Niffie

Niffie is an old Dutch street-slang word used to refer to a knife. It appeared mainly in older street culture and youth slang before modern slang terms became popular. The word is used in informal situations, often with a playful or slightly cautionary tone.

Etymology:
Derived from the English word knife. In street slang, knife shifted to nife → nif → niffie, with the “-ie” ending adding a typical Dutch informal sound.
Yo bro, why you walking around with a niffie on you?”. “Back in the day everyone said niffie, nobody really uses it anymore.”

Lake Newfield

A large puddle that, according to legend, forms in front of Newfield High School in Middle Country Central School District after a downpour. Unfortunately, distressed student tears do not count as downpours. (If they did, we'd have a lot more space to swim.)
