One Horse Town

This is the name given to describe a small town with high unemployment. These towns are said to be very common in Wales, but are also found in Ireland, and Scotland where education is very limited.
Also a name given to a town that has a small population.

Steve: Since I moved here from the city I am begining to see that everyone is stupid, there are no jobs, and guys are marrying their own sisters, whats that all about?
Colin: This place is backwards, these people don't know any different. This is a "One Horse Town".
Steve:, Yeah, you are right, but the problem is everyone thinks they are the jockey.

One horse town

There's no such thing as a one horse town any more than there is such a thing as a one fish pond.

This town you're calling a one horse town and are claiming to be the one horse in isn't that at all dork, and that's coming from someone that unlike you is actually from the town originally. For those of us originally from the town, the fight against you, even if it's just me fighting, isn't about superiority or finding out who's better than who, it is about home for me as it is for them. Nobody but you cares about a stupid fucking battle for superiority which is why nobody wants you around.

One horse town

What a pretentious person calls a town.

There are no horses in this town except the ones behind fences. This is not your one horse town, you don't own the place because you're not even from here originally.
