crescent

Abbreviation of "crescent fresh," a term of excited approval pioneered on the 1990's MTV sockpuppet show Sifl and Ollie. Based on the slogan for Pillsbury pop-and-bake dinner rolls, this phrase was used by "Chester" as an ironic '90's variant of "fresh," itself an '80's adjective of excited approval apparently derived from produce commercials --- for instance, the Tropicana orange juice commercial that featured Olympic victor Bruce Jenner, saying: "Tropicana Pure Premium --- for me, it's freshest." Notice that this implies that "freshness" is not an actual measurement of the time it takes a typical carton of product to market; "freshness" is now an interpretive category: "FOR ME, it's freshest."

"Oh shit, your tape is CRESS. The jams are crescent fresh. I'm playing it and I feel SO CRESCENT."

Crescent City

The most northern harbor on the coast of California. Also, one of the most low-lying and smallest county seats in the state, the seat of Del Norte County. It holds the questionable distinctions of suffering more from tsunami than any other city in the 48 contiguous United States and being the locale of Pelican Bay.

Crescent City has a commercial fishing harbor, but not much of a shipping port.

La Crescenta

Pretty boring city in its self. There are so many druggies at Crescenta Valley High School that it made it on the LA news. There are some positive things about La Crescenta though. The main one being the fact that its not too far from the beach and its close to a lot of cities that aren't as boring. So basically, as long as you have a car, its an ok place to live. Kids who don't have a license will often take the bus to Montrose or the Glendale Galleria.

P.S. Beware of the kids from Rosemont Middle School. They are FREAKS.

I can't wait to get a car! Then I can get out of La Crescenta whenever i want!

crescent city

One of the many names for New Orleans, Louisiana. This name comes from the way the Mississippi River shapes the land where New Orleans is located; the river causes the major downtown and uptown areas of New Orleans to form a crescent shape.

This term is also used as a name for the toll bridge over the Mississippi River from New Orleans to the West Bank: "The Crescent City Connection."

Hurricane Katrina really hit the crescent city hard.
