A term used by residents of Perth, Western Australia to describe the phenomenon, often experienced by Perthians abroad, of Perthians not only managing (however improbably) to come across fellow Perthians overseas, but also of them always finding that these co-urbanites are either a) their relatives, b) their acquaintances, or (at the very least) c) people with whom they share multiple mutual friends on Facebook. This oft-described experience abroad (of "being/getting Perth'd") is the result of Perth being an oversized village, of everyone there having a desire and tendency to piss off abroad whenever they get the chance, and of the two degrees of separation that somehow exists for the city's residents.

Get the yellow penthouse mug.A word to describe those people that LOVE stationery. It is a portmanteau of 'pen' and 'enthusiast'. It is a pretty self-explanatory term: an enthusiast is person who is highly interested in a particular activity or subject and in the case of a penthusiast the subject is pens. And all their 'cousins'. (i.e. highlighters, erasers, hole-punchers, etc.)
Such people would move into an Officeworks store in the blink of an eye if given the chance.

Abby: So what are you getting Ursula for her birthday?
Mavis: I got Ursula this massive box of Crayola Crayons and some Derwent charcoal pencils.
Abby: ... Will she like those?
Mavis: Oh yeah! She's a total penthusiast. She could live in Officeworks! If you want her to fall in love with you forget sending chocolates and roses, send her post-its and blu-tac.

Get the pewt mug.A small town in Jeresy with a big reputation. What people don't understand is that it get's a bad rep because some people think that they could define Amboy and that's not the case. It's a great town where most people don't leave because it's all they know. With a over populated high school they still manage to have sucess stories everyday. Perth Amboy is and will always be known as "the Ghetto" but that's far from the truth, here is the truth.
Amboy is a great town to grow up but not a place where kids want to stay forver becuase they want to experience more, like every other human being. For a small town and over crowed population, the people definitly represent and most of the time are proud of where they came from because if they are something they could say they made it.
BIG UP TO PEOPLE FROM AMBOY...THAT WOULD BE MYSELF INCULED.
