I remember a protest years ago which resulted in a large and well attended community meeting regarding a change to the name “Fishkill.” After the protesters had their say it was revealed that “kill” was a Dutch name for creek or small rivulet... the meeting ended rather quickly amongst the guffaws and general embarrassment of the protest group.
This is on the same level of people who think the word jewelry derives from the word Jew. You can’t really make stupid up, can you?
