Dursley

Dursley is a town in Gloucestershire, England.

The name gained wider recognition through J.K.

Rowling's Harry Potter series, where the Dursleys are Harry's unpleasant muggle relatives—the family name suggesting their dull, suburban narrow-mindedness.

Someone called a Dursley exhibits similar traits: smug conformity and hostility toward anything unusual.
