Pine Hill Salute

A form of hand sign used by the San Jose CA based Pine Hill school (for children with learning problems) in the 1980s to mock the crazier students.

The salute requires the tongue to be hanging out to the right or left, trying to reach the ear, while making the 'Pine Hill School' or 'Pine Hill Prison' catch phrases. While doing this, thump the chest with a limp salute, straight fingered, out from the elbow.

Since the school and the spin offs since still exist, so does the salute, and it is a a form of suburban fake gang signing popularized by a subset of the infamous Covert clique which was indirectly continued by the super dorky Minions later on.

Often repeated on short or long transit vehicles in the current era without the people realizing it originated with Pine Hill, not Valley Christian High, who took it to be theirs.
Dorky suburban kids who make fun of their friends might use it, or to make fun of their enemies, like a secret sign.

Pine Hill Salute. Noun.

Jack: That guy is flaiing his hand on his chest and sticks his tongue out like a fool.

Jill: Nah, that's the Pine Hill salute. It's nostalgic.

Jack: Like where, San Francisco?

Jack: Nah, San Jose.
Jack: As if that's worse.

Agoura Hills, CA

A small southern California city in Los Angeles County. It has a population of 20,000 and life here is somewhere in-between living in a charming small town, and EVERYTHING WRONG with a suburb. It's filled with nice but clueless adults and cool but sketchy teens. If many people would take five seconds to look away from the big houses and palm trees, you would see that it's not uncommon to find a used needle next to the sidewalk or have a bottle thrown at you while walking through a parking lot.

The Haunting Of Hill House

An incredible show, perhaps one of the best, with a terrifying story, awesome acting, mind-blowing cinematography and full of emotions.
Guy 1: "Whoa, that scare was insane. Also, did you notice that ghost in the background?"

Guy 2: "There's been a hella lot of hidden ghosts in basically every episode of The Haunting Of Hill House."

(There really is a lot of hidden ghosts).

Squirrel Hill, Pittsburgh

This neighborhood in Pittsburgh is by far the best neighborhood to live in. Everyone knows everyone and the drama between friends is crazy. All groups of friends know each other and party together yet they all hate each other on the inside. You either belong to Beth Shalom or aren't Jewish but everyone thinks you are. Everyone is rich here and shows off their money with huge partys for their bar/bat mitzvah. Parents think their kids are little angels and will give them whatever they want, and the kids like it this way.
Overall, the best place to live!
