Most densely packed city in New England, where gentrification is cleverly disguised as "beautifying the city." Where you can forfeit an entire salary on parking tickets alone. Where yuppies hold forum on the dire need for more coffee shops, where an entire arts display under a decrepit bridge was once pillaged overnight, where you can find every ethnicity on the face of the earth, where Davis square has become the mecca of yuppiedom, where Ikea will inevitably lure more traffic than an 18-wheeler jackknife at rush hour, where the most disturbing and bizarre crimes occur, and where Barack Obama once lived.
Yuppie - After having lived in Somerville for a total of 8 months, reading a few Somerville Journal and Wikipedia articles, and having a firmly vague grasp on the history of 'my' city, I shall make a hip definition to liberate the once somerville-barren urban dictionary.

Get the Somerville mug.N. A Philadelphia L-train stop that is notorious for it's open air drug market. Before even leaving the platform, one can hear addicts shouting "Works!"
If you come down they will try to sell you clean needles (works) or take you to the heroin dealer. The market is entirely open-air and is one of the reasons Philadelphia is hopeless, angry, and no longer the city of brotherly love,

A powerful sword, the "sword of the sun", created by the people of Sommerlund with the help of the god Kai, and usable only by a Kai Warrior. (In fact, the warrior must have the Kai Discipline of Sixth Sense). It appears in the Lone Wolf books written by Joe Dever.
If anyone else attempts to use the sword, many of its special powers are lost.
It is a large, glowing golden sword which gives off constant light.
Special powers resulting from possession of the sword include a huge increase in Combat Skill, extra damage to Undead and ability to harm a number of evil creatures immune to normal weapons, including Helghast and (crucially) Darklords. It is sometimes described as the only weapon capable of slaying a Darklord, although in some battles in the books this is patently untrue (since in Lone Wolf 12, the Darklord Gnaag can be harmed by zenjet-dulaaga and other magic weapons). At the end of Lone Wolf 2 and the novel version (Legends of Lone Wolf 3, or 4 in America), Lone Wolf lets loose a burst of sunlight channelled through the Sommerswerd, instantly slaying the Darklord Zagarna and putting to flight the army besieging the Sommlending capital, Holmgard.
The light emitted by the sword proves a liability in Lone Wolf 12: The Masters of Darkness, when Lone Wolf must travel into the Darklands themselves and slay the Darklord leader (the third in succession!), Gnaag. The light would draw enemies to him, so he has to keep the sword sheathed until he meets Gnaag himself, in a special scabbard prepared by the Elder Magi.
Less well-documented is the fact that the final battle of Lone Wolf 8: The Cauldron of Terror becomes virtually unwinnable if Lone Wolf is equipped with the Sommerswerd, whereas it is quite winnable with any other well-equipped character. (Fortunately, Lone Wolf can already leave the sword in safe-keeping at the Monastery if a player foresees this eventuality).
Additional powers appearing only in the Legends series include the production of an imaginary being able to appear only to the Kai Lord wielding the sword, who channels the wisdom of the sword's makers directly to this individual.
The name means "sword of the sun" in the invented language Sommlending (which seems to be based on old English).

Get the Ian Somerhalder mug.hell on earth. not lying. The teachers are shit, Mr.Callahan and Dr.Camara suck at their jobs, going to middle school there is an all around awful experience. Wouldn’t recommend sending your child to sms unless youre a strong believer in cruel and unusual punishment. Pretty much every child is bullied there but the school doesn’t help unless you play sports or have family on the school board because in that case your favorited. Plus they failed inspections so, YAY MOLD!!

Get the somerset middle school mug.A grotesque principal in a rural consultancy in Cambridgeshire with an IQ inferior to aged, crusted ejaculate. Inherently racist, small minded and with a back-stabbing nature, who sends emails to clients such as 'WTF?'. Loathed by all, and inexplicably retained by his employer.
Stace: Skid(mark) was off with me today, I don't know why.
Clarice: Oh, slimer probably stabbed you in the back for no apparent reason.
