Bright lights, mid-sized city

Drunk women caterwaul. I live in the heart of the nightlife district of a city always full of tourists. Get a couple of sissy drinks in them, and gals who wouldn't think of saying something untoward at home in Toledo squall out long and hard on the streets of Music City. 

Throw in the locals, including college students from Nashville's 957 institutions associated with a niche religion (Send your budding Church of Christ-ers here!). These mostly Southern girls raised on the idea of female submissiveness and a literal hell can get pretty wild on a Saturday night. Beyond the usual "I am soooo drunk," I hear stuff like "Kill him, Brandon!" and "I don't give a good gee-dee what my daddy says!" Yep. That is a serious statement in the South, y'all.
