Cpt.Caveman Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 When I was in the sad place called Somalia in 93 we pepper sprayed or cs gassed the locals with what they referred to as "boofus". I wonder if there is a relation Was the mountain named by an angry Somali??

LhotseDreems Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 There is a somewhat pathetic mountain over in Eastern Washington called "Whiskey Dick"... it hangs a little to the left. By Rainier there is the all time classic "Knob Gobblers Peak" .... sounds like the two should hook up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodchester Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 In the rockies..... Grand Teton means big breast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backcountry Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 Chiwawa...sounds really cool when you say you are going up to scramble on Chiwawa...the dog??Wah-happen?? Or how about just confusing Mt Beljica (bell-hike-ah) Somewhat related, a friend finds it rather humorous when approaching a town that is a persons name and you pass the "entering" sign...Uh, like, uh-huh-huh, we're entering Gina...

Dru Posted June 14, 2001 Author Share Posted June 14, 2001 Adding to what Backcountry just said I wonder how many times I have been driving down the highway and someone has said "Look we just went over/through DoNot Pass!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highclimb Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 Rodchester, Grand teton does not mean big breast...it means big nipple. GOD! GET IT STRAIT OK! Aidan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

specialed Posted June 14, 2001 Share Posted June 14, 2001 In Montana there's a lick creek. But in Montanese one pronounces creek as crick. So its like lick crick. ha ha. I think there's also a bloody dick mountain on the Montana/Idaho border, which you pass if you're driving south on I-15.

Dru Posted June 15, 2001 Author Share Posted June 15, 2001 From searching the Mountain Index on bivouac.com I have recently discovered Canada has a "Mt. Boofus" http://bivouac.com/mtn/MtnPg.asp?rq=MtnPg&MtnId=3155 and "Bumbly Mountain" http://bivouac.com/mtn/MtnPg.asp?rq=MtnPg&MtnId=4280 , not to mention my own favorite, "Cumsack Mountain" south of Waddington. http://bivouac.com/mtn/MtnPg.asp?rq=MtnPg&MtnId=5463 Elevation wise I guess you could say Big Wadd shoots up way over Cumsack! Are there any silly names like this in the Cascades? I know you guys got a 3 and 7 fingered Jack but what about a hairy-palmed "5 Fingered Jack"?? "Big Bosom Buttes" near Baker is pretty good too....

pope Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 THREEWAY PEAK: Donna Top-Step might be interested in an expedition to climb this one. NOBLE KNOB: Reminds me of a tasteless joke about rulers and inches. BUFFALO HUMP: According to FB, this one was named by the Boyscouts. What are they teaching the kids in Scouts these days?

Rodchester Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 Aidan, Good point on the french lesson. Actually, I believe "Teton" is taken from the same root word for "tit." The early trappers, mostly french speakers, called the range the "tois tetons." The three tits. Imagine a three breasted chick...and just to be non-sexist, a three breasted guy. Oh man...Not pretty...I'm out of here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verticalswamp Posted June 15, 2001 Share Posted June 15, 2001 I don't wanna meet the kid that can hump a buffalo. Not because of any personal resemblance, mind you, but that'd be one tough little unit. And dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to: http://www.americansouthwest.net/california/lassen_volcanic/bumpass_hell.html It recieved its curious name from a disgruntled explorer, who lost a leg after falling into a boiling pool.
