Person 1 - “Hey babes did you hear Tyler and his partner had a gender reveal party?”
Person 2 - “Omg, they’re so suburban”
Suburban is sub-urban, not quite the country not quite the city.
The area they described as having long, winding suburban roads wasn't anything like what they were describing 20 or 30 years ago, though if they got there or visited recently, they wouldn't know that. It was a city the size of Omaha or somewhere like Omaha, surrounded by small towns and long, winding country roads that few people if anybody lived on. If you went back one hundred years the city itself had been a small town in the middle of the country. It was only when people from suburban places like Florida and California wanted the area to look like where they were from and invested in making it look that way that it started to look more like Florida or California.
Suburban is sub-urban, almost urban but not urban.
The people describing the area like they knew it like the back of their hand hadn't been there 20 or 30 years ago, when the area they were describing was nowhere near urban or even suburban (sub-urban), it was the country, or as some would call it rural.
What you find outside of Chicago, New York (Long Island, parts of North Jersey for example) LA (Orange County for example) or South/Central Florida. A lot of these areas have been suburban since World War 2 or shortly after, and have a lot of what you find in a city, but with a lower concentration of it, and without as much variety. These areas haven't been rural in a long time, but they're also not urban areas. Many cities in the South would be closer to small towns in other parts of the country around World War 2 and in the years after, with some of the port cities being like mid size port cities up North, but don't have much in common with cities up North otherwise, they are different parts of the country.
A housing development built in a corn field in the middle of nowhere isn't really suburban, it's just land developers built houses on. Suburban is a mindset and a way of life, usually it goes with an area that has been suburban since many generations before your generation lived there, since you'd have to meet somebody 100 years of age or older to hear anything about what the area was like before it was the suburbs.
Depending on who you're trying to get riled up, you could start a string of misinformation about Nigerian cities having suburban origins, you could do the same thing with about any information about any country.
The guy was trying to get the locals in Sri Lanka riled up, so he started a string of misinformation to get some of the changes he wanted to see. The cities in Sri Lanka weren't as large as Tokyo, New York, London, or Paris, so they must be easy, suburban targets.
A Coach USA company that buys lots of uncomfortable buses from Van Hool, then uses them to operate the long routes normally operated by Shortline when there are too many college students trying to travel for Shortline to accommodate them all.
After being stuck on Suburban buses for hours twice in one week at Thanksgiving, I think I want to take OurBus next Thanksgiving.
