I've been told that "Omaha" means "great stinking water." So "Council Bluffs" must mean "world's largest open sewer."

That would have to be Detroit, which is French for Detoilet.

Actually, Omaha is supposed to mean "above all others" on a river. That is further proof that South Dakota and North Dakota don't exist. They are just a figment of someones imagination.

However, your translation of Council Bluffs is right-on.
