Acre

26th state in Brazil, was bought from Bolivia some time ago. Most brazillians joke about the people who live there, because apparently they live in the past: most common jokes are that there are living dinosaurs in Acre, or that the electricity is provided by Pikachus. One fact that may have helped to create those stereotypes is that Acre and some other cities near it are in UTC -5, for example when it's 10 am in Acre, it's 3 pm in London. Also, for being situated in a relatively equatorial zone, it doesn't have DST during summer, whereas in Rio or São Paulo, Brazil's two biggest cities, it's UTC -2, or, when it's 9 am in Rio, it's 11 am in London

“Did you hear? My friend is moving to Acre. I hope he doesn't get eaten by a dinosaur…”

40 Acres and a mule

Used as a response to a promise that will obviously not be kept. After the Civil War, the U.S. government promised freed slaves “40 acres and a mule” as part of land redistribution plans under General William T. Sherman’s Special Field Order No. 15.

"Didn't you hear? They're going to forgive everyone's student loan debt"
"Yeah, 40 acres and a mule too".
