To live in the country, far away from any major city or urban center. Living in Suburbia does not count.

Language- English, interspersed with poor grammar and lots of double negatives.
Contrast- concrete jungle,suburbs,city

An etymologist is a person who studies etymology.
Etymology is an account of the history of a particular word or element of a word.
Through old texts and comparisons with other languages, etymologists try to reconstruct the history of words — when they entered a language, from what source, and how their form and meaning changed.
An Etymologist is different then a philologist, one who studies linguistics and etymology.
Beware, those who are nescient often misuse and mispronounce'entymology' which is actually the study of insects!
(et-uh-mol-uh-jist)

SUSSEX COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE; A community college located in Sussex County, New Jersey.
It is a stepping stone to bigger, better colleges. People go there for 2 years for cheap, and then they go to Boston or PennState.
It is nicknamed "HARVARD ON THE HILL"
The motto is "Start here, go anywhere"
Local kids deem it as trash, saying that they would never attend. The irony is that 25% of local seniors end up going there.
Local kids can go for free if they are in the top 20 percentile in high school.
The soccer team is apparently ranked very high.
