Poser
The girl with the can of spinach tattooed on her arm would act like she was from the South Side of Chicago even though she wasn't even from Illinois and didn't live a day on Central time as a kid. She wanted to show people how much tougher she was than them, that was why she did all this poser stuff.

Suburban
What you find outside of Chicago, New York (Long Island, parts of North Jersey for example) LA (Orange County for example) or South/Central Florida. A lot of these areas have been suburban since World War 2 or shortly after, and have a lot of what you find in a city, but with a lower concentration of it, and without as much variety. These areas haven't been rural in a long time, but they're also not urban areas. Many cities in the South would be closer to small towns in other parts of the country around World War 2 and in the years after, with some of the port cities being like mid size port cities up North, but don't have much in common with cities up North otherwise, they are different parts of the country.
A housing development built in a corn field in the middle of nowhere isn't really suburban, it's just land developers built houses on. Suburban is a mindset and a way of life, usually it goes with an area that has been suburban since many generations before your generation lived there, since you'd have to meet somebody 100 years of age or older to hear anything about what the area was like before it was the suburbs.

Country
A lot of people who move from up north think they are moving to a suburban area down South exactly like where they were from, except they can get more house and more land for every dollar they make, and expect all the same amentities as they had where they were from. In reality, a lot of these houses weren't even there 20, 30 years ago, and were built on land where nobody lived before. Amenity wise, nothing was there because nobody lived there, it was the country. Most of the newer stuff was built for the people who moved there, and not for the people who were already there.

Machete
A guy that won't make cutting a guy in half with a machete look like an accident the way Dewey Cox would.

Bedrock
A lot of things called the bedrock of a community, or a gathering place, have either shut down, or burned to the ground in the past year. The good news, if there is any, is that no fire, whether small, or vast like a wildfire, lasts forever. A fire always runs out of fuel once there's nothing left for it to spread to, or burn.

Will Ferrell
No matter how stupid or gullible some companies think people are, they know that people are smart enough to know who they can trust, so they put a guy like Will Ferrell in their commercial to comfort people.
Will Ferrell makes people comfortable, where some of the people you see in commercials you know you wouldn't trust in real life, you know they have making money on their mind and not much else.
