Noun: a 238-ton whaling ship, based out of Nantucket Island (USA), famously sunk on November 20, 1820 in an encounter with "Mocha Dick", an albino sperm whale defending his pod against human predation. Incident widely acknowledged as the direct inspiration for Herman Melville's 1851 novel "Moby-Dick, or The Whale".
"Following the second hull strike by Mocha Dick, the Essex crew had only minutes to provision the surviving boats and cast-off before the ship sank."

A county in the South East of England, it is known predominantly for sales of Ford Escorts, and the additional "mods" that make these vehicles "tits". Heavily populated with Essex Girls, a civilisation all of their own, surviving mainly on the water content of alcopops and ingesting mainly proteins, ahem. Essex Boys are known for their smugness, usually because they get laid with far more frequency than their Northern counterparts.

Home of the sluts, and chavs. Essex in the UK is totally populated by them, and you can't go to a club without the threat of being stabbed, or getting drunk and getting a girl pregnant.
Essex has its ups aswell. It does have some ok places.
But do not go to Essex for a holiday.

Blue class neighborhood in Maryland on the Chesapeake Bay that now, when the middle class that use to work in the steel mills is disappearing and all of the rich muthaf*&%ers from Washington, D.C. want to buy the property and put their boats on it.
