Person who never left town and still tends to have the same life they had during high school, except they are now attending the town's community college for more than two years and counting. Tend to have low self esteem and are highly critical of anyone who did leave town.

Get the Towniemug. 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.

Get the Towniemug. “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.”
