The movie "Breaking Away" is set in a college town. (University of Indiana?)
The local industry is architectural stone cutting. The students use the term
"cutter" like "towny" as a depreciating way to refer to people who live in the
town.
In the movie, the protagonists were "cutters" and the antagonists were "preppy"
students from out of town. The father of the main bike-riding protagonist was
in fact a former stone cutter who ran a used car lot.
