Redundant Names
I learned something new today....
Nah. It probably means "ripoff" or "runaway corruption" or something.
I gotta admit that you CRACK me up with every post!
I thought it meant "stupid spouse"......
No No No that's estupido esposo
Now HOW do I know this phrase? Oh yeah, it's all coming back to me.
Well......we'll just call him Thomas Thomas. My EE was a TT.

Any half-Spanish, half-English place name is in danger of being redundant.

Why is that? There were native American languages in use here before, but there aren't redundant native-American and English names (as far as I know). Unless "Hon-Dah" is Apache for "Casino"?

Knowing how Apaches name things, I think Hon Dah means White People Infested Wikiup.
On a side note, my childhood friend belongs to The Fly Infested Soup People clan, Doshdo'e.
It's something I frequently remind her of.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty & well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, totally worn out & proclaiming, "Wow What a Ride!"

Understand, when you eat meat, that something did die. You have an obligation to value it - not just the sirloin but also all those wonderful tough little bits.
