Thread Name: Folklore: Name of apartments, condos, townhouses
Subject: RE: What's in a Name??
There is a road outside of Columbus where I grew up named Gender Road. The G by all of us was always a J and the word was said in the same way as you do regarding sex......Jender. As the area became fashionable the new folks all referred to it with the hard G, evidently they were embarassed by the sexual angle. Soon, many condos and apartments began to spring up and the one name that simply broke me up? "Reflections on Gender" Wonder what they reflect on?
