It's a boarding school term for a certain accent.

Katherine Hepburn had a very similar accent; however, yes, it is a Long Island one.

Re your query...was that aimed at me?

Nope, didn't live in Locust Valley ever, but my family has our summer house nearby. and NO, I don't sound like that! :-)

But yes, you nailed it...Thurstan Howell had a LOCUST VALLEY LOCKJAW accent on GILLIGAN'S ISLAND.
