in. People with this affliction are often “townies”, and have never experienced life in any other place or perspective. Oftentimes they believe others have the same experiences as they do, or the same aspirations when in fact these people are boring and have little to no aspirations at all. Due to it’s regional nature, “townie brain” can be used to describe many different opinions and thought patterns.
Martha - “Um, I’m pretty sure most people don’t go to college after high school.”
Jane - “I’m pretty sure you just have townie brain.”

John - “What do you mean you can’t drive? Are you poor or something?

Brett - “You’ve got townie brain dude. I grew up in the city, we don’t need cars.”
