If you ever fly in to Milwaukee they'll let you know, there are t shirt kiosks all around the terminals and 2/3 of them say "the good land" on them. The others are beer shirts.

See also, Woolloomooloo, Warragul, Mooloolaba etc.

At least in QLD if you look into the history of the names you find out almost every single one of them was named by settlers after a random smattering of indigenous words.

I look down at my soup and pretend I wasn't looking at her. I do not look at anyone the rest of the night. I know the exact design of the carpet perfectly by the time I leave. My tears soak it.

The “It’s called Milwaukee because everyone walks there” scene from Rugrats is seared into my loving brain in the same way I always think of that loving Sherlock scene whenever I’m fumbling in the dark to plug my phone in. I don’t even drink.

Is it better or worse if they faked stealing it from an indigenous language? For example, Idaho?

NLJP posted:Even more fun, Freddie Mercury was part of one of the smallest minorities out there, his family were Parsees iirc but I don't know if they were still practicing Zoroastrians Mercury was baptised as a Parsee. IIRC, his funeral service included Zoroastrian rites. May's and Roger Taylor's idea for the Queen movie would have had Mercury die halfway through, then focus on how the band continued. At least John Deacon had the decency to retire and live a completely private life rather than have his bad opinions (because no doubt he has them) on display to the public. Midnight Voyager posted:I SUSPECT Freddie would disagree on this Brian May idiot point. Mercury openly teased his sexuality (and the parties after Queen concerts were said to be sometimes full-on orgies). He was much less open about his growing up in Zanzibar and India. It's been said his family's transition was pretty rough, they went from living a good life in Zanzibar to much less in England. Whether Mercury truly wanted to be English instead of his own background or if he played it down because of racism, I don't know if anyone's ever dug into that.

My favorite one is Idaho being a Native American word for "Precious Gem" except it's not, it's just something a white dude made up, and most people figured out pretty quick, but they still named the state Idaho and their license plates still say "The Gem State."

I used to know a bloke (now dead, RIP) who played in a band with Freddie Mercury for a bit in the '60s, before Queen. He (Freddie) would always turn up late & high if at all, & apparently was generally a show off & massive pain in the arse, so the rest of the band sacked him in pretty short order.

That's absolutely believable, still doesn't mean he wasn't a loving brilliant performer/songwriter when he could be bothered.

hawowanlawow posted:Queen is the most boring dad rock, I've heard enough for six lifetimes Queen's got the dad rock problem that they do have some fun and interesting songs, but they're the ones you never hear compared to the more uninteresting crowd-pleasers like We Will Rock You. And there's the one wildcard of Bohemian Rhapsody, but in a way having one popular weird song is worse than none, because it gets overplayed and loses the magic.

Yes, it does. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Familiar "Familiars are most common in western European mythology, with some scholars arguing that familiars are only present in the traditions of Great Britain and France. In these areas, three categories of familiars are believed to exist: familiar spirits manifesting as humans and humanoids, throughout Western Europe divinatory spirits manifesting as animals, Great Britain and France malevolent spirits manifesting as animals, only in Greece"

You can still find interesting non-singles on their first five albums.
