A phenomenon generated by, but not limiting to, the bowling of Thomas Cookson. North Atlantic Drift (or NAD as an abbreviated term) is the action to which a cricket ball 'drifts' towards a batsmen whilst in the air, lulling them into playing the ball to the leg side. However, contrary to physics and cricketing norms, when the ball pitches it turns viciously to the off side, leaving the batsmen dumbfounded, perplexed and more often that not on his/her way back to the pavilion.

A Mid-Atlantic accent is specifically developed to sound neutral among American and British accents. Such accents used to be usual among the upper social classes of many cities in eastern North America, especially New York City (where it is sometimes called the "Locust Valley lockjaw" after the home of American President Franklin Roosevelt, who spoke with such an accent), Boston (where it is sometimes called a "Harvard accent" or "Boston Brahmin accent"), Philadelphia (where it is sometimes called a "Main Line accent"), and Baltimore. In fact, it formed a required segment of the education to be had at most of America's most prestigious schools until as late as 1950. In Britain, it has been most often affected by businessmen, intellectuals, and members of academia who seek or support a special Anglo-American relationship in areas of culture and commerce.
Mid-Atlantic accents have been popular in the entertainment industry. On the television program, "Frasier," the characters Frasier and Niles Crane speak with a Mid-Atlantic accent developed in the American city of Seattle. The iconic American actor, Katharine Hepburn, also spoke with a Mid-Atlantic accent developed in Connecticut, a short distance northeast of New York City. Another actor and icon, Cary Grant, spoke with a different Mid-Atlantic accent developed in Bristol on England's west coast.

A small town east of Jacksonville, FL. It is populated by mostly wealthy older people who think that all those without said age or money do not belong in their town. Thinly veiled racism and elitism abound.
The city is divided into segments as follows: 1.)There is the ghetto known as Royal Palm/Mayport, this is an embarrassment to all those not living there, commonly forgotten when speaking of AB. 2.)There is the old part of the town populated by people who just want the 32233 zip code without having a decent house, mostly made of old beach homes converted to rental property. 3.)There is the ultra rich area composed of beachfront homes, Selva Marina and those streets north of approx 13th. In this final section you will find more blue-blood, than nouveau riche.
Save up your money son, and then someday you'll be able to rent half a duplex in Atlantic Beach, FL!
