Another term for the Appalachian Trail: the 2200 mile hiking path from Georgia to Maine. It is called the green tunnel because much of it lies in the low altitude deciduous forests of the east coast and the constant view looking down the trail is like looking through a "green tunnel."

1920's Betty Boop, caricturish, outdated notion of how New Jerseyians talk. Mostly propagated by middle of the country bumkins who have never left their home town.
Midwesterner1: I used to think people from Joisey all have big or slicked hair, live in an ethnic neighborhood and drive around in a Camaro. And when they weren't screaming at their girlfriend to Shut the Fuck Up they're stealin' somebodies hubcaps.
Midwesterer2: So, what changed your mind?
Midwesterner1: I went there.

Medium sized German island on the North Sea coast of Jutland. Ellenbogenspitze on it's north side is the most northerly point in Germany. Sylt is a very trendy and popular vacation spot for wealthy Germans but is almost unknown to anyone outside of Germany, Denmark or the low countries. It is an island of quiet farms, sheep pastures, picturesque thatched cottages and long stretches of protected sand dunes. In the summer, Sylt's beaches and spas team with vactioners and windsurfers during the day while at night Everyone goes out to bars and lounges in Westerland and Kampen. When winter settles in the island is a desolate, wind-scoured sand bar populated by a hardy crew of locals. Sometimes Sylters are thought of as being snobby to outsiders, but this usually directed toward the tourists and obnoxious summer crowd who clog up the roads and establishments and looking to score with any girl they can.
To an American, Sylt can be thought of as being is similar to the Hamptons in NY or Cape Cod in MA.

What most people call the dialect spoken in Staten Island, Bayonne and parts of Long Island. The actual Northern NJ accent today is a mellowed version of a New York Accent, which in itself has its origins in the original British accent. (As NY was a Tory region for so long.) NYers tend to drop their R's more than NJers but otherwise pronounce words like coffee and talk as (kawfey) and (tawk) And New York like Nu-yawk.)
With So many hundreds of thousands of people moving to and from the NYC metro area every year, The traditional Jersey Accent has all but disappeared.

The conservative slight-of-hand when defending outsourcing jobs by saying that it is not the role of private enterprise to solve the nations unemployment problem but rather to make profits for their shareholders. And then when discussing taxes, contradicting themselves by asserting that it is not the role of government to create jobs but for the private sector. Which is why they need massive tax breaks.
