Newfane Cousin 

Newfane is a small town in Niagara County, New York, and the citizens of this fine town have a habit of referring to family friends/acquaintances/neighbors as their "cousins", "aunts", or "uncles"; when no blood or marital relation exists.
Someone: "My cousin/aunt/uncle is coming into town this weekend and we're having a party."

Me: "Is it your real cousin/aunt/uncle, or is it a Newfane cousin/aunt/uncle? "
A small town that’s part of Olcott, NY, right by Lake Ontario. It used to be pretty famous, like presidents would come to some big hotel in Olcott in the 20’s with yachts and shit but now Olcott is a ghetto/redneck town whose biggest claims to fame are that it’s a half hour away from Buffalo New York and a carousel park that’s been around for a century that’s open like twice a year. There’s a sign on every lawn that either says “Repeal the NY Safe Act” or “Trump/Pence”, despite the safe act being 5 year old news and the election was a year ago. The only places to go are Bill’s Diner (a greasy spoon that make sure you smell like fry oil after 5 minutes in there), Dollar General, Family Dollar, Tim Horton’s, and like 5 pizza places. The school is pretty interesting, any stereotype you see in movies or whatever will be here. Despite being a redneck town, a lot of the kids think they’re in gangs and shit and have lived the hard life like their favorite rapper. As Mr. Newfane says, it can be like 80 and below 0 in the same week. There’s never snow days, but when there is, it’s announced like 5 minutes before school starts.
Hey man how do you get to Newfane , New York?

Drive to Buffalo, then go Northeast until you see teachers striking and a black lake with dead trout.

Thanks brotha.

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.
