(American definition, noun) Derogatory slang term that generally refers to someone who lives locally to a town, usually uttered by someone who does not. The implication is that the outside party is superior to the local populace, who are seen as inferior because of the negative stigma attached to the local environment they live in.

Most commonly used in rural college towns, where a large cultural gap exists between the students that attend and the local populace that simply happen to live there.

Townie can also be used as an adjective in the expected ways (A bar that is popular with the locals, for example, could be referred to as a "townie bar").
"I had some townie try to start a fight with me at the bar last night. I'm getting sick of these redneck locals..."

a townie is someone who has no mind of their own and follows whatever trends happen to be most common at the time. they will always have disgustingly obviously fake, cheap-looking dyed "blonde" hair with about 2+ inches of d-a-r-k roots and will never (hell forbid!) be seen wearing black(!) clothing and hate anyone with a mind of their own (no wonder they haye shopping trolleys) townies are incredibly vain too, they spend forever infront of a mirror piling on fake tan and makeup, and gawping lovingly at themselves. they also wear painfully small, tight clothing and are constantly "getting off" wit heach other.
i was outside mcdonalds and i walked by this disgusting barbie (?) pink car and a townie was hanging out the window with the roof down and she had about 20 mirrors aimed on herself trying to gaze at herself from every angle when i walked by she gave this annoyingly fake, high giggle "tee-hee oh look bethie! its a gothic person! tee-hee!" then she wend back to heaping on makeup and gazing at herself.

A walking waste of skin who excels only in making me and society feel violently ill and disgusted at the mere sight of one and who's only purpose in this world is to make me hate it even more.

Nuff Said.
Townie: Fuckin' dotty gweb
Me: Fuck you.
Townie: You bein' fuckin cheekeh?
Me: Yes, now go away.
Townie: YA FUCKIN' STAR'IN?!
Me: Not really no.
*Scum hits me*
*I hit Scum back*
Townie: What da fuuuuuuck
*Scum runs off like a disabled monkey, probably to go crying to his 'Big Brufa' or his 'Cru'*

Pathetic.

Townie girls have very pale often scaby skin. Hair is pulled back into very very tight bun (see bunhead) or pony tail. Very very aggressive in packs and will not bear to be glanced at by non-townies. Marginalised members of society who take their aggression out on others. Constantly angry at everyone and probably themselves. Really bad diets of KFC and fanta hence skin conditions.
One townie to ordinary member of the public engaged in the art of conversation "Wot ya chattin' abah?"

"jafake-ans"
usually full of racist bullshit, which is pretty ironic when the people they idolise are black.
The funniest example i can think of about the utter lack of imagination these joblessbrainlesshomophobicracistbastards have is about a girl i know walking down the street when some townie knob comes along on his crappy little "look at me im so 'ard, off the back off a lorry 'BMX' bike" and kicks out at her as he passes,generally acting like a shit, Anyway, this girl shouts "gets some Stabilisers u ignorant shit!" (which i thought was fair), and (this is what made me laugh) the boy shouts out "STABILISE YO MUM!". HAHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHhahahahahahHHAHAHHhhhahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

A person who enjoys hanging round in small-large groups on street corners and ask for 20p 'to use the phone box' or 'to get home' (despite it being popular knowledge that they live a few yards away). They often cease their actions if you outsmart them by calling them words like 'torglodite' in which case they simply say 'aw brass' and walk off.
Typical townie - grunger convo:

Townie: Eh wot come 'ere
Grunger:.....
Townie Ah blad set me 20p to use the phone box
Grunger: i dont have 20p
Townie: i KNOW u got papes, jump up and down blad.
Grunger: .....
Townie: ehhhhhhh brass wot phones u got?
Grunger: walks off muttering 'shut the f*ck up
