DON'T MENTION THE ....

Tom Scott of Alaska's Conservative Digest writes:

Your article on PETA wishing to rename the town of Hamburg reminded me of the time PETA wanted to rename "Fishkill," a place in upstate New York. Many placenames in upstate New York end with the Dutch word "kill." Examples, Peekskill, Catskill, etc. Kill in Dutch means stream. Fishkill actually means Fishcreek. I googled it and here is a related article or two.
