Definder - what does the word mean?

What is North Shore?

Refers to the suburbs along Lake Michigan north of Chicago, where in the next several years, hundreds of "rich" people will be found out to be nothing more than superficial posers who badly abused their credit cards. Also site of hundreds and hundreds of ostentatious McMansions destined to become group homes because the people currently living in them can't afford them and they will be foreclosed, whereupon only truly wealthy people will live in mansions and the rest of these vulgar structures will be divided up so each roomer gets his/her own bedroom and bathroom.

Many North Shore moms driving black luxury SUV's in designer shades can only afford the lease because Dad hasn't made a mortgage payment in over two years and they're secretly mansion squatters.

What does "North Shore" mean?

located in the suburbs of the Chicago land area on the lake, Most of the current definitions are correct, but also the north shore consists of snotty emo freaks who think their lives suck even though they have everything, and ALL the kids are so obsessed with themselves they take "myspace Pictures" of themselves all day long.

"that girl has slits on her wrists and is wearing designer jeans"

North Shore - what does it mean?

The North Shore is an awesome group of northern suburbs of Chicago. It's funny because all towns sort of rival each other. At New Trier Highschool, one of the top high schools in the nation, its like "oh, they're from glencoe? thats why he has a jew fro." stuff like that. Everyone here drives bmws, lexus', audis, range rovers, etc. If you dont' drive one of those, your basically poor. The girls basically are bitches. Yeah, theres some nice people but not many. All the girls act super fake especially on facebook or text and then they are super bitchy in person. How could i complain though? this place rocks. And yeah we have it a lot better than everyone else. The only people who we compare ourselves to and wish we had the stuff of are celebrities.

Winnetka kid "They are from wilmette?"
Highland Park kid "Yeah, they have never even been inside of EStreet!"
Winnetka kid "I feel so bad for them."
Both "hahaha"

*note nobody talks to your face here in the North Shore

North Shore - definition

The North Shore of Chicago consists of many wealthy towns such as Glencoe, Wilmette, Northbrook, Highland Park, Kenilworth, Glenview, Evanston, Deerfield. Here, mothers drive their Honda Odyssey's or Toyota Sienna's while the fathers drive around expensive BMW's, Mercedes, Lexus's, etc. This part of Chicago is known for its wealth and unique culture. Families spend thousands of dollars a year for their child to be physically active. Typically, teens are carrying their JUULS and other vaping devices around. Teen girls are always on top of the latest fashion trend and as if the $650+ iPhone isn't enough, you have to have the $100 Apple charging case that chips within the first week so you can show off that phone in Snapchats or on Instagram! Additionally, education is a priority and everyone at some point or another can be found crying in their room over a math test! Not all people are rich and rude by the way. Although we hella judge one another, we are all a community! Also, homecoming and turnabout are an excuse to party so hard and waste money on party buses and limos even though they're super fun trust me. To add on, going down to the city is a popular activity. However, we don't take public transportation because...ew. Instead, we carpool with friends that have the nicest BMW out of all of us! Love living here, no complaints!

David is the most north shore person I know!

North Shore - slang

New York has The Hamptons. Los Angeles has Beverly Hills. We here in Chicago have the North Shore.

The North Shore is a group of suburbs north of Chicago that the majority of line up against Lake Michigan, thus the name "North Shore".

I'm from Chicago, and I will truthfully say that no, not all of the "North Shore" is snobby rich kids. (Like Evanston for instance, is a pretty decent and diverse suburb). However, don't give us the "you're just jealous because you wish you were as rich as us" attitude. Because honestly, it is way cheaper to live in the suburbs than it is to live in the city. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that everyone in Chicago can move to the north shore and buy a mansion. What I'm saying is that if all the rich families in the north shore were to move into the rich neighborhoods of Chicago, they wouldn't even nearly be able to aford the same quality houses they once had.

We don't need you to tell us you're rich. We've seen rich. Chicago has families with more wealth beyond your beliefs, so that's not an issue with us. It's the stuck up attitude that pisses off a lot of Chicago residents. Believe me, We have areas like Hyde Park, Lincoln Park, and The Loop. All of which have families with 10 times more cash than your families, so your wealth is nothing of suprise to us.

In Chicago we don't care if you've got a great car, a huge house, or a nice school. Our lives are still more exciting than yours.

A popular band from the North Shore is Fall Out Boy (Even though most out-of-staters have the crazy idea they're from Chicago.)

A popular movie that depicts some of the snootiness in comparison to the normality of the North Shore is Mean Girls

North Shore

The extremly wealthy north suburbs of Chicago. Well know for its great schools and wealthiness. Some of the greatly recognized schools are New Trier, Glenbrook South, Glenbrook North, and many other schools. The North Shore includes
Kenilworth, Winnetka, Wilmette, Glenview, Glencoe, Highland Park, Lake Forest, Northbrook, Deerfield, and Evanston. Basically, the average costs of these houses are well over 1 million dollars, and some of these propertys are even on the lake. Many kids have all designer clothes and for their sixteenth brithdays get cars such as BMWs, Lexus', Audis, and i have even heard of some getting Lamborghinis. Some 16 year olds even get yachts for their birthdays. This area is full of many bitches that you really don't want to be around, but it also has some nice people.

North Shore

Ahhhhh, yes. The North Shore. If you don't know what it is, it's the mega rich upper-class subarban town that is directly north of Chicago. I can confidently talk about the North Shore, since I have grown up there my whole life and still live there. Ok, first of all, NOT EVERYONE is filthy rich. Most of the population here definitly is, but there are regular families with average (and yes, even below average incomes). Secondly, NOT EVERY girl is a snobby, stuck-up bitch that gets to drive a BMW (paid by daddy's credit card, of course). Duh, there are some TOTAL spoiled bitches that I've met, but I've also met a lot of nice people. And, not all the guys are rich jocks either. Sadly, there probably are more bitchy girls then there are nice ones though. Thirdly, I want to get one thing straight. Being wealthy has NOTHING to do with a someone's personality. The way their parents raised them and taught them has to do with how the kid will turn out. Me, for example. It's a fact that I live in a wealthier family, but I've been raised to not judge people and I have really good morals because of my parents. I'm EXTREMELY thankful that I can live the type of life I do, and I never take money for granted. I don't have any designer clothes, and I actually love to shop at thrift stores in Evanston. I have really awesome friends, and I'm not even that popular (well, New Trier is huge, so it's not easy to be popular anyways, lol). So basically, the North Shore can be bad, but it's not a nightmare. It doesn't matter anyways, because I've already decided I'm going to move to New York City, or just some far away place when I get older. Last thing; a lot of people from here say "Who WOULDN'T want to live here?! It's like, totally awesome!!!" To that, I say "A lot more people then you think.....dumbass"

A lot of people in the North Shore think they are "emo"

*emo boy 1* - "Hey Dan! Like my new Fall Out Boy shirt?! It's SOOOO original, isn't it?? Even though 500 other kids have this shirt, it doesn't matter, because I bought it FIRST!!!"
*emo boy 2*- "Totally! OMG, did I tell you?! I went to my usual stalking spot at Pete Wentz house, and he yelled to me "Tell you and your fucking friends to GO AWAY and stop digging in my garbage!" Dude, we're like, best friends now, I can totally feel it.
*emo boy 1* "That's sooo intense. Hey, wanna cut wrists after school at Sam's? I'm bringing the razors this time!!!"
*emo boy 2* "You know it!"
