commonwealther 

A person from, or resident of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Origins:

Massachusetts does not lend itself well to the typical suffixes (-ian, -er, etc.) attached to the name of a place to refer to someone who is from that place (perhaps because the name is not of English origin.) Thus, commonwealther is used as a reference to the fact that Massachusetts is officially designated as a Commonwealth instead of a State (although there is no legal distinction between a “state” and a “commonwealth” in the United States.).

There are three other "states" in the US that designate themselves as Commonwealths (Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Virginia.) However, the usual suffixes are applied to them (Kentuckian, Pennsylvanian and Virginian) without issue, and so a new word is not needed to describe a resident of one of those states.

Bill's not a New Yorker, he's a Commonwealther.

Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth 

The time when Poland was actually strong.

1569-1795 (holy shit the polish-lithuanian commonwealth existed for more than 2 centuries)
First Partition - 1772 by Russia, Prussia and Austria
Second Partition - 1793 by Russia and Prussia
Third and final partition - 1795 by Russia, Prussia and Austria. The end of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth's reign.

The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth almost beat the shit out of Russia by occupying the capital, Moscow for a bit before getting fucked by the Russian Military.

commonwealth break-up

The ending of a relationship whereby the parties, rather than agree to terminate the relationship, simply stop talking to/lose contact with each other, and nothing is done to rememdy the situation.

"When my girlfriend and I went to different universities, we never really said "It's over", we just kinda stopped talking. It was a commonwealth break-up."

Virginia Commonwealth University 

What was once a raggedy community college in the middle of downtown Richmond has become the most wild and fun damn university in Virginia; just ask a Tech kid about it.

It's Saturday at Virginia Commonwealth University, so, yes, I am having a damn wild time. How is that house party in Harrisonburg, nerd?

Is that girl wearing a top? Why, no. She isn't. God, I love Richmond.

Virginia Commonwealth University 

Best damn school in the state of Virginia. For people to like to have a good time and learn a lil something while their at it. Every type of person is welcome, we dont judge - we party.

Best art, medicine, and mass communications schools around.

Best parties, clubs on every street, with the best damn people around. You can be yourself at VCU, we dont judge people like those snobs at U of R, dont have high STD rate like the hoes of JMU, and def know how to party it up unlike the lames of UVA.

Has Broad Street, the best place to hang with friends and eat, or just chill. Who else has Coldstone, Quiznoes, 5 Guys, Chipotle, and Extreme Pizza on the same strip?


VCU BASKETBALL = AMAZING...ROWDY RAMS BIAAATCH!!
VCU FOOTBALL = STILL UNDEFEATED ASK ABOUT US!

Virginia Commonwealth University is the place to be. If you aint a Ram, you aint bout shit!

Starr Commonwealth 

Starr Commonwealth is a therapeutic boarding school for both boys and girls. It specializes in Substance abuse, Psychical Abuse, Emotional Abuse, and even the every day family problems. Starr Commonwealth is also known for lying to the families and students. They say that you will have lots of contact with your friends and family while you are away, but no I never was allowed to talk to my friends, and received one phone call a week to my family, each for 15 minutes of time. They also told me we would receive our cell phones and laptops upon good behavior. That was a lie, we were never allowed to have any of those items. The closest thing to electronics we were allowed to have were camera's and cell phones. Every day, or at least almost everyday someone would have a temper tantrum and would have to get restrained to cool down. It was scary. I see this place as a nicer prison. DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS THERE!

Starr Commonwealth 

Starr Commonwealth is a Boys and Girls Residential Boarding School Treatment Center, that helps teens learn how to be the best they can be. It is located in Albion, Michigan, Columbus Ohio, and Detroit Michigan.They treat kids who suffer from Trauma, and who have been involved in various crimes such as Sexual offenses, Substance Abuse, Physical Abuse, and Everyday parents/teen troubles. This school did not help me as I thought it should. I got raped, then I suffered from Trauma. Sucks...This school is also a lie. They tell you that you will always have contact with your parents, but really you only get one phone call a week. You do get to email them everyday. You must stay with the group the whole time you are there, if you don't you get restraint. Ouch...What a lie. Do not send your kids there. www.starr.org
