grassy knoll
Small green hill
A grassy knoll is a small, grass-covered hill or mound.
The phrase became permanently associated with the 1963 assassination of President Kennedy in Dallas, where witnesses reported hearing shots from a grassy knoll near the motorcade route.
The term now evokes conspiracy theories generally: Every tragedy brings out the grassy knoll crowd.
