Ballston Spa 

Ballston Spa, contrary to other definitions, is most possibly the most eventful town in upstate New York. We've got a bottle museum. Dude, who WOULDN'T want that? We got a spring. Sure you may have a spring in your town, but ours is better. Sure we have some rednecks. Sure I may be partially one. But rednecks have more fun riding lawn mowers in figure eights than accountants.

synonyms: fun, awesome, really cool place
antonyms: boring, lazy town
related words: B-Spa, be there
Yo! I just went to Ballston Spa and had a revelation. B-Spa Be there!

Ballston Lake 

Small lake town in Upstate New York, also a bit of a hidden gem. Cooler than all of Burnt Hills, Charlton and Glenville combined. The people that live there are all alcoholics and Dave Matthews Band fans. A place where rednecks and people who can afford to drop 100 grand on a boat live in harmony. Residents of Ballston Lake are generally fun, humble people who are also batshit crazy.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
