The most common use for the word 'townie' in England is that which describes a
person.

A townie is normally aged between 11 and 15. Listens to so-called 'garage'
music such as Blazin' Squad and So Solid Crew, neither of which is REAL garage
music; simply pop music with a stammering kid in fake diamonds fronting the
band.

A townie will normally dress in grubby shell-toed Nike trainers, rolled-up
Adidas tracksuit bottoms and an unmatching jogging top, regardless of the sex.
If female, the jogging jacket will most likely be pink or baby blue, most
likely purchased for Ł5 at the local market and will have the
word 'PRINCESS', 'BABE', 'BLING BLING' or 'FCUK' spelt out in white across the
front.
If male, the townie's jogging top will most likely be white with blue sleeves,
again purchased for Ł5 at a market; and will have the name of an American city
spelt out across the front, ie. 'BOSTON', 'DETROIT', or 'CUBA'; ..despite the
fact that these creatures are not intelligent enough to know where the places
they advertise on their chests are. Most, upon asking, will not even realize
that 'BOSTON' is a city.

A townie will often smoke because "it's alrigh', innit?". All townies own at
least one item of clothing with the disgusting beige/brown Burberry print upon
it. Obviously, this garment is not genuine Burberry, and instead of the Ł400
charged for a real Burberry bag/scarf, will have been purchased for Ł1.50 down
the local market.

A female townie will have poorly dyed blonde hair with split ends and two inch
long roots, gelled back into an impossibly tight bun/ponytail held by a fake
Burberry hair-tie. The ears will also be adorned with at least three fake gold
earrings ("only two quid fer eigh' pairs dahwn 'a marke'") and will have some
form of acne, vainly covered up by layers upon layers of cheap foundation, blue
eyeshadow and neon blusher. Eyes will also be caked with smudged eyeliner and
clumpy blue mascara.

A male townie will not wear make-up, but will normally have a diamanté stud in
one ear and boast that he did it himself.

All townies look down upon anyone who:

A) is intelligent
B) has a future that doesn't involve the words 'McDonald's drive-thru'
C) owns an item of black clothing
D) doesn't listen to So Solid Crew
E) doesn't smoke
F) doesn't have a forced Cockney accent
G) shows ANY sign of refusal to conform to the masses; ie. INDIVIDUALITY.

  I'll keep it! My students sometimes ask me such funny questions and I usually
  say that I'm not an expert in these sub-culture matters. Ha, time for a
  change!!
  
  amused.to.death, thanks a million!

    Ines, polecam tę stronę:
    
    www.urbandictionary.com/
    są tam definicje różnych wyrazów ze slangu pisane przez wiele osób - czasami naprawdę super lektura!!!
    
    jedna z definicji 'townie' brzmiała tam tak:
    "seen at the back of the police car (best place)" :)))
