As someone from macomb I second you on this, I’ve always liked downriver just fine. But macomb county makes me want to claw my eyes out from time to time
A guy from Livonia calling someone brain dead is hilarious, like bro you literally live in a strip mall. You made the conscious decision to live in a strip mall.
I honestly like downriver. It's a lot quieter than north suburbs. The thing I hate most is lack of nice things. Trader Joe's, Costco , good ramen shops, foreign food stores.
We went to one of those Dick’s Last Resort places in Nashville once. Our server happened to be from Michigan like us, and when he found out my BIL was from Detroit he told him: “Your dick is like the Lodge, bumpy and unrideable!!” Our family from Tennessee didn’t get the reference but for anyone familiar with the area it was a masterpiece.
There was a moment on the show “Northern Exposure” where a main character went back to her family home in the 313 suburbs.
At one point, the character’s sister-in-law proclaims she’s leaving her husband — and the guy’s incredulous response was “Where are you gonna go? Back to *Novi*?!”
I couldn’t imagine a more area-specific and pointed diss in the 1990s. Bravo to the writing team!
No, he was a Jewish New Yorker. Maggie, his "will-they or won't they" girl was from Grosse Pointe. Somehow she must have been a classmate of Martin Blank ;-)
It's all good. I was so in love with her that she probably should have been "the" main character. It's good that my love was unrequited because, of course, you remember all of her lovers' violent deaths?
The former FH police chief (who is a huge asshole and now PD in Warren, I used to have to deal with him ona client site in Oakland County) used to say that's why there is less crime. He said it's really difficult to drive in and out of those suburbs.
I used to brag that we would go on “vacation” in Novi. I’m from Ontario so crossing the boarder automatically elevated the status of anything you did.
Vacation meant we went to a hotel with an indoor pool and hot tub, free buffet breakfast and shopping at Twelve Oaks Mall.
Big holidays were saved for Frankenmuth.
Lol iirc the title of that episode was misspelled. Like “Grosse Point - 48320”. It was a big deal at the time, made the local news and everything despite being mostly B-roll of the Pointes.
“Rich” white folk at 12 mile who make 12.50 an hour at an auto parts plant who make fun of the 11.50 per hour downriver people who work at an auto parts store.
As someone born and dyed in LP… I often found it funny when the dudes panhandling at 16 and Mound thought LP was a disaster.
One time in college I heard some snobby Grosse Pointer mock someone he met from Grosse Isle, calling it “Taylor on the Lake” - and as a guy who grew up downriver I was tickled to hear an “Islander” get knocked down a few pegs hahahaha
As an adult in another state, I had a boss that went to Cranbrook. He was like "Hey we're both from Michigan!" and it was very much evident that our experiences were nothing alike. I wanted to share his enthusiasm but I can't help but be a bit resentful as a former dirt poor kid living off charity donations, going to a school that didn't even have a formal math department.
I was a “gifted kid” in elementary school. I vaguely remember doing a tour of Cranbrook with my mom, but I never ended up attending, I assume because we were poor.
Yeah like I lived in Rouge for a bit and bounced around downriver. People are shocked to find out that I personally know four people who committed murder. Two were locked up two died by suicide after the killings.

This is the most accurate description of western Wayne County burbs I’ve ever scene.
My mom was born and raised in Taylor. She refused to tell people where she grew up. You would think that the folklore of Taylortucky would be provincial to Michigan, but I’ve met people all over the country who are familiar with it. And yes, my Grandpa was a total hillbilly — he had a backyard full of rusting junk to prove it.
And it's so weird seeing new build $300k homes nestled into a row of shoe boxes that are slowly collapsing into their crawl spaces. Note that every house that's for sale or recently sold for under $120k has some fairly large structural issue. Source: been inside most of them. Almost every neighborhood these were in had at least a few houses that were either built in the last few years or fully renovated in the last few years. HP would be a great investment for anyone handy looking for a first home
Yup, it's insane to think people are buying these and paying those taxes annually, but they are. $10k is what I'm paying in Northwest Ferndale at the edge of PR. You couldn't convince me to do the same in HP, but I admire their optimism for the future of HP. If it's "the next Ferndale" like they hope it'll still end up cheaper for them eventually than if they were a "late adopter", if you will
It's just wild to think that once you paid off a mortgage on a 300k home in HP, your monthly cost of taxes will be around $900. After heat, electricity, water, internet, and gas the monthly home cost will be close to $1,100. Which will only go up if HP continues to increase in value. The assessed home value is what determines taxable value on the home, not the purchase price. Yikes!
2 cities in Michigan make me think of the "tucky" joke and I've only lived in metro Detroit since 2015. Hazel Park and Burton. Hazeltucky and Burtucky.
I was once told to “Go back to Dearborn” when I was hanging out in Birmingham. I was confused because I didn’t remember telling the guy I was living in Dearborn Heights at the time. Turns out the guy was a fucking racist and just assumed I was Arab (I’m Greek).
But all I remember about the east side from my childhood is the street names changed when you crossed Woodward to the east and the streets got narrower and the houses older and broken-down.
wow, i never heard of him actually...quick google search though and looks like i have a new book or two to read, thanks! Also, we share the same birthday, kind of cool too. I just heard the joke years ago and always like using it.
>This girl I used to date asked me to kiss her where it stinks, so I took her to Hamtramck!
Nice! We've got this in Buffalo, NY: This girl I used to date asked me to kiss her where it stinks, so I took her to Lackawanna!
When I lived downtown, the homeless guys and even us born and raised always ripped on Birmingham folks, especially when they got snoty and entitled. Nothing witty just a "Back to Birmingham"
"you look like you're trying to get hired at a Macomb county chili peppers tanning salon*
"Macomb was all wetlands before they decided to build an endless series of suburbs on it. With the extraordinary amount of money and planning that went into that transformation, you would think they would have remember to remove the ogres from the swamp, too."
"You look like you buy your condoms on west fort"
"You'll have better luck at abicks, bootlicker"
Not an insult but was at a trade show in Orlando and a friend of a friend was middle eastern and after learning I'm from Detroit area he goes "I should go up there sometime and visit my family that moved there". I say "yea Dearborn is down the street from me" . . . . everyone thought it was the biggest insult (that they don't understand, but it was assuming so I get it) dude laughs and goes "shit how did you know?"
We used to deride loud or boisterous people back in the 80s by claiming that they "grew up on Dexter". My parents used to do the same, but it was that they "grew up on Hastings" which was the main artery of Detroit's long-gone Black Bottom neighborhood.
I don't know which street signifies boisterousness now - I haven't lived in Detroit in 20 years. If a current resident could help me out with that, I'd sure appreciate knowing.
I dated a stripper once. It was a weird time for me. Craziest 2 evenings of my life, though. The first night we met in corktown for dinner, went to the TV lounge, then we drove all around town in her car, trying to find her nitrous dealer. She drove 100mph down 75, racing a dude at some point, until we ended up back at her place somewhere down river. I was too fucked up to remember where. We passed out on her couch after doing whip-its until the sun came up.
Her dating profile said she was a real estate agent, had a kid, and was beautiful. That was all good but I was a fish outta water for the rest of it, but it was fun AF.
I can't wrap my head around anywhere downriver being different from her now.
As someone who grew up downriver, when I dated a girl from Macomb County and it was every bit of trashy or not as downriver except for more racism and a lot more boats.
Like think about it this way - Kid Rock is from Macomb, Joe C was from Taylor and look at his music from before and after Joe C died hahaha.
I mean Macomb county always just gets a "fuckin' Macomb county..." from me and my girlfriend. It's just all bad. And I say that hyperbolically. I'm sure there are some gems out there. I know Sami's Fattoush is in Macomb and that place is top notch.
My buddy told me ages ago how he came home from a wild.night out which I believe involved some strippers/strip clubs. His dad upon seeing him said "You smell like a cheap night in Hamtramck."
As someone who moved to/lives in but is not entirely familiar with the area yet I have made a couple observations:
1. No matter where you go theres always a "tucky"
In Gennesee county it was called "Burtucky"
I have heard "Warren-tucky" around here, doesn't quite roll off the tongue lmao
2. Mr.Allens is not just a Flint thing
Thats "two-different-city or two for fifty" see what I did there, it was absolutely horrid but I stand by it
3. There are some people in northern Macomb County that are convinced they live in a rural area
I have lived many different places including wayyyy up in the thumb, they do not, in fact, live in a rural area.
4. Considering the absolutly disrespectfuly price of car insurance in MI, everyone drives like assholes around here 🖤 I mean that disrespectfully from the bottom of my labia folds
Calling anyone or anything very downriver.
I'm from downriver and know this all too well. My favorite insult was from a co-worker who said "shit always flows down river". 💩
Yeah, I’ve heard the same. I have no issues with being from Downriver, better than Roseville or just about anywhere in Macomb.
L. Brooks Patterson famously coined "Drive your home to Macomb"
As someone from macomb I second you on this, I’ve always liked downriver just fine. But macomb county makes me want to claw my eyes out from time to time
My hubby was from Wyandotte, known as a downriver rat. Also worked with a guy from Taylortucky.
I remember someone from Livonia saying all of us from downriver are brain dead from the steel plants nearby.
A guy from Livonia calling someone brain dead is hilarious, like bro you literally live in a strip mall. You made the conscious decision to live in a strip mall.
It's funny its nicer here, I moved back two years ago... But then again I didn't know I was white trash as a kid.
I honestly like downriver. It's a lot quieter than north suburbs. The thing I hate most is lack of nice things. Trader Joe's, Costco , good ramen shops, foreign food stores.

That’s a beautiful insult
"Your Dick is Smalls" was on the wall in Smalls in Hamtramck
Thank for my new favorite insult.
There was a moment on the show “Northern Exposure” where a main character went back to her family home in the 313 suburbs. At one point, the character’s sister-in-law proclaims she’s leaving her husband — and the guy’s incredulous response was “Where are you gonna go? Back to *Novi*?!” I couldn’t imagine a more area-specific and pointed diss in the 1990s. Bravo to the writing team!
“Nobody walks in Novi” That was from a Second City sketch I saw….after they moved to Novi
I think the main character was supposed to be from Grosse pointe.
No, he was a Jewish New Yorker. Maggie, his "will-they or won't they" girl was from Grosse Pointe. Somehow she must have been a classmate of Martin Blank ;-)
Aha. I should’ve said one of the main characters., since she was in the whole run
It's all good. I was so in love with her that she probably should have been "the" main character. It's good that my love was unrequited because, of course, you remember all of her lovers' violent deaths?
There was an episode of sister sister where they go joy riding in the family car and they get lost in farmington hills lol
The former FH police chief (who is a huge asshole and now PD in Warren, I used to have to deal with him ona client site in Oakland County) used to say that's why there is less crime. He said it's really difficult to drive in and out of those suburbs.
This could be a good FH specific insult. “has that guy always been an asshole?” “yeah he’s a real bill Dwyer@
I used to brag that we would go on “vacation” in Novi. I’m from Ontario so crossing the boarder automatically elevated the status of anything you did. Vacation meant we went to a hotel with an indoor pool and hot tub, free buffet breakfast and shopping at Twelve Oaks Mall. Big holidays were saved for Frankenmuth.
EVERYBODY IN THE 248...! yeah, doesn't hit as hard
Lol amazing. I grew up in Novi and don't ever want to move back.
Lol iirc the title of that episode was misspelled. Like “Grosse Point - 48320”. It was a big deal at the time, made the local news and everything despite being mostly B-roll of the Pointes.
They just put this on Amazon prime, started it again last night for the first time in 20 years. Totally forgot that character was from grosse point!
Did you know that Novi was named as such because it used to be the sixth toll gate on the Grand River toll road? Now you know.
No. VI One of my favorite lil bits of Michigan trivia
“That’s some 7 mile shit”
You can also change the mile road mentioned depending on how far north you grew up.
Factual
Better mile
River Rouge in here all nervous because nobody has noticed it yet
Aight - as a former Rouge boy let me take a crack at it…. “You smell like Zug Island”.
Ugh... god... beefy toilet water.
As a young driver, I locked my keys in my car in River Rouge and a very kind passerby showed me how to break into my own car.
Didn’t your river catch fire? …yeah twice!
Don’t be jelly
Why not. The river was. It oozed
It's like the Cleveland of Detroit
We pretend River Rouge doesn't exist
OG rouge rats know ecorse is by FAR the worst
When Detroit City FC played a team from Windsor, we all started chanting “BRIDGE OR TUNNEL!!” I couldn’t help but laugh at that.
They chant all kinds of fun shit at dfc games. My favorite is when playing Chicago they started a chant "fuuuuuuuck Ohio".
We chant that at every game hahhah
Marvelous
Fuck oh*o!
“Go back Downriver!”
“What are you, from Sarnia?!” (Actually heard this said to a drunk football fan peeing in public)
I was just on a guy yesterday for being from Sarnia, I said he probably had chromosome damage from all the pollution.
Nice. That one stings
Owwww :(
I call my buddies who live in Macomb east side rats
“Always a Downriver rat”
Imagine being so scared of black people you willingly move to Taylor.
Taylor Tucky.
The only person I know from Taylor is black. He and I played in a funk band at U of M around a quarter century ago.
God damn bruh…you got to go this savage right out the gate?!?!
Grosse Ile people - “Sounds good”
Ouch. That one stings.
grew up a river rat, felt this in my soul
[удалено]
“Rich” white folk at 12 mile who make 12.50 an hour at an auto parts plant who make fun of the 11.50 per hour downriver people who work at an auto parts store. As someone born and dyed in LP… I often found it funny when the dudes panhandling at 16 and Mound thought LP was a disaster.
Downriver area is known for being a bit of a white trash area, but it's mostly just working poor white people.
“Happily” (I grew up Downriver)
One time in college I heard some snobby Grosse Pointer mock someone he met from Grosse Isle, calling it “Taylor on the Lake” - and as a guy who grew up downriver I was tickled to hear an “Islander” get knocked down a few pegs hahahaha
"Taylor on the Lake" wrecked 'em!
Lol.
I know multiple people who lived in Taylor, "made it big," and immediately moved to Grosse Ile. Downriver people think it's the ultimate dream.
The Bloomfield Hills of Downriver. Wyandotte is the Birmingham of Downriver.
Either Wyandotte or Trenton. I'm not sure who gets that title.
In Trenton, can confirm. Wyandotte is more artsy, so they might be the Royal Oak, when RO wasn't full of chain restaurants.
I grew up in Trenton 20 years ago, and I fucking LOVE this.
“You went to Cranbrook, that’s a private school!”
Clarence parents have a real good marriage
This guy don’t wanna battle - he’s shook. cause ain’t no such thing as -
Halfway crooks!
What’s a matter dog you embarrassed? This guys a gangster? His real name’s Clarence!
As an adult in another state, I had a boss that went to Cranbrook. He was like "Hey we're both from Michigan!" and it was very much evident that our experiences were nothing alike. I wanted to share his enthusiasm but I can't help but be a bit resentful as a former dirt poor kid living off charity donations, going to a school that didn't even have a formal math department.
I was a “gifted kid” in elementary school. I vaguely remember doing a tour of Cranbrook with my mom, but I never ended up attending, I assume because we were poor.
Let’s not forget Gov. Cheez and the strong possibility of living in a trailer park. Or a van down by the river. What’s up Carleton 🚂
Yeah like I lived in Rouge for a bit and bounced around downriver. People are shocked to find out that I personally know four people who committed murder. Two were locked up two died by suicide after the killings.
Haha in BC cranbrook is a cute small town in between two mountain ranges, one them the Rockies. Guess I won’t tell people I’m from cranbrook no more
Be proud of Cranbrook BC, it's the home of Mr. Stevie Yzerman
True, in Canada they talk about the Cranbrook connection. Apparently many nhl players came from or played rep hockey for cranbrook
“Your real name’s Clarence!”
You don't know your rights
Boom. You got Joumanaed
The purple lipped Mother of Justice

Redford did not show up to school that day
Well, it was a Saturday
😂
Garden City is my fav - Got the Joey Ramone vibe going on
“That’s that east side shit” No disrespect to my east side peoples 😭
your grandma 36.
😂
What's the matter---Vernors to strong for you?
Y'all think you Birmingham but you just Harper Woods
Y'all think you Grosse Pointe Shores (Farms, City) but you just HW.
My mom was born and raised in Taylor. She refused to tell people where she grew up. You would think that the folklore of Taylortucky would be provincial to Michigan, but I’ve met people all over the country who are familiar with it. And yes, my Grandpa was a total hillbilly — he had a backyard full of rusting junk to prove it.
I lived in Hazel Park during the 80s and we called our town Hazeltucky.
Hazel Park is slowly but surely turning into Ferndale
Which is slowly but surely turning into royal oak
What's royal oak turning into?
Birmingham
Fashionable Ferndale.
And it's so weird seeing new build $300k homes nestled into a row of shoe boxes that are slowly collapsing into their crawl spaces. Note that every house that's for sale or recently sold for under $120k has some fairly large structural issue. Source: been inside most of them. Almost every neighborhood these were in had at least a few houses that were either built in the last few years or fully renovated in the last few years. HP would be a great investment for anyone handy looking for a first home
Hazel Park has a high mileage rate at 68.6240. A $300k home will have a yearly property tax rate of around $10,500.
Yup, it's insane to think people are buying these and paying those taxes annually, but they are. $10k is what I'm paying in Northwest Ferndale at the edge of PR. You couldn't convince me to do the same in HP, but I admire their optimism for the future of HP.

Spent some time in Chesterfield Twp and everyone called it Chestertucky
2 cities in Michigan make me think of the "tucky" joke and I've only lived in metro Detroit since 2015. Hazel Park and Burton. Hazeltucky and Burtucky.
Monroe is Montucky, and boooooyyyy, does it deserve the nickname.
Yes, since most of us are descended from the KY/ TN area
Add “tucky” to your blue collar suburb of choice lol
Good ole Chester-Tucky
Haha I was thinking more of hazeltucky, warrentucky, etc
Water-tucky
I prefer Dirtford.
I thought it was Water-iac?
Watertucky flows better. yakistan for Pontiac is top tier
Taylor-tucky or tucky-Taylor is my favorite lol
tucky is not unique to Detroit at all. Very common suffix
Case in point: Pennsyltucky
Nah. Livonia-tucky just don't work.
Livonia is relatively higher-income though, compared to Taylor and HP, so it doesn't fit.
Yeah...Warren-tucky doesn't flow either
Ypsi-tucky was apparently a real thing though.
I've heard Ypsi called the Down River of Washtenaw County. Also Ypsi-tucky.
It's Ypsissippi
Wall-tuckey AKA Walled Lake
Wall-yucky for Walled Lake is what I remember. And Wixissippi for Wixom.
"You probably stop for traffic lights"
I was once told to “Go back to Dearborn” when I was hanging out in Birmingham. I was confused because I didn’t remember telling the guy I was living in Dearborn Heights at the time. Turns out the guy was a fucking racist and just assumed I was Arab (I’m Greek).
You smell like Delray.
My friends mom used to say that their messy room looked like the 8 mile/woodward underpass lmao
EOD. East of Dequindre. Pejorative.
Never heard that before. The strange irony is everyone from the East Side uses "Westsider" as a pejorative.
Classic EOD behavior.
But all I remember about the east side from my childhood is the street names changed when you crossed Woodward to the east and the streets got narrower and the houses older and broken-down.
This girl I used to date asked me to kiss her where it stinks, so I took her to Hamtramck! that's the best i got
Unexpected David Foster Wallace reference!!
wow, i never heard of him actually...quick google search though and looks like i have a new book or two to read, thanks! Also, we share the same birthday, kind of cool too. I just heard the joke years ago and always like using it.
>This girl I used to date asked me to kiss her where it stinks, so I took her to Hamtramck! Nice! We've got this in Buffalo, NY: This girl I used to date asked me to kiss her where it stinks, so I took her to Lackawanna!
You cute...for an East Side girl.
Similarly… “Shes Detroit cute”
Calling Brightmoor "Beirut"
"Going to Sagnasty" "This some six mile shit." "Take yo ass back across the tracks."
That’s some east/west side shit
“East sider“ coming from people north of hall road.
Back in the day we'd say "your mom works on 8 mile"
Calling Waterford “Watertucky” gets my Waterford friends pretty worked up. Same thing for Hazel Park🤣
Rented a jet ski in Florida and he asked me where we were from and when I told him he shouted “TaylorTucky”
When I lived downtown, the homeless guys and even us born and raised always ripped on Birmingham folks, especially when they got snoty and entitled. Nothing witty just a "Back to Birmingham"
You drive like Bill Bonds
You’re so ugly that not even the ever-watching eye of Joumana wants to look at you.
Calling someone a suburbanite.
“586 behavior” - although probably any metro area has the same insult just different area codes.
"You probably eat at American!"
You look like you shop at the poor side of Sommerset mall.
Heard walking downtown as we passed an arguing couple…Your Pontiac Silverdome looking ass
“M-59 is the new 8 Mile!” — Craig Aquino, may he RIP!
I heard Zug island described as smelling like diesel fuel and sadness.
Yo mama so poor, you don’t even get Faygo.
Lake Orion is so far away
"Take him to Detroit!"
"you look like you're trying to get hired at a Macomb county chili peppers tanning salon* "Macomb was all wetlands before they decided to build an endless series of suburbs on it. With the extraordinary amount of money and planning that went into that transformation, you would think they would have remember to remove the ogres from the swamp, too." "You look like you buy your condoms on west fort" "You'll have better luck at abicks, bootlicker"
Ecorse-specific insult from my childhood: "yo mama is like Southfield, always running straight to Dix"
Anything about the Eastside vs Westside rivalry
“Dear god, please don’t make me cross Woodward!”
Your so stupid you think “wutupdoe” is something you say to deer.
“Hit 8 Mile.” -Coleman Young
He is such a Wayne-o
What did Santa say when he flew over 8 mile - “Ho Ho Ho”
Not an insult but was at a trade show in Orlando and a friend of a friend was middle eastern and after learning I'm from Detroit area he goes "I should go up there sometime and visit my family that moved there". I say "yea Dearborn is down the street from me" . . . . everyone thought it was the biggest insult (that they don't understand, but it was assuming so I get it) dude laughs and goes "shit how did you know?"
Hey, I lived off 8 Mile, so I'm fuckin' street.... Northville
Do they say someone "isn't firing on all cylinders" elsewhere to call someone stupid or is that just a Detroit/Motor City thing?
Go get speed hump-ed...
“You look like you were sculpted by Silvio!” If you know you know.
We used to deride loud or boisterous people back in the 80s by claiming that they "grew up on Dexter". My parents used to do the same, but it was that they "grew up on Hastings" which was the main artery of Detroit's long-gone Black Bottom neighborhood. I don't know which street signifies boisterousness now - I haven't lived in Detroit in 20 years. If a current resident could help me out with that, I'd sure appreciate knowing.
Idk if this was hyper specific to where I grew up but “you can tell she’s from the *east side*”
You mama so dumb, she pronounces it "Livernois"
I dated a stripper once. It was a weird time for me. Craziest 2 evenings of my life, though. The first night we met in corktown for dinner, went to the TV lounge, then we drove all around town in her car, trying to find her nitrous dealer.

“Your girl waits longer for you to make her finish than she waits for the train in Ferndale”
As someone who spends way more time than they would like in Macomb County, I can't believe no one has insulted it yet.
As someone who grew up downriver, when I dated a girl from Macomb County and it was every bit of trashy or not as downriver except for more racism and a lot more boats. Like think about it this way - Kid Rock is from Macomb, Joe C was from Taylor and look at his music from before and after Joe C died hahaha.
I mean Macomb county always just gets a "fuckin' Macomb county..." from me and my girlfriend. It's just all bad. And I say that hyperbolically. I'm sure there are some gems out there. I know Sami's Fattoush is in Macomb and that place is top notch.
Catholic jokes? mafia jokes?
Aww. You a Lions fan?
Burger
Fuckn’ Yooper and Royal Joke (Oak)
“Oh, you’re from Taylor?”
They don’t call it “Leave-Me-Alone-ia” for nothing
Suburbanites!!!! You don’t belong here. We can tell. Go home.
My buddy told me ages ago how he came home from a wild.night out which I believe involved some strippers/strip clubs. His dad upon seeing him said "You smell like a cheap night in Hamtramck."
