Get the Mexican Town mug.A section of the city of Woodstock, Ga. Most people that reside in Towne Lake consider themselves to be above everyone else, though in reality, they are simply snobby assholes only pretending to be rich.

Get the The King of Town mug.Excerpt on History from Southwest Daily News and historian:
“
ORIGIN: Oscar and Corrina Elender Portie married in 1884 and lived in Hackberry until Oscar died. Corrina moved to Sulphur in 1902 with her eight children. In 1908 Corrina moved her children to a home built for the family on what is now Crocker Street. Many of her children (Sim; Mag, then married to Amar Granger; Jake; Jeff) and Corrina’s brother, Simon Elender all built homes within a couple of blocks of one another. This area became known as “Portie Town,” encompassing the area of Sulphur north of West Burton St. and west of North Huntington St. (the old city hall). HISTORY: It has a proud history of hard working families, starting with the Portie’s. George Simeon Portie, Sr.’s old homestead is the patch of woods directly across the street from Jake Drost School for Exceptional Children. The land where LeBlanc Middle School and Jake Drost are located was donated by the family to the community for the schools. “There’s been a lot of negative things said about Portie Town, but I’d like people to know that George Simeon Portie, Sr., my grandfather, was the oldest of Corrina’s children and went to work at the Sulphur Mines to support a fatherless family. He bought property as he could and the area became known as Portie Town,” said Judye Portie Foy of Sulphur, the Portie family historian, so to speak

Get the Poche town mug.When you are generalized for the town you live in and not for your actual circumstances. Usually very annoying for people who get generalized this way. A lower middle class person may be just able to afford a small apartment or house in a rather affluent area and then they get generalized as rich. Or a rich kid may live in a decent neighborhood of what is considered a bad area. These rich kids usually use this to make themselves seem hard or ghetto while the kids with the opposite problem are tired of the generalizations.
Wealthy kids who happen to live in okay areas of Mount Vernon, parts of the Bronx, Queens or Brooklyn are seen as hood but a kid who lives in a one bedroom apartment with his whole family who just happens to live in some wealthier town in Westchester of Long Island is considered soft. town generalization sucks
