infinite jest

DFW's masterpiece otherwise known as the pinnacle of postmodern literary snobbery. At a whopping 1,000+ pages (some editions even reach 1,500 pages), 300+ footnotes, and a cast of characters comparable to Tolstoy's mammoth of a novel, War and Peace, Infinite Jest is everyman's trophy of intellectual-ish greatness.
Wow, you actually read Infinite Jest? Boy are you mad!

New Jersey Jest

The New York Jets. New Jersey Jest is a more appropriate name for the team because:
1) They play in the Meadowlands a.k.a. Giants Stadium, which is in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Yes, the Jest is so pitiful that they actually play in a stadium named for another NFL team.
2) The team is a joke - or in other words, a jest.

Also called the New York or New Jersey Puddle Jumpers (since "Jets" is a bit of an overstatement given the team's performance).
After Chad Pennington and Kellen Clemens led them to a series of embarrassing losses in 2007, the New Jersey Jest toyed with the idea of bringing back legendary quarterback Joe Namath...at the age of 64.

In Italian, the last name of head coach Eric Mangini is the masculine plural form of "mangina".
