podunk
a phrase for a small or rural town that was popularized by the movie "The French Connection" in 1971, starring Gene Hackman. The film was about a drug smuggling operation that had french connections in mid-state New York. This was all based on actual happenings and the small, rural town known as Poughkeepsie was the actual setting in both real life and in the movie. Countless times in the movie, they used slang phrases such as "podunk" or "pough town" to describe the area. Today, the phrases have caught on with many individuals and spread throughout many states and towns all across America. By being spread through word of mouth, many people lost the true meaning of podunk and did not even realize it was originally used and first created for Poughkeepsie. The town of Poughkeepsie and city has now become less rural and more developed. Surrounding towns have all been overcrowded by many people coming from the suburbs of NYC due to the ripple effect. Too many people work in the city and live just outside of it, so they move a little bit farther out to escape the high density living. Even though Poughkeepsie may not even count as a podunk town anymore, it should always be credited for inspiring the popular phrase.
The Urban Dictionary Mug
The mug came quickly and we love it!
These mugs are always good. I usually choose the neon green!
The mug is pretty and the writing on it is clear. It is of good quality and it makes me smile.
Well madder nice print. 8 0z cup. I'd prefer a mug but will be ordering 3 more. Just my cuppa tea (or coffee). Americans always make fun of some of the things I say. Recently my brother and I were talking about the Trawna Maple Leafs. I decided to look it up and sure enough there is was Trawna the city I grew up in. Now who has the last laugh.
I ordered pink but got purple, and the text wasn't very clean, but overall, it is a mug.
It was a gift for my sister, who wrote it. She loved it and so did I!
