South Boston is a ghetto hood where Irish gang members have ruled the streets for centuries. Housing projects, drug dealers, and homicides are a usual sight in southie.
SouthBoston is the poorest urban area where over 75% of the residents are white.
It's an odd mixture of ghetto, redneck, middle-class conservatism. The poverty level is through the roof and ignorance runs rampant. The only good thing is that the cost of living in extremely low, that's about it.
The act of giving and/or receiving a kick in the groin before having lit firecracker thrown down your pants by a guy probably named "Shawn" wearing a Bruins jersey who runs off with his skullcrushers brown bag yelling "GO SOX!".
"I got a South Boston Handshake. Mangled my downstairs up like a chicken pot pie."
"So....good trip to Beantown?"
Small town where everyone knows everyone. An all around wonderful place to grow up, where one never sees absolute poverty or extradornary wealth. It is where one has a past, present, and furture with friends and family. A place where it is common to have known someone since birth, and go from the preschool thru college with someone.
A small town in the middle of no where that does not welcome everyone as they claim to. If you are not from here you are an outsider.
They are some of the poorest people I have ever seen; some live without running water or electricity. So don't let anyone tell you there isn't poverty or extreme wealth, b/c I've seen that too.
If you aren't from South Boston, VA, then don't bother. I wish I never did and now I am stuck!
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.
Term used to describe someone who is a mix of both rural (country) and urban (metropolitan) lifestyles/upbringings. He/she is typically equally comfortable in both settings and is able to seamlessly slip back and forth between the two, appreciating the characteristics of each.
That ol' gal of mine drives the 12 lane freeway during the week and a John Deere on the weekends. She likes opra and the Grand Ol' Opry. I love them countrypolitan women.
