A boring small town in Wisconsin. If you find yourself in Greendale and you're not looking to buy a $8 burger or other over priced novelties from "the village" then you probably got lost on your way to Milwaukee. 90% of the people living there are either rich plastic families or retired old couples. If you're not one of the 2 you'll probably have a run in with one of the many cops with nothing better to do.
Person 1: Where are we and why is everyone driving an SUV and smiling

Person 2: I don't know, we gotta get out of here, why do all these streets start with the same letter???????

Person 3: Turn around now, we're in Greendale

Greendale Secondary School

Greendale Secondary School

Greendale Secondary School is the one of the better schools in its neighbourhood, it is of higher standard than Edgefield Secondary School and Punggol Secondary school. While budget can be questionable but thats normal for a new school, the behaviour of the students far exceeds Edgefield or Punggol Sec. Not as much xmm and the yps are defintely toned down. Teachers are also decent and care for their students. While Greendale is not perfect, students are defintely proud to call it their second home. (I've seen some negative reviews abt Edgefield in the urban dictionary, so i decided to give Greendale some love)

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
