Alan Shearer Island

The patch of hair seperate from the rest of the hair on the head of a man in the middle of male pattern baldness. Like a follicular version of the Oxbow lake. Named after Newcastle and England striker Alan Shearer, this term was popularised by radio DJ's Mark and Lard in the late nineties.

Other people sporting the Alan Shearer Island include Jim Robinson from Neighbours and Steve McDonald from Coronation Street.

Staten Island

Yes its known as the forgotten borough, Yes some people have tanning issues, and there are italian people here but there are also russian, african american, asian, spanish, irish, german, and many other cultures here to. To generalize a place without having an open mind is considered steryotyping. True life staten island was a terriable example of how people live here. North Shore and South Shore are deffinatley different but the people can be considered the same. The south shore is more suburbs and the north more urbanized. People on the north and south shore both have jobs or dont and we are all suffering with the economy today so to say that south shore people are rich is just ignorant. Staten Island like any other borough has its good parts and bad parts some people are less fortunate then others but hey thats life happens everywhere. Staten island honestly has nothing to do. Yes theres movie theaters (so old) and ice skating rinks that everyone went to for fun durning junior high (played out) and besides that theres nothing fun about this island. the mall is were people also go to just hang out and window shop which is rediculous.

Queens kid: Hey where you from?
Staten Island kid: Staten Island or the Island of Hell
Queens kid : Ha the forgotten borough

long island

island east of new york city, consisting of queens, brooklyn, nassau, and suffolk, but most commonly just referred to as suburban counties nassau and suffolk. tons of gorgeous beaches, lighthouses, harbors, and cutesy towns, not to mention fire island and the hamptons. a lot of stuff to see and do in spring, summer and fall. charactarized by an abundance of strip malls, 24-hour diners and 7-11's, and great school districts. suffolk in particular boasts alot of nature preserves, and there are some farms as you get further east although in no way is it hillbilly-ish. the north shore tends to be affluent, most of the south shore is less so, and is not somewhere you want to spend time. but it does cost twice as much to live ANYWHERE on LI then it does in pretty much any other state, so the stereotype of long island being rich isn't necessarily false. long islanders can be cocky, but we have good reason!! its a great place to grow up, in the shadow of the greatest city in the world but with every benefit of the suburbs. you are never more than 20 minutes away from a beach or a mall. not to mention the awesome pizza and bagels that wont be found anywhere besides new york. and yea, we have accents, and we love em so deal with it. long island kids tend to go away to school and realize they are just a little bit better than everyone else... LONG ISland is the best place to live!!!!

that girls bangin and has the best wardrobe, and shes always so damn suntanned! she must be from long island

Falkland Islands

A small group of islands, controlled by the government of the United Kingdom in the south atlantic close to argentina.

in 1982 the Argentinians invaded the falkland islands, believeing that they belong to them.

this resulted in the British Navy being sent to defend the islands in a war that cost the lives of 1000 service men from Argentina and the United Kingdom.

The islands were successfully recaptured, and the falkland islands is now considerd one of the last parts of the British Empire .
