That's not actually correct, JB. (I do love your upstate-bashing, though!) Originally Marble Hill was attached to Manhattan, but a canal was dug in the Harlem River which separated it from Manhattan and put it on the mainland. Though it has always been part of New York County, it is generally regarded as the Bronx. It looks like the Bronx, it feels like the Bronx, the address says Bronx, NY 10463, and the area code is 718.

Get the marble-head mug."Marble Mouth" is a slang term used to signify people who possess a slight speech impediment. It's hard to describe, but it certainly has nothing to do with location or cultural background like one definition ridiculously stated. It's not that they stutter - they don't necessary. But it's obvious that speaking is not their strong suit and they sound as if they have a mouth full of marbles. Marble mouths, more than anything, are highly annoying because you just want them to spit the words out already.
