Mid-Atlantic accent 

One of the following

a) A British person who has lived in North america for long enough to start speaking with an accent that is on first sounding american (although there is a slight hint that they are British when thier accent slips), but when in the company of his/her fellow countryman/woman will start to speak properly. Usually, these people did not have strong accents in the first place.

b) A north american who has emigrated to the UK and has started to sound like the local people, but still has a slight twang.

Mid-Atlantic accents suck. Very much. They give me a headache.

nutcracker 

In military history, a nutcracker is where two nations, either side of a strong one attack on both fronts, making it near impossible for the cracker'd country to win. This was how world war II was won, when the soviet union attacked Germany, eventually pushing it inwards. The best defence against this is to merely use a small battalion of guerilla-styled troops to bombard all the attack points of the weaker and less enthusiastic enemy with long range weaponry, while taking the main army to the main enemy. The weaker enemy will just camp up while the stronger enemy, disheartened to hear the nutcracker did not work, will have to go solo.

The French attempted to nutcracker the English and Welsh by means of alliance with Scotland. When the countries united in 1705, the new United Kingdom was an almost invincible force on home territory.
