A city in Massachusetts known for poverty and violence. Most observers criticize these street-level phenomena, but institutional corruption dwarfs both, whether police/fire/school departments, public works, or the mayor and city council. While a thin crust of decent people keep the city from collapsing in on itself, Brockton has rightfully been used as a punch line in a Playboy cartoon (in the 70's, when they were very popular), movies (Coneheads, The Departed), and by dozens of authors (most notably the august Lewis Lapham).
Example? Don't dispute me, ever. I grew up in Brockton and could tell you things you simply wouldn't believe could happen in a city ten times the size. If you live there, get out as fast as possible. Your quality of life will increase dramatically.

A city south of Boston, bordering on Abington. Brockton is a ghetto. If you travel there, you will most likely be stabbed, or have your car stolen. It is a very metropolitan area, resembling Detroit, with a crime rate to match. Their slogan is the City of Champions.

Brockton is a nice city south of Boston with a suburban look. It is Not ghetto and its crime rate is slightly higher than the national average but not even close to other Massachusetts cities such as Springfield or Holyoke. Its poverty rate is slightly above the Massachusetts average but its not run down and boarded up like other communities. Brockton does not have an urbanish look like other cities its size in Massachusetts (ex Lowell, Chelsea) and is the twenty-seventh most densely populated . Few sketchy neighborhoods but most are nice family oriented. The last post tries to compare Brockton to Detroit. Detroit has 418 murders to 8 in Brockton. Detroit has 8000 robberies to 200 in Brockton.
Brockton was named one of the 100 Best Communities for Young People in the United States in 2005, 2008 and 2010.

A caring individual. With an insanely tiny penis. His penis is roughly 2 inches and not girthy. Besides all this he's actually very sexy and knows how to use it. The only downside is he uses it on his friends, not his girlfriend. He rko's his friends into bed and then goes to down. They even do role-playing of spiderman and green goblin.

This is a common drink in dive bars in Massachusetts, consisting of Dr. McGillicuddy's on the rocks in a plastic cup.
This is a reference to Brockton Mass, a hardscrabble town that has a fondness for bottom shelf liquor because it is cheap and effective.

Brockton Hub is a comical social network group supporting Brockton Massachusetts. It is full of citizens ranging from 30-70 years of age who are the self proclaimed "Brockton's Finest". Brockton Hub is a "hub" for prowlers who will post pictures of your house and heartless middle aged citizens. ie; "I don't care about them or their kids".
Although Brockton is home to one of the most respected high schools on the east coast, Brockton Hub members present their mediocre ideas with an unbelievable amount of spelling errors contained within grammatically incorrect sentence structure.
