A shanty town built by the homeless during the Bush Depression of the early 21st Century. These settlements are often built on unused/abandoned land, or under freeway overpasses, and consist of jerry-built tents, shacks, cardboard boxes, or other makeshift dwellings by those who lost their jobs during this economic downturn. Named for the President, George W. Bush, whose conservative policies and greed are responsible for the Depression which also bears his name.
The construction workers who lost their jobs threw a Bushville together down by the river.
“Took a cab from Burnsville” is synonymous with being penny wise and dollar foolish. In Minneapolis Minnesota a national fried chicken chain advertised a one day chicken special. When it was discovered the only local Minneapolis store did not honor the national special local TV crews went onto the scene to get footage of the patron’s disappointment. One of the patrons interviewed complained loudly "I took a cab from Burnsville" which is a distant suburb of Minneapolis where the expense of a cab ride would be many magnitudes times the savings of the chicken special.
I took a cab from Burnsville to getcheap movie tickets.
A small city in western North Carolina. It is a retirement community so there are many old people and tourists, but nothing to do if you aren't old or rich.
