Croydon as adjective

Roman Holiday

This researcher is not actually Martin Smith, but is from Croydon, and despite it's inherent pointlessness ( being directly between London and Brighton, it can be seen purely as a stopoff point ), it apparently does have some use in the english language. I'm not sure as yet how relaxed I'm allowed to be with words here, but I'm sure that the guide's censors will censor/kill/gently rebuke me if I go too far... The point is that in a recent interview ( recent if you're going from left to right, of course ) singer David Bowie ( a Croydonian ) put across the idea that Croydon, as well as being souless and depressing, should actually be used ( the word, that is ) as a descriptive adjective, and not a flattering one. As in, "that's so f**king Croydon..."

Croydon also has naked samuari pyschos attacking people in churches, which should't really happen, certainly in any post/zipcode that begins with C. ( S**t, Combulane.. )

I did use 'Rotherham' once as an adjective to descible a young lady who was annoying me with trying to turn our shared student flat-type home into a replica of the IKEA catalogue whilst placing dead cacti everywhere. Mind you, having been there perhaps it is not the right adjective as they probably don't go in for that kind over that side of the Pennines. Possibly 'Coulsdon' is better.

The naked samurai was in Thornton Heath, not Croydon.

Croydon doesn't even have naked samurai!

An I thought I'd be in for some English revelations. Check out my adjectives.
Croydon is nice as is Thornton's Heath.
