Ha!

The last one is the one I remember.

🤣

Translation controversies.....

I remember a Laverne and Shirley episode where one of the two sidekick guys was asked about his name’s meaning.
“I think in Polish it means Help! There’s a pig loose in my kitchen.”

[Jim Noble]

and to be able to nothing about it

When the time comes to do something about it, be ready.

[GingisK]

The Native Americans, evidently. It means “whore”.

[knarf]

Named after the love child born to ill hand and her brother ?

[Migraine]

I suggest Minnehaha instead.

[Migraine]

Better yet: Lake Nocansay’um.

[Lumper20]

True. These liberal SOB’s have trashed every famous military post/base named after any Confederate. I will never forget Ft. Bragg nor 6-7 others.

This is a Babylon Bee article isn’t it?

[faithhopecharity]

when the feds can’t even do Bullshit right....

they rename a simple little lake: “Manidoons Zaaga’igan Zhaawanor”

Born and raised on farm in south central Minnesota decades ago. Hate my home state more than ever.

AKA: MZZ (”Mizz”) Lake. Still sounds rather feminine, yes?

[boxlunch]

No, I just thought it meant wife. Where do these lunatics get these idiotic ideas? It sure seems they are the racists since it only meant something bad to them.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

I purposely put “notthebee”in Keywords.

[Songcraft]

The are also doing that in Michigan, for anything named "Squaw" (and probably the rest of the country too).   For example, "Squaw Bay" of Lake Huron at the 45th parallel in Michigan, is now "Birdsong Bay".   (See "7 Mid-Michigan waterways renamed to eliminate use of Native American term".)

Among other things, this means that any maps you have which include Michigan and Squaw Bay are now obsolete.

I can’t wait for the nativeameticanapolis 500 from nativeamericanapolis, Nayiveamericana

You’re a forward thinker. Some unhappy liberal will take your idea and run.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

LOL! Reminds me of the 1960s when the government changed some names of landmarks. I still remember the old names.

Whorehouse Meadows became “Naughty Girl meadows.”

“Bullshirt springs” was originally...oh well you can figure it out.

Locals will still call them by the old names for decdes.

“The new name for the lake formerly known as Squaw Lake, which is located in Pine County, is Manidoons Zaaga’igan Zhaawanor.”

Which in the Zaagaa’doons language means Elizabeth Warren.

“I’ll have a turkey and cheddar on Manidoons Zaaga’igan Zhaawanor bread, please.”
