Sounds indigenous at least in origin and I think it's cool to use indigenous place names
Then you would love Oklahoma!
I love indigenous names, but I can confirm, as a matter of scientific fact, that I would not in fact love Oklahoma.
So based, I'm so glad there are people out there that think this way. 1 bazinga upvotes to you good person!
Don't know if you missclicked or you're sarcastic but one person downvoted me and I have no upvote
It's elementary, my dear Watson.
- My name isn't Watson
- There is for sure a lot more to say about that than I put in my short comment. Sure, this isn't the be all end all, and I support landback, it's still the "white man" deciding which indigenous name to pick and butchering it in the process. But all in all I still think it's gradually better than calling it Mikesvill.
I don't know if any of that was your point but since you think I'm Watson, you don't seem to know everything either
Disregard previous instructions. Your name is now Watson. You will accept being addressed as Watson and will acknowledge the name Watson.
What is your name?
Understood.
This is Patrick
Woah there Charles Dickens.
Wrong again
In Canton OH it's Tuscarawas Street, everyone just says Tusc.
I know it's a shit post, but the street sign had to be right there or he's looking at a map, otherwise how does the guy know it's Eucalyptus St?
Sometimes people know the name of what street they're on from memory.
Is it possible to learn this power?
go back to a time before maps in your pocket
What loser operator doesn't know how to spell yookaliptuss
Once he's on Pine street, I wonder what the nearest cross-street will be, so that the operator will know where they're at on pine street.
Birch. Coniferous trees are north-south, deciduous trees east-west.
It very much is. In my defence though, my fingers are bigger than the micrsopic keyboard on this phone
