The Lake 

Lake Michigan, the largest and greatest lake in the United States and one of the largest freshwater lakes in the world. Chicago, Milwaukee, and Gary are the principal ports reveling in the austere beauty The Lake.

I hear there's a Bastille Days 5k run near The Lake on the 14th.

The Lake 

Lake Superior: Largest freshwater lake in North America.

Also known as Gichigami.

Bounded by Ontario and Minnesota to the north and Wisconsin and Michigan in the south.

Dumping this body of water out on the contigual United States would result in 2 feet of standing water over all lands while filling the Grand Canyon.

The Lake is big. Big like an ocean where you can't see the other side.

The Lake 

"the lake" referring to a lake or body of water that is going to be used for sexual activities and "accidental" touching.
While at the lake with your friends you'll sleep in a tent big enough for only one person. And "movies" and "art" will be viewed at every day of the stay.

The Lake (Newton, MA) 

"The Lake" is a nickname (and in popular usage) for the relatively working-class section of the otherwise upper-middle-class and outright affluent City of Newton.

This area is, arguably, the most "Christian," notably Catholic, in Newton (I am not being Anti-Semitic; much of Newton, especially the southern and western parts, are predominantly Jewish). Residents are also, generally, more conservative than those in other parts of 'liberal' Newton.

The Lake gets its name from a now dredged Silver Lake and a popular ballroom which had the same name. Most residents are Italian-American and, to a lesser degree, Irish-American, though "yuppies" are starting to move in for its relatively (for Newton) inexpensive home prices.

Known for a type of slang called "Lake Speak," spoken by some older residents. Please refer to the "Boston Globe" archives for more information. Last, but not least, one of the few sections of Newton where genuine Boston accents ('dropped R's, words such as cahn't, bahthroom, etc.) can be commonly heard.

He lives in Newton and drives a Ford Taurus and speaks with a Boston accent. Must be from The Lake (Newton, MA).

One will see many bumper stickers, usually on Buicks, Chryslers, Dodges, and Mercurys (and usually driven by older people) commemorating "The Lake (ballroom)," with the colors of the Italian Flag on it.

People who think of Newton as an affluent, predominantly Jewish city where most adults hold graduate degrees are surprised to hear of a neighborhood (The Lake) that has more in common, socio-economically, with Malden or Quincy than with areas of Newton south of the Mass Pike.

mistake on the lake

Slang for Cleveland Municipal Stadium, which housed both the Cleveland Browns and the Indians. Known for being drab, cold, and miserable.

When I was a kid my Dad took me to the Mistake on the Lake for an Indians opener. I got frostbite.
