Show me the money, honey:
An upper-class town outside of Chicago, IL where the average cost of a home is 700,000 dollars. A beautiful Northwest suburb with about 20,000 people. You will find plenty of banks and starbucks in the downtown area and plenty of high schoolers driving new BMW's, Range Rovers, or Mercedes.
"Dude you live in Barrington?"
"yea"
"Dude, you're rich!"
Rubbing crass class in the face of the peasants
(Bah-ring-ton)(usually with an aristocratic accent and an accompanying eyeroll) a town in Illinois populated by an abnormally large amount of rich people who lack social skills to realize others don't have the same wealth and priveledges. Many people there gossip and stab you in the back, more than you would typically expect in a high school. 5 suicides have occurred in the past 2 years.
"Since the economy tanked, I can only go to Italy for 1 week this year! Boo hoo!"
"I've never been out of the country before..."
"Oh, I'm sorry, you must not live in Barrington."
Apparently, it makes it to the 'hood
a black kid who thinks he's white
Be proud of why you are...don't be a Barrington.
As they outgrow high school, the don't, really
to sleep with a younger female work colleague
hey bro, did you barrington her? you lucky dawg.
But, tell us what you really think, don't be afraid to hold back
pronounced Baaarrrrriiinnnnggggtttttooooonnnnnnn, a bunch of rich pricks who are [too] stuck up [their] own asshole to give a fuck about one another.
barrington people are bitches
One of the locals (high school kid, I imagine) checks in:
we live there. its pretty sweet. there are some pretty gay kids down the street... smoking all the time. our neighbor went to jail for giving kids alcohol... but what can we say... we love the town.
d1: do u want to go to barrington?
d2: barrington is awesome
This is pretty insightful. It happens, sadly, it happens.
To be underage, drink or smoke way to much then drive and crash. Usually resulting in death.
Joey: You hear that Brian pulled a Barrington last night?
Kelly: Was he drunk or high?
Joey: Both, its Barrington.
Another local perspective, I do believe:
The name comes from a small town next to chicago where they're are pleanty of barringtons.
It means a strait person who only thinks they are gay but really like people of the opposite sex.
Fred says hes gay but i saw him checkin out chicks at the mall, he's such a barrington.
In my late 30's, I caddied at Sunset Ridge Country Club. In the final round of the men's club championship, I was following the match, when a lady member of the club whom I had never before met asked me if I was from Barrington. I answered affirmatively.
She then asked, "Is it true that all the women in Barrington think that Coo-king and Fuc-king are cities in China?" I burst out laughing, almost couldn't breath. Too damn funny.
The legend lives on.
And there are others. Jeez, what's in a name, would a rose by any other smell less sweet?
In Rhode Island:
a small town in rhode island that is also the wealthiest. full of rich kids where the student parking lot is 4 times bigger than the teachers. on the water and every house is at least a half a million. huge party town and has the best school system in the state. similar to laguna beach and east greenwich. recently voted the sixth best town in the United States by CNN/Money.com.
those barrington kids, they have everyting.
More about that Rhode Island Barrington, which sounds quite a lot like the Illinois one:
Small town in Rhode Island. Pretty rich and there's lots of drugs. The "image" is a preppy kid who's really snobby and belongs to the country club. Tan, teeny bikini. It isn't all true though, there are a lot of cool kids in Barrington. the snotty ones are annoying, and give the town a really bad name. The high test scores and at-least-half-a-million-dollar houses don't help much either. Everyones close or on the water, but that's because we're so damn small! There's a hell of a lot of gossip, drama, and Abercrombie, but don't forget Juicy Couture, Coach, Louie Vuitton, Free People, Seven Jeans, and (yes) Hot Topic.
The school system is very rich. They all got new computers, and a basketball court that, when made "wrong," was ripped up and remade. The middle school, to keep up scores, makes everyone stay after if you miss homework. They say you will come if, "your parents love you as much as we do." *gag*
"Why is everyone in the ER giving me bad looks?"
"Oh, they hate everyone from Barrington, say we're all alcoholics in nice cars."
"aren't we?"
Is this irony rolling over with laughter in his coffin, or is this straight from the horse's mouth?
A very nice town in Rhode Island. Teens here come from wealthy families and are smart, and the poster children for being perfect. People in other areas n RI wish they are like the kids of Barrington. Best town in RI, best schools, best everything. Everything is better in Barrington.
Teen 1: Where do you live in RI?
Teen 2: Barrington
Teen 1: So are you a bunch of wealthy snobs?
Teen 2: No, we are wealthy citizens.
And one in New Jersey too. New Jersey, who would have thunk it? Well, let's just say that the Jersey Barrington and the other two Barringtons are worlds apart in their values.
A small town in south jersey with a population of about 5000 to 8000. Known for kids extremely good at sports and guys that have really big dicks. kids here go to haddon heights high school and are really fast.
Damien: yo is that kid from barrington cause he's really good at sports and really fast too.
Jane: yeah he is. you should see his dick too.
It's always good to get two sources for the purposes of verification:
A small town in New Jersey in which kids go to Haddon Heights High School. There the kids are known for having good hands(meaning they can catch) and giant penises. Only the best are from Barrington. Also, Barrington is known for having extremely fast white kids.
Matt: Hey look how good Shane is at catching the football.
Jeff: You should see his penis.
Bob: Of course, he's from Barrington.
I wouldn't have fit in Barrington, New Jersey, either.
