An area south of Auckland City in New Zealand, most commonly referring to the grouping of areas Onehunga, Mangere, Otahuhu, Papatoetoe, Otara, Manukau, Manurewa, Takanini and Papakura.
It's population consists mainly of Maori/Polynesians, followed by Asians and Europeans.
A largely impoverished area due to the lack of quality education and abundance of low paying/low skill labour.
South Auckland is often looked down upon by outsiders, often sighted as being 'Violent, Poor and Crime-ridden'. This image is often perpetuated by Media outlets as whenever a crime would occur, media outlets would use the term 'South Auckland' to describe the area the crime was committed instead of the specific area/suburb that the crime took place.
Although there may be some truth to what is said negatively about South Auckland, what is often overlooked is the thriving culture that presides there. The culture of South Auckland is largely inspired traditional Maori/Polynesian culture, as well as African American culture in America. This is largely due to the influence that the Black Panther movement, and subsequently the Polynesian Panther Movement, had on young Maori and Polynesians in the 1970's.
In recent years, many denizens of 'South Auckland' proudly proclaim where they are from despite the unfortunate stereotypes and negative connotations that have been associated with the area for the past 50 years.

Get the South Aucklandmug. A city in north central Indiana that is the economic and cultural hub for the Michiana region. It is also the home of The University of Notre Dame.

Get the South Bendmug. I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so, because some... people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education in South Africa and the Iraq, like, such as...

Get the south africamug. The other high school in Glen Ellyn besides Glenbard West.
Way uglier than Glenbard West. The 'tower' has no windows.
Lights were added to the football field in 2000, and a few years after that, a new auditorium was built, complete with orchestra pit.
Had a very good cross - country and math team a few years ago.
More intellectual and less drugged/stuck up than our Crescent Bvld. counterpart.
Conveniently located diagonal from a 7-11 at Park and Butterfield.

I was in the bottom third of my class even though my GPA was a B. That's what happens when you go to a competitive school like Glenbard South.

Get the Glenbard Southmug. A mythical "place" were folks haven't or won't take it in the "south". Virgins to, or haters of anal sex.

Get the South Virginiamug. A rather unfunny show that has a vocal and rabid fanbase who proclaim that this show is the ultimate Godsend in western animation. They claim the show's touch on subjects like social, political, and cultural issues in their satire and how crude and crass the humor can be is like the pinnacle of comedy and adult animation.
When in reality it is just a show with 10-year-old kids cussing and using potty humor (i.e. sapient turd) and using wacky ideas for their form of "humor". The show's creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone admittingly do have so ingenious ways of telling jokes (i.e. Book of Mormon) and the first few seasons of SP did have surprisingly deep topics in the late 90s and early 2000s, the last 5 seasons in this decade have become a shadow of its former self. And this is coming from a former hardcore fan who religiously watched seasons 1-17.
I've come to realize that some of the humor hasn't aged well because let's be honest, children cussing and using toilet humor is something for virgin 14-year-old edgelords who think they are all cool and shit. It is no longer a shocking and revolutionary thing anymore. I've also noticed that moral guardians and public officials don't freak out over it as they used to in the late 90s, the public has grown used to SP's shenanigans that you've realized that the show's only legacy is the amount of shock and controversy it had in its heyday rather than the show's own merit (if they had one, to begin with).

A typical South Park episode:
Kyle: I love swiss cheese
Cartman: STFU you filthy jew! Jews can't like swiss cheese!
Kenny: Mrrrbbflffkflkdlfkfld
Stan: I am the main character of the show and I don't know what to say in this situation. Oh well, fuck shit cunt tits fart shit mcnuggets!

Get the South Parkmug. The worst, most overrated retarded show ever made. Trey and Matt are talentless smug arrogant douchebag hacks who steal jokes to put in their unfunny show (which is more unfunny than garbage like The Simpson’s) which is a mistake to fucking society with their stupid fucking waste of semen fans
Retarded fan: SOUTH PARK IS SO FUNNY AMIRITE
Normal person: No because I’m not a stupid fucking loser with no friends who thinks a fat kid saying Jew for the 282838383838th time is funny, fucking low life
