<<Podunk:
an actual village in MA (and CT, MI, NY, VT) that has become figurative
for
some small unimportant backwater hick town. Other unusual American towns
names (many from Native American), some of which are used like Podunk,
include Boring, Drain, Bend, and even Wanker's Corner OR, Bat Cave NC,
Bugtussle (TX, OK) and Bug Tussle (KY, TN), Cool, Weed CA, Hoboken (AL,
CA,
GA, NJ), Hohokus NJ, Kalamazoo (AR, FL, MI, WV), Kankatee, Keokuk (IA,
TX),
Kokomo (AR, CO, HI, IN, MS, TX), One blink, two blink TX, Oshkosh (NE,
WI),
Punxsutawney PA, Skaneateles NY>>
One thing all small towns in the USA have in common is there are two main
streets and they are always named "Washington" and "Lincoln" What would
be the two main streets in a small Canadian town?... Give up?...
"Alaska Highway"
