scruburbs 

noun; an area that is almost a respectable suburb, but is just a little "off". Maybe creepy, dirty, dingy, etc. Likely a suburban area that's going downhill and becoming a ghetto. Often peopled with scrubs, or just looks and feels like a scrubby version of suburbia.

Man, this new house I bought seemed like it was in a nice area. The neighbors have flowers in their lawns, cute little yards for every house. But, now that I've moved in and met the people here, I realize they have all given up on life and I can't leave my house after dark. D@mnit, I'm stuck in the scruburbs!

Suburbs

A place on the outskirts of the city, this way more people can live in a city. It is often confused with the rich suburbs, such as Beverly Hills, California, and Ladue, Missouri. Many races live here, not just whites.

Bob: Dude, the suburbs suck!
Frank: Meh, depends on which one.

Scubburbs 

Area between the right side of the tracks and the wrong side of the tracks. Scum + Suburbs = Scubburbs.

My house is in the fucking scubburbs. The Clopecs in my front yard and Walmart in my backyard. All these scubburbinites are getting together for some BBQ and discount bargains.

Suburbs Low 

Ghetto version of city high (R&B trio from late 90s, early aughts).

We can form our own group, instead of city high, we can be suburbs low.

suburbs

In the cases I know of, it has: a neighborhood with mostly two-story houses, a place to hang out within walking distance((Consists of a movie theater, food place, etc.), and schools within bike-riding distance. Unlike cities, it isn't loud and noisy at night. Usually has middle-class people because the houses are nice. A police station is just a mile away, so crime rate is lower than in most cities even.

Example:

Person 1: I bet living in the suburbs sucks, with it being so boring, and filled with crime!

Person 2: Where'd you get that idea? We don't need cars honking outside our windows for life to be interesting, and the crime rate is very low.

suburbs

an area that is somewhat in between the rural areas and the cities. It is a typical neighborhood, with usually no apartments. watch the movie "over the hedge" and you will get a vague idea of what it is. contrary to what all the other dumb asses are saying on this site about suburbs, the suburbs are pretty freakin' much the best type of area to live in. They are not hellholes or places where white people steal and do drugs. If anything, I think that would be called the ghetto? just maybe? (sarcasm). They are perfect in virtually every way. they also have sidewalks. the houses don't all look alike either. I know, i live in one.

hey man, i live in the suburbs.

oh yeah?

yeah man, it's like a cross between the country and the city.
