"Scruffy and depressing" or a "unique" city which "outsiders should respect"- it turns out that Bristol is quite the talking point online.

Urban Dictionary is a website which lets users upload their own - frequently rather strange - descriptions of words, phrases and places online.

So we thought we'd take a look at what people had to say about our beautiful city.

And it's fair to say the definitions were... mixed.

Let's start with the positives eh?

The good

One person wrote: "Compared to other cities this is a unique one, loads of bars and clubs, pub, cinema, ice rink, rock climbing, abseiling, canoeing and activities to choose from here.

"Bristol is very hectic and lively on weekends with a great atmosphere and on the weekdays a few bars and clubs still manage to be livo.

"Outsiders to Bristol should respect the history, land, people and the ground on which they walk," - we quite agree!

Aaaaand then it kind of goes downhill from there.

The bad

Another person writes: "Bristol is a south west England city that fancies itself as up-and-coming despite the fact that it is mainly inherited by braying ex-public school students and backward yokels."

It goes on to say: "The town centre is a scruffy, depressing little set of streets and the city has a tedious one way system.

"Bristol's main problem is that it thinks it's much better than it is. Ultimately it's just a s****y little city with delusions of grandeur."

The downright weird 

One person wrote: "Going shopping in Aldi when you're Bristolian is very shameful because your friends at lunchtime will be super rude about it... justice for Aldi."

Yeah - we don't really know what to make of that.

Easton, Clifton and St Paul's

And it's not just the general city that is described - specific areas are also mentioned.

Easton is described as "one of the best areas in Bristol if you're looking for some cannabis" which is known for its street parties, Clifton as "a posh place where people love the smell of their own farts" and St Paul's as "not the sort of place you would want to go at night".

All in all - not the best representation of how amazing this place is.

So if you have a spare 10 minutes on your hands - why not go and leave a more positive definition of our splendid city?
