Council Estate

The birthplace and feeding ground of most (if not all) chav scum. Usually can be indentified by the pricks in tracksuits hanging around outside talking about how they can fuck up their already shitty cars even more and the graffiti on the concrete pillars.
Council Estates are fucking shit holes which I would never set foot in on purpose.

Council Estate

Council Estates are large housing estates typically in the United Kingdom or Ireland usually built between the 1950s and 1970s for low income and working class households. They are synonymous with poverty, drugs, teenage gangs, chavs (in the UK), yup bros (in Ireland), dickheads in general and violence. Some famous examples are Darndale in Dublin, Park Hill in Sheffield and Bransholme in Yorkshire.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
