VILLE

Suffix. Derived from the French ville meaning town and added to nouns and adjectives to intensify a certain quality, such as shitsville (a particularly awful situation), cheeseville (very trite). The origins of such combinations occurred during the beatnik and hippy counterculture years of the late 1950s and 1960s in the U.S. E.g."It was a club full of gorgeous people, sheer sexville."
