A southern army town trying to get away from its past, with mixed success and results. Instead of pawn shops and strip clubs (of which there are still PLENTY)you get strip malls, shopping centers, and Applebees. But you can still pick up hookers at the Ruby Tuesdays on Skibo. The "historic" downtown is trying to revitalize itself, but there are still too many crack and meth heads to take care of. A few decent brew pubs and that's it.

A nickname used in the United States for any trashy or undesirable place with a name incorporating "Fayette." Examples include Fayetteville, NC; Fayetteville, TN; and Fayette County, PA. To qualify as a "Fayettenam", the area is usually required to be poor and have a high concentration of drugs, excessive drinking, and general depravity. Many "Fayettenam" areas are in the Appalachian region.

A nickname for Fayetteville, Tennessee, a bizarre town full of bad DNA, mean spirited Jerry Springer-hopefuls, crackheads, drive-by's, children gettin slapped across walmart and supermarket aisles, auctions and tractor pulls...
"That poor meth-head up in Fayettenam pissed himself in front of the Dairy Queen in front of God and everybody, and started ravin about how Reading Rainbow used to get his motor runnin and how he screwed one of Loretta Lynn's back-up singers in 78'."
