Help me out - what does the "podunk town"-Vegas thing mean?

I always called it Farminatti

 

The Buffalo suburb of Cheektowaga is often called Cheektavegas.

Springfield, Oregon, the neighbor city to Eugene, is often called Springtucky, for good reason. It's also the inspiration for Springfield on "The Simpsons."

As noted earlier on the thread, Spocompton has been a PNW nickname for decades.

 

I always figured Fayetteville, NC was the original Fayettenam, given the abundance of miltary and Asian hookers.

 

Easy... those might be their wives.

Hay ooooo

 

Gooooood morning, Fayettenam!

 

Wait. I don’t know many military hookers. Asian, yeah.

Military folks are required to go through Human Trafficking Awareness Training, and depending on the base, are specifically told which parts of town to avoid.

Still, some people wind up in The Honch.

 

About 15 years ago, my first job out of college was in Lumberton, NC. I was covering a game in Fayetteville so I figured I'd take advantage of getting to a bigger town with presumably more to do.

But I was also a rube, pretty much fresh off the farm, and couldn't believe all the street walkers and everything right out in broad daylight. I find a Mexican restaurant that somebody told me was good and the shopping center it was in had a strip club and three massage parlors. Seemed like a competitive market, because when I got out of my car there were lingerie-clad ladies sticking their heads out each door hollering at me to come into their establishment.

 

I’m going to see if I can quote some great posts of the past involving the Chocolate Wonderfall. First up, from way back in 2012:

 

Next up among the Chocolate Wonderfall quotes is a @Bubbler classic. I said something similar several years later, knowing this cult classic was hanging out there somewhere, and promptly got yelled at. But here is Bubbler, also from 2012:

 

Gotta say, when I saw the "Vombatus has quoted your post" notification... I wasn't expecting this.

 

LMAO. Seriously, I just choked on my beer a bit.

But I kept it down. I don’t believe in alcohol abuse.

 

Just south of Fredvegas is Spotsyl-tucky.
