Located in Pennsylvania, Tulpehocken is the place you go if you want drugs or easy sex. It's a bunch of rednecks that think they're cool and try to do all the hip new stuff until mommy and daddy yell at them. If you want to be evacuated because of a poptart, this is the school to go to.
far from urban life. Used in the form, "out in the tulies" or "waaaay out in the tulies." Someone can be "from the tulies"--same meaning as "from the sticks." The term comes from the tulie rush, a country plant that is (or used to be) common in moist areas of US west coast states, but does not thrive in or near cities.
"Are you going to the party?"
"Dunno, they live way out in the tulies somewhere."
