Art that tries to be highbrow, but really isn't. Status-seeking middle class people buy middlebrow work to display, not to enjoy. Writer Virginia Woolfe famously decried middlebrow as "a sticky slime of calves-foot jelly", though her work could be classified as middlebrow too. Still, as long as you actually read the books you buy instead of just using them to set of the furniture, who cares?
My family library is so middlebrow: all leather-bound editions of the Great Works. Still, I enjoyed looking at the pictures as a kid.

Get the Middlebrow mug.by echost April 25, 2021
Get the Middlebrow mug.also known as "diddleboro" the second largest town in Massachusetts located south of Boston.
Middleboro is home to the amateur football team the cobra's. an 8th grader that gets drunk and smokes weed every day. A teenager with 3 thumbs. The town pedophile. A naked man running around wielding a knife. A black kid wandering uptown bumming cigarettes. A punk that was once beat up by a girl; and a cheetah print loving, bmx riding, sex addict.
Fires are held once a week out in the sticks of south middleboro. During the summer the town hangout is the skate park located 100 yards from the police station. If you're hungry you can visit one of 3 pizza joints located in 100 feet of each other. If you need a new board you're shit out of luck because the towns skate shop got robbed and closed.
This town is filled with drugs and whores. If you're looking to score some pot and get laid; middleboro is the place to be.
There is a clash between hicks, hood rats and the skate park kids. There is quite a large number of heroin and perk addicts in this town. Cops are assholes and only 0.9 of the students in this town are african american. The average age for a girl to loose her virginity in this town is 12 years old.
If you live in middleboro your favorite past times are making fake facebooks, raising hell in McDonald's, smoking weed, drinking beer, having sex, talking shit, starting trouble, hanging out at cumbies and starting facebook drama.

Get the middleboro mug.Middlesbrough is a large Town in North East England and is one of the largest Urban areas in Europe without City status. Its has an Urban population of around 182,000 making it the second largest town/urban hub in the North East after Newcastle (190,000) and before Sunderland (177,000) (not so much a 'small town in Europe' anymore). However only 143,000 are located within the Borough of Middlesbrough who are actually governed by Mbro council which makes it the smallest district and Sunderland the Largest with 300,000.
Middlesbrough itself was established around 1830 and was officially incorporated in 1853. Traditionally in North Riding of Yorkshire, it was merged with Stockton, Thornaby, Eston district, Billingham and Lanbaurgh (Redcar) to form Teesside and later Cleveland County (including Hartlepool). It has some of the most stunning scenery in Europe set against the backdrop of an industrial powerhouse. It set the standrad for steel the world over and was the worlds leading area for steel and iron production. It gained the nickname 'Ironopolis' or City of Iron. Indeed Middlesbrough is responsible for the construction of many famous bridges, The Sydney Harbour bridge, Victoria Falls bridge, our own Transporter and Newport and even the symbol of Geordie pride, the Tyne bridgem was built in Middlesbrough. Famous people to spawn from middlesbrough were/are cpt. James Cook, Roy 'Chubby' Brown, Paul Daniels, Wilf Mannion, Brian Clough, Don Revvie, Chris Rea..... We also invented the Parmo (need I say more). The accent is unique and has become a modern Geordie and scouse although the stereotypical smoggie is a brash hardnut chav who drinks like a whale and swears like f***ing dunno what. All in all MINTAGE!!!

Get the Middlesbrough mug.Middletown Middle School is a school that has a lot of tea. The Messiest People always know everything. Where white people try to act black. Where every Girl has messed with the same guy. Where the MOST FIGHTS HAPPEN. Where everybody know everybody. Where People associate in there own group.

Get the Middletown Middle School mug.The prestigious honors dorm of the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. Middlebrook is basically a collection of frail, pale, sheltered midwest white kids, who, for some inexplicable reason, the University decided to place within a five minute walk of the Riverside projects. Muggings and other assorted petty crimes occur roughly once a week in the Middlebrook area, mostly due to the fact that half of all Middlebrook residents couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag.
The seventh floor of Middlebrook Hall seems to be home to the highest concentration of the aforementioned pale, frail, Midwestern white kids. It's a strange and fickle place, where up is down and awkward is normal.

Halloween was confusing. It was entirely unclear whether a given MIddlebrook resident was wearing a costume or if that was just their normal attire.

Get the Middlebrook mug.Describes the phenomenon whereby the female residents of Middlebrook Hall at the University of Minnesota have a tendency to be approximately one standard deviation less attractive than the rest of the campus. Additionally, there is a lack of awareness of this effect among those affected which leads to unattractive girls acquiring boys who would not otherwise be attracted to them. Applies to all floors not taken up by Arts students on the 11th and 12th floors. Exceptions are rumored to exist, but are as of yet unconfirmed.
Guy 1: Dude, I got with such a fine bitty last night.
Guy 2: No way man, we saw her and she was Middlebrook hot, you were so trashed.
