Main Line

The term “Main Line” comes from the R5 line that runs through three counties from outside of Philadelphia, running parallel to Rt. 30. Many stereotypes about the ML are true, to a certain extent. It is a generally affluent and posh area mostly populated with Catholics, not WASP’s or Jewish families. There is a good amount of "old money”, but many people are able to afford such privileged living because of their jobs in Philadelphia or as entrepreneurs because of the popularity of the area. The ML also contains numerous very expensive High Schools, such as The Haverford School, Malvern Prep, and Agnes Irwin, whose tuition is over $20,000 per year. Teenagers do not commonly drive sports cars wearing collared shirts and board shorts. While the cost of living in the ML is high, the style of living is relatively normative, except for Radnor Township, the most expensive, very conservative, and least diverse area that would not suit any non Irish-Catholic family. Nowhere near every resident of the ML belongs to Country Club or owns a summer home in Avalon (think about it, that's way too many people). I am as "Main Line" as it geographically (I can hear the R5 train from my house), and I cannot attest to these stereotypes: I don’t belong to a Country Club or own a beach house or rent in Avalon; my family owns two Hondas and I wear sweatpants mostly. My neighborhood is religiously, politically, and racially diverse and most people could fit in perfectly.

I live in the Main Line. I take the R5 into work every day. I am married with three children who go to Malvern. I own two cars and I am an Irish Catholic from Bryn Mawr.

dps mains

Basement dwelling pieces of garbage who talk shit to mercy mains and support players for being skilless but are the same people who spam x and never pay attention to their surroundings because of their lack of game awareness. They cry on forums and demand nerfs for mercy and the other support heroes because god forbid support characters are nothing less than punching bags. These stupid motherfuckers don't understand that they could not rank up without a support main on their team in every game they played.

Those fucking dps mains keep saying I can't play healer correctly when their top 10 most played heroes are all offense and defense heroes

Main Line

I live on the main line and im not a spoiled little bitch that only hangs out with other spoiled little bitches. A majority of the people here might go to a private school, but that is because its by choice, most of them, if they wanted to they would be able to go to a public school. Not everyone has a house in avalon, and most people go with there friends who do. And no one looks down at people who dont have as much as they do, honestly most people dont give a shit how much money there friends parents make. Also no one wears polo shirts around, most of the kids wear it to school because its part of their uniform

The main line is awesome and people know it, they just dont want to admit it.

Shooting up through the main veins in your arms.

It's lame that you can't main line that shit and you have to use your hand instead. Maybe you should take a break for a while.

Maine Coast Semester

An amazing experience where a group of students (38 for example) learn with their minds, hearts, and hands and find their ways through life together.

MCS was an amazing four months and I miss it very much.

pirates of the spanish main

A pointless high school sorority located in the southeastern region of the state of georgia. It is basically a group of catty, slutty, dumb high school girls who do nothing but party, get drunk, sleep around, get pregnant, and talk shit about other members behind their back due to being insecure about their own issues. They claim to be all "goody two shoes" and to help out the community. But this is all bullshit. Rush week for the pirates involves a series of stupid themed days in which the girls stuff their fat thighs into Winnie the Pooh halloween costumes that no longer fit from 4th grade (and yes they look like fucking retards). Of course they never include outsiders. Its always the doctor's children, the wealthy sea islanders, and the stuck up southern dance addicts who always make the cut. If you are an outsider from the north you might as well forget it. No way are you getting in. But then again, why would you want to be apart of this criticizing and self esteem bashing group of hoes anyway?

Anna- "Hey Jessica, wanna rush for pirates of the spanish main."

Jessica- "I'd rather gouge my eyes out"

main line

The main line is a place where there are tons of rich ass kids riding around in whatever car they want. whether it is the new BMW or Mercedes or maybe it's the mustang or STI. Merion Golf Club and Philly Country Club are the two most prestigious clubs and consist of nearly 100% WASPS. radnor valley is the country club that the jews like to hold onto because they wouldn't get accepted at either of the previous two. Malvern Prep, The Haverford School, Baldwin, Agnes Irwin, Shipley, Radnor, and Lower Merion are the preppiest schools around and are filled with very many rich kids. "nantucket" or "bermuda" red shorts are all over during the summers and no one would think about going out without a collared shirt on. if you don't wear J Crew, Abercrombie, American Eagle, or whatever else you aren't likely to fit in with the stereotypical mainliner.
Just like in all places there are exceptions and not EVERYONE is rich and snobbish like that; however, it is fairly prominent and behind every stereotype there is truth.

Let's go to the mall, get some starbucks, get fucked up, then tomorrow morning we'll go to my shore house in avalon or nantucket for the weekend. god i love the main line.
