"The Lake" is a nickname (and in popular usage) for the relatively working-class section of the otherwise upper-middle-class and outright affluent City of Newton.
This area is, arguably, the most "Christian," notably Catholic, in Newton (I am not being Anti-Semitic; much of Newton, especially the southern and western parts, are predominantly Jewish). Residents are also, generally, more conservative than those in other parts of 'liberal' Newton.
The Lake gets its name from a now dredged Silver Lake and a popular ballroom which had the same name. Most residents are Italian-American and, to a lesser degree, Irish-American, though "yuppies" are starting to move in for its relatively (for Newton) inexpensive home prices.
Known for a type of slang called "Lake Speak," spoken by some older residents. Please refer to the "Boston Globe" archives for more information. Last, but not least, one of the few sections of Newton where genuine Boston accents ('dropped R's, words such as cahn't, bahthroom, etc.) can be commonly heard.

He lives in Newton and drives a Ford Taurus and speaks with a Boston accent. Must be from The Lake (Newton, MA).
One will see many bumper stickers, usually on Buicks, Chryslers, Dodges, and Mercurys (and usually driven by older people) commemorating "The Lake (ballroom)," with the colors of the Italian Flag on it.
People who think of Newton as an affluent, predominantly Jewish city where most adults hold graduate degrees are surprised to hear of a neighborhood (The Lake) that has more in common, socio-economically, with Malden or Quincy than with areas of Newton south of the Mass Pike.

Referring to any of Newton's three main laws of physics.
-An object in motion/not in motion will stay that way unless acted on by an outside force (also known as inertia).
-The force of an object is equal its mass times its acceleration (also known as F=MA)
- When one mass exerts a force on another mass, the other mass exerts a force equal in magnitude but opposite in direction (also known as the Action/Reaction law)
-An object in motion/not in motion will stay that way unless acted on by an outside force (also known as inertia).

Dude 1: You gotta understand dude, what goes up must come down.

Dude 3: No, That's what Newton said
Dudes: TWNS!!!

The gourgeous granddaughter of physicist Max Born. Also one of the best singers ever. Star of "Grease."
Singers who die young forever remain fresh and vibrant. Too bad Olivia Newton -John wasn't killed in some horrible accident 30 years ago...
