"Jerkwater town" -> nghĩa là thị trấn nhỏ buồn tẻ, ít tiện nghi và cơ sở vật chất.

Ví dụ
We're effectively a band of anal-retentive mole people who are working at a jerkwater town 950 miles away from Hollywood, specializing (chuyên về) in an art form that was declared dead a generation ago.

So maybe somebody said you came from a jerkwater town and maybe that sounds like an insult (xúc phạm) to you. But do you know where the expression (câu thành ngữ) came from? How wrapped up it is in the early railroading lore of American History? And how, after all, it might not be such a bad thing?

Do I live in a jerkwater town like Buffalo? Yeah. Is it a boxing capital? No. But considering I don't live in Vegas, New York, Atlantic City or Miami, I accomplish a lot, with a telephone and a computer and my big mouth.
