Common speech in Boca Raton FL consists of what had happened the night before, what gossip was happening in the city, and where they were going to go shopping that day. Boca Raton FL is considered one of the wealthiest places in South Florida and its only because the people they are raised and given everything they could ever imagine without having to work as hard. Boca Raton's speech is like a blond Barbie doll who had just gotten her hair and makeup done and out of no where it starts to down pour on her head, ruining her beautiful hair and makeup she spent hours in the salon getting done. The people in Boca Raton are self absorbed and arrogant, everyone really only cares about themselves. I'm not saying that no one in Boca has a heart, I'm saying that the only heart that people in Boca Raton care about is their own. Exceptions would have to be people who are just living in their vacation homes or people who recently started a family there, and even those people are slowly getting sucked into Boca's fakeness. I love Boca but it definitely isn't one of the "nicest" places to live, of course minus the beautiful beaches that you cannot resist. Boca can most likely be considered a step down from Beverly Hills but its not far behind.
Even though I'm not from Boca, I have to say that i totally agree with you. I live in Fort Lauderdale, and ever since I could remember I always thought of Boca Raton to be a place filled with snobby people, who was all about their money, cars, and clothes. I like the fact that you used the metaphor of Boca being a step down from Beverly Hills, because one you go there, you realize how true your statement is. I must admit that you guys have some of the best shopping places and and lunch/dinner areas, despite the fact that they may be a little over priced. Another thing I can definitely agree on, is the beaches! Personally, I think that South Florida has some of the best beaches in the state.
