Which is the worst name?

[El Supremo]

Poll question: Which is the worst name?

[KamaAina]

1. It's Po'opo'o, you malihini

(malihini: a foreigner or visitor; opposed to kama'aina local person, lit. "child of the land")

The 'okina (') is a letter in 'olelo Hawai'i. It makes a sound like that heard in "uh-oh" or the local pronunciations of New Britain and Trenton. Thus, the town on Hawai'i isand (the Big Isnad) of which you speak is pronounced "POE-oh-POE-oh". (meaning: "head or skull" reduplicated). :P

2. Ah Ah!

as in "ʻAʻā"

I worked on the Big Island many makahikis ago. I don't remember a Po'opo'o there. But I see that it is a small island off Lanai's coast.

3. Feast your eyes on this "Po'opo'o platter"

[El Supremo]

4. Are you saying that I'm a Dim Sum?

[KamaAina]

5. No, but I think this subthread has gone On Too Long

just like the famous Chinese orator. :-)

[Jack Rabbit]

6. You forgot Hell, Michigan

As every real Californian knows, during the Gold Rush Placerville was called Hangtown. There was a reason.

7. Black Gnat KY but I voted Redskins

Black Gnat, on the Taylor Co Green Co line is a 'town' but also the name of a famous local whore that caused more causalities in the Army during the 'Nam than the VC. Remember the war games from Ft Knox down to the empty Green River Reservoir before it was impounded?

8. Ann Arbor (is a whore)
