Burbite

Burbite (Bur~Bite) 1. A diminutive term used by the urban young adults (18-29) of San Francisco to describe the individuals of the outlying suburban communities. 2. A person of origin outside the city of San Francisco, residing outside of the city of San Francisco, who attempts to assume hippness by visiting the quainter neighborhoods of San Francisco, or to a lesser extent Berkeley, on an infrequent basis. 3. A person residing in the suburbs of a major hip city, who has not fully committed him or herself to the assuming the general kinkyness of the times and herd mentality of a dense urban region. Note, burbites usually feel its a necessity to own a high fuel consumption vehicle that does not easily fit into a compact urban parking space. People using this term in common vernacular tend to try and out do their contemporaries by acquiring new subdivisions of body art and piercings rather than new tract homes in suburban subdivisions. Burbites define art and hippness by obtaining large cookie cutter possessions that make them as bland as everyone else in their neighborhood. Non-burbites (urban hipsters) define art and hipness by decorating their bodies like everyone else in their neighborhood.
