Just to be clear. This city's name is now slang for "the middle of nowhere" at least in the US and maybe UK.

Any other guesses before I give out the answer?

Uhhh, hicksvile? I don't know.

Shades2585 · « **Reply #22 on:** September 20, 2006, 09:22:37 PM »

Nope not that one. Right idea though wrong continant.

Wait, so is it in America or Europe?

It sounds so familiar, but I just can't place it...

Shades2585 · « **Reply #24 on:** September 21, 2006, 03:47:15 AM »

Neither one.
I just found out where it is myself the other day from the History Channel. I have used it myself though.

I don't know how good I'll be at this, but I'll try. For lack of anything better of the top of my head I'll ask whose plain Wolfe died on.

Okay, that one didn't work, so I 'll try a differant one. In what election was the phrase OK used as a slogan, thus helping cemtent it in popular usage?

Delling · « **Reply #34 on:** October 10, 2006, 06:00:15 PM »

Google 'tis a wonderful thing

"President Martin Van Buren's 1840 campaign for reelection"

Actually it did work. I found it that same hour but wanted other people to post. Nobody did and I forgot to get back to it.

Here is what I found.

Linky

Very interesting I hadn't known that.

I thought it was just a short version of Okay. Interesting.

EDIT: Forum stretching

Petra Rocks · « **Reply #36 on:** October 10, 2006, 06:38:08 PM »

So, who wants to make the next one?

Shades2585 · « **Reply #37 on:** October 10, 2006, 06:42:48 PM »

I keep thinging of good ones when I'm watching the History channel but I can't thing of one now.

EDIT- Ok here is one. What is a "Harvest Moon"?

Delling · « **Reply #38 on:** October 10, 2006, 06:48:53 PM »

*jumps up and down waving arms wildly*

Oo oo oo... ... actually... I'll let someone else take it...

Shades2585 · « **Reply #39 on:** October 10, 2006, 06:50:53 PM »

It was pretty for those who saw it last week. At least I thought it was.
