Aroostook County is the most northerly area of Maine and is therefore well above the 45th parallel, so I strongly doubt that the residents of the Allahgash area would be likely to wear heat-deflecting white robes or turbans the way they would in their sweltering home-countries.

A severe malady of the throat/lungs caused by the over-use of euphemisms. More serious than emphasisema --- a somewhat-similar but less-acute/chronic coughing/wheezing condition caused by habitually speaking urgently/loudly about unimportant topics --- it is generally only treatable by diligently avoiding all forms of "meaningless adjectives", even the "milder" or "imitation" phrases.
Although euphemisema is a serious disease, it is still morally-preferable to using actual swear words, since this can cause even more horrid effects on those within earshot. Therefore is it less selfish to"take one for the team" and get sick yourself , rather than searing others' tender eardrums with a perpetual potty-mouth.

Refers to a giggly "imitation" racket dat a small child gleefully makes after hearing a grownup undertake a jarringly-loud activity, such as hammering, drilling, sawing, filing, etc.
Classic examples of "second-generation noise" would be if a youngster watches his parent or a visiting neighbor driving nails and then starts happily yodeling, "Bam-bam-bam-bam!" while pounding his fist on anything within reach around the house, or hollers, "ZzhEEEh-ukhkhahw, zzhEEEh-ukhkhahw, zzhEEEh-ukhkhahw, zzhEEEh-ukhkhahw..." (accompanied by vigorous back-and-forth motions with his forearm against various objects) after he witnesses someone raspingly slicing up boards or plywood with a crosscut saw.

Da famous "upper-echelon" dude from da National Automobile Dealers Association who penned da notorious totally-off-da-charts-popular-at-da-time-of-first-printing book "Unworthy At Any Price" about overall quality and value --- or lack thereof! --- of various contemporary vehicles.
Vehicle pricing and quality have varied over the years, so perhaps Ralph NADA should publish an updated "second edition" printing of his well-known consumer-protection-type literary work.
