A nickname for Whitby, a boring town located in Ontario, Canada, in the GTA. It's a town full of white people, thus people call it WHITEby. If you know the history of Whitby, you know that the name “Whitby”, is a contraction of “Whitteby,” meaning “White Village” in Danish. However, there are a couple of blacks, asains, latinos, and other races, but it's mostly white people. Many people also call this town Shitby because it's shit. It's a town full of shitty preps and old white people. Most of the teens in Whitby complain all the time that they want to live in a real city or another town because literally nothing ever happens in Whiteby.

Whiteby is colloquial term for the town of Whitby, Ontario, Canada. Whitby translates to 'White Village' or 'White Community' in Old Nordic dialect. The population there is approx. 70% Caucasian as of 2023. Some people talk Whitby down because there's 'too many white people' there (which could be considered a racist opinion) whilst others adore Whitby because it's a safe, clean and calm place to reside, and it's less than an hour commute to the downtown Toronto core.
