I lived in New Canaan for 4 years.
It really sucks because if you don't have money or you're really ugly you are pretty much worthless. Sports are like oxygen to these people- well only sports that bring home championship titles, the other ones are treated like shit. Everyone has pretty much grown up together and everyone knows everyone. If you're really unfortunate looking, you can buy your friendship with cars, clothes, booze, ect. And drugs are pretty big. Not as big as Ridgefield though. Nearly everyone drinks, many people smoke weed, and some people do coke or oxycontin or whatever. The police are all itching to search teenagers because they are just as bored. Mainly people either hate New Canaan or like it. I'm indifferent because the people are mostly very nice, just not to those that are unattractive, lower middle class, or shy. Overall its a great family oriented place. Once you're older though, there's absolutely nothing to do except drink yourself into oblivion.
New canaan is a nice place to live if you are attractive and wealthy.

Someone who constantly compares everything to New York City in an attempt to appear cooler than the situation at hand. Whether the person is from New York or not is irrelevant.
A New Dorker is never truly satisfied with their surroundings. Even when in Brooklyn, they will play-up Manhattan. The idea is to compare every situation with something they hope their audience will view as "bigger and better".
This attitude culminates in comparing Manhattan to a European city that the New Dorker hopes their audience has never been, as to avoid detection and conjecture.
i.e. "Yeah, Manhattan is a lot of fun but its not like it used to be... yawn... Barcelona is way better, they don't start partying until 2am on a Monday morning"
Not relegated to nightlife, New Dorkers belittle the sports events, urban landscape, music venues, restaurants, and culture of any smaller city with which they are unfamiliar with or situations which they find intimidating.
They fail to realize that most of their reasoning is simply contingent on New York's large population and not indicative of the quality of the people or space.
Ironically, New Dorkers often turn out to be the most boring people when you do end up partying with them in Manhattan.
Jake: "Wow... I am having a great time, this club is awesome, the people in this city are really cool"
Jill: "eh... in New York the clubs have like 2,000 people in them, this club only has a 1000"
Joe: "Yeah, I thought it was going to look bigger, I guess I'm just used to the New York skyline you know... this looks small"
Jake: You are a bunch of New Dorkers

Contrary to popular belief, New Hampshire is not even HALF Hicks and Hillbillies. New Hampshire is beautiful in the Fall, hot in the Summer, snowy in the Winter, and great in the Spring. My Home state, and rated one of the best places to live. Southern New Hampshire is just like any other other suburban/rural area, with small towns. Some beautiful neigborhoods, especially in Windham. 40 minutes to bustling Boston, the pride of living here. Great for escape vacations. Very peaceful in comparison to places like Southern California and the crime-ridden streets of Detroit. The Rebel State; many things are legal here that aren't in other states.
Jon: I live in New Hampshire!
Eric: Damn, you're so lucky!
Jon: I know! Just last night while riding my motorcycle without a helmet I bought fireworks from a convience store. They were cheap 'cause they had NO TAX. Oh, I also bought booze from that same store too, not a packie.

British army slang for killing the enemy, or the method/instrument used or to be used to kill the enemy.
'We'll breach a hole in the bunker and 6 platoon will go in and deliver the Good News.'
'The air support will be delivering the good news in a 2 minutes'

New Orleans is a large port city located as closely as possible to the mouth of the Mississippi River, making it a necessary port to the U.S. and for delivering goods to America's heartland. Though largely decayed and impoverished, the city has a flavor unique from all other cities in the nation due to its rich, creole heritage. It is protected by a faulty U.S. Army Corps of Engineers levee system that has been criminally managed for decades (not very far from many other major American cities). It was misrepresented and brandished when the levees breached in 2005. The levees are not being built to standard, a very low standard, that is.
America's Rio. The city that care forgot and government abandoned. Laissez le mauvais temps roulez!! ReNew Orleans
