Meanwhile the natives called it?

I understand that when a bunch of Dutchmen asked an Indian what the New York island was called, he said, "Manhattan", which was their word for "I don't know."

With all this neutral gendering nonsense they'll have to get rid of the Man in Man-hattan - will have to call it "Peoplehattan" or something.

Right now I'm in Filthy-delphia ready to fly to Chi-congo.
