Q. Why do we call a backward place a "jerkwater" town?
A. Steam engines needed to refill their boilers from water towers next to the tracks but some "towns" were so small
that they lacked a water tower. When trains stopped in
those places, the crew had to find a nearby stream or well
and, bucket-brigade style, "jerk" the water to the train.
When someone is by themself, and to passtime, jerks off as many times as possible in one day.
Dharshan:Chris you look so tired today. What happened?
Chris:Well, I was up all last night.
Dharshan:Chris! You gotta knock it off with all these midnight jerkathons!
