Atherton 

A small redneck town located near Cairns in far north Queensland, Australia. It is the inbreeding capital of far north Queensland.
Sometimes called 'A-town'.
WARNING: This nicknaming is commonly used by white trash, douche bags, and the under educated.
Mostly inhabited by redneck townsfolk, farmers and rich Italian families that run most of the local businesses around town.
On any given weekday all of the stores close after 8:00pm, except for the 24 hour gas station, which seems to be a popular hangout for the younger rednecks. Popular local activities include staring at the non-locals and driving like a fucking moron. If you're into nightlife the local pubs offer live DJ's that play all of your favourite radio songs every third Friday of the month. The pubs make a special effort to stay open until 1:30 or 2:00AM to cater for this event.
Saturdays and Sundays are not acknowledged in Atherton. Mondays are the new Sunday.
"Where are you from?"
"Atherton."
"Where?"

"A-town is da best place in da world". - local.

Atherton is the most expensive zip code in the United States, featured in Forbes Magazine yearly for the ridiculous house pricing. Homes in Atherton range from 3 million to 25 million, averaging around $7,000,000. Home to some of the most powerful men and women in technology in the world, such as the CEO of Ebay, YouTube, HP, Google, and Larry Ellison, being wealthy in Atherton means being a multi-billionaire. 17 year olds drive Ferraris.

So basically, to live in A-town, you must be rich, white, and go to a private school that costs +25,000
He lives in Atherton, daaaamn he must be a fucking billionaire.

Did you know that YouTube was founded above Applewood Pizza, only minutes away from Atherton?

Fuck man, he must be so spolid he's from Atherton.

Atherton 

Being the most expensive zip code in the country and with the highest per capita income of any city in the world, Atherton is where rich people work before retiring to places for old people such as Rancho Santa Fe (cheaper) or Palm Springs (also cheaper). It is seperated into 3 main areas, the area south of Alameda, where Larry Ellison and a few other billionaires live, the midtown area which includes normal people in normal houses that just happen to retail for around 3 Million each, at the cheapest, and the COMPARABLY stank ass area north of El Camino, which includes Lindenwood, a knockoff of midtown, which is impossible to navigate. It is still better than Hillsborough. Other neighboring knockoffs of Atherton include Woodside and Palo Alto, which are the only comparably nice areas, and Menlo Park, which is identical to Atherton except for the addition of businesses, sidewalks, and postage stamp sized lots. In Portola Valley, everyone knows each other (in a creepy way) and no flowers grow because otherwise Portola Valley wouldn't be an ugly shithole, which it undoubtably is. Being an Athertonian is sometimes annoying, as telling people that you are from Atherton puts you prone to constant mooching. In summary, Atherton is much nicer than where you live. The End.
Portola Valley is like Atherton, except with pretentious, genetically inferior scum. And no plants.

Atherton is where Laguna Beach should be shot, because one Athertonian man from South Atherton could buy both the city of Laguna Beach, and all the cast members from the show. And they would still have enough to buy Haiti.

Atherton 

Hometown. The best city in the world. Although there's no noise, EVER! About 7,000 people mostly adults over the age of 50. Exactly the place I wish to remain for the rest of my life. Oh and Beverly Hills and Starfish Island might be more famous but those are only movie stars and celebrities who live there. Here, there are regular people with bigger bank accounts than usual.
Damn, you live in Atherton? You must be rich!

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
