Torrance is the shitttt. she is an amazing, beautiful, intelligent, unique, and interesting girl. Torrance is a sweetheart. she is awesome at everything she does. Torrance may seem shy at times, especially if she likes you, but once she gets to know you, you'll see what a gorgeous girl she is, inside and out. she loves music, and can really sing too. Torrance is athletic. she's into any kind of sports. she also adores everything from puppies to the ocean and you, if you treat her right. everyone wants to be Torrance. all the girls are jealous of her and all the guys want her. mess with her or her friends and she'll kick your ass. go ahead, talk shit about her. she doesn't care, she already knows she's better than you. if you ever meet a Torrance, treat her right because you don't want to lose her.
"Hey did you see that girl walking down the street?"
"Yeah she was soo pretty, she looked perfect!"
"Then her name must be Torrance!"

Worst part of LA... in 1970
Kinda regained that name... in 1990
Nowadays it's a gentrified suburb where some people stayed when their varrio turned into a regular ass neighborhood, was a genuinely bad place to live in for a while and all the little neighborhoods had their slang names and shit, and all of that culture specific to Torrance is just gone now. It's really a husk of what it used to be, which was shit, but it was a special kind of shit, a type of shit that hasn't been recreated ever since people began finding it cooler to call their neighborhoods by the street number or block names.

Torrance is the dumbest mothafucka alive. He’s funny, slow, legally dumb but a great person to talk to. He’ll make you laugh every time y’all talk. Torrance is always working hard foe his money and he’ll make sure his girl is slayin. when you first meet him he’s very flirty. all he ever wants to do with his girl is cuddle and talk all night. Torrance is sometimes freaky and fight when necessary. Overall Torrance’s are the best.
girl1: “Torrance act so slow!”
girl2: “yea but i love his personality”
girl1: “yea he’s so boyfriend material”
girl2: “totally every girl needs a Torrance”

Torrancing is a technique used by the commentariat whereby they use an insulting headline or tweet to generate an angry reaction. As people try to refute the allegation they are then accused of bullying or attacking the commentator, who can then adopt a victim or "poor me" stance. Popular with Z-list celebrities.

torrance is located in the heart of south bay, los angeles. it is right between lax, and the port of los angeles. it's a pretty diverse city, mainly asians and whites. there's the del amo mall, one of the biggest malls in the nation, and torrance beach which is in the south end of the city. the city is split in 4 areas: north torrance, south torrance, central torrance, and west torrance. it's a pretty boring place to live, but the location is nice; easy access to the beaches and la/ oc.
