Greenwich

I have read many definitions of Greenwich, CT, but none seem to be accurate. Yes, there are a couple people who wear polos all the time, but for the most part, people wear whatever they want. True, we do have our "greenwich slang" but we don't use it all the time like some of the examples in other peoples definitions. Greenwich is a small town in CT and is comfortably close to New York City. If someone wanted to go to NY they could just take the train that is located at the bottom of Greenwich Ave. The best spot to hang out in in Greenwich is Greenwich Avenue, also called "the ave". Over all, sure Greenwich does have some snobs, but honestly, what town doesn't? Greenwich is a great place to live and I'm very happy to have that privilege. Greenwich is an amazing place to live, and it really does have the best parties!

Kate: Hey, Ana, wanna go to Greenwich ave later?

Ana: I'd love to Kate!

Kate: Kay, let's call the others and we can all hang out!

greenwich

most people who write definitions for greenwich dont even live here so stfu cause i do. people here dont wear lacoste or polo shirts or preppy clothes with collars like wtf what kind of style is that? i havent seen anyone with coach flats all year round, it doesnt matter if your hair is parted in the middle, and you will not be discriminated against society if you dont wear polos or have prada shoes. lots of people here shop in cheap stores like marshalls and stores where everything is a lower price. most people here arent filthy rich and live in normal sized houses. yes lots of stuff might be overpriced but that does not mean we can all afford it. people dont go to parties everyday, most people actually work for their money. i dont see tons of sports cars driving around on the streets and girls dont go around shopping all day on the avenue. i know that we might live better than other people but that doesn't mean that we are filthy snotty preppy stuck-up people who have no idea what the outside world is like. most people here are nice and if they are mean its not because they are rich. and people who are rich worked for their money they didnt just get it somehow. the stereotypes of greenwich really are hilarious. if you want to know what it is really like, not something out of a movie where everything is perfect and all the people are preppy and filthy rich, stop making up lies just come here and visit it yourself.

All of the greenwich stereotypes are not true.

greenwich

A town in Connecticut in which every body has mad money. there is swilling weekly at the amazing house parties in back country mansions. The cheapest houses are in the high hundred thousands. The most expensive are in back country or bell haven, the homes are about thirty million. Greenwich has more money than the other wealthy Connecticut towns such as Darien or New Cannan. The kids how ever aren't snobs at all, they just tend to flaunt they are from Greenwich. They don't need to say where they are from for people to know they are rich. on lookers can tell by the polo shirts, LV bags, and many more over priced... but must have items. Greenwich is tooo hottt to handle, but its where EVERYONE wants to live. I mean millionaire kids think they are poor if they dont live in back country..... GOTTA LOVE IT

a poor girls nightmare, an average girls dream, a rich girls domain..... greenwich

grenactics

The art or act of skillfully fraggin one’s opponent with the use of grenades or other compact explosive devices that are thrown by hand or projected such as grenade launchers , pipe bombs , plasma grenades, etc.

The term originated during a Quake 2 deathmatch.

It is short for grenade tactics.

The way the grenade bounced off the wall and entered the gap in the opposite wall to make the kill demonstrates the use of grenactics.

greenwich, CT is one of the wealthiest towns in the United States, but as a person who lives in greenwich, most of these definitions are skewed and presumptuous. I don't sail, play lacrosse, wear polo's or lacoste. I am not white,and although I am the minority there is a lot of us in Greenwich, at least 90+ Argentine families, which is where i am from. There definately is the preppy group but to tell you the truth it isnt the majority of the people. While there is a lot of drug addicts and drunks in greenwich the amount of people who smoke between classes (in a school of 3,000 kids) is less than 50, and i personally have never smoked. I just wanted to give people a different view from all the ones that i have been reading which are mainly assumptions and stereotypes. The descriptions other people wrote are true in some ways but still, to a much lesser extent.

Greenwich is a town people assume is soemthing it really isnt

There's a lot of stereotypes on here about this town. It's hard to tell if they're being tongue-in-cheek or what. But lemme tell you, not everyone from the greenwich area is rich and overprivileged. Cos Cob, Byram, Riverside, etc. aren't exactly super fancy. Don't get me wrong, they are good areas, but not everyone in greenwich grew up in mansions. I've worked since I was 15, and that was the way it was if I wanted anything of my own, like a car or $$ to hang out. I didnt go to private school or an Ivy league college. Hell, there's even projects in Byram. Are they as scary as ones in big cities? No, of course not, but it goes to show, there are parts of this town that aren't yacht clubs and shopping boutiques. It makes me mad when i tell people where i grew up and they assume i'm a trust-fund kid. My parents immigrated to the USA and ended up in Cos Cob by chance. They didn't come from $$ they just lucked out on a cheap living situation. I moved out years ago and live in a neighborhood with normal, working class people, thank god. Snobbery does exist in a lot of greenwich, but not EVERYONE is a popped-collar, yacht-clubbing blueblood. I also haven't lived there in almost 20 years, so things were a little different when I grew up.

Greenwich is somewhere I would never, ever raise a kid, live or even hang out in, ever.

Greenwich

A small town in Connecticut. Everyone is so stereotypical of this town, and seriously, 1 out of 25 people is actually "typical greenwich." Sure, maybe the people who live here like nice things, but we can't help the way we're brought up. And the whole town is not full of "McMansions," it actually has normal houses. And the people here are normal too. Reading the other things on this website about Greenwich made me want to hurt someone. That is so not okay to write about someones home town. I have lived here my whole life, and I can honestly say I love it, and I AM pretty down to Earth. So stop being so rude, and stop being so hypocritical. You make me want to cry when you say those things. Honestly, NOT OKAY AT ALL.

Where do you live?
I live in Greenwich, Ct.
Oh, so you're a brat?
NOT. AT. ALL.
Oh, well you're a really cool person and not what I thought someone from Greenwich would be at all!
