When ranchers and rangers drove a large, closed General Motors/Chevrolet vehicle based on a truck chassis, the vehicle was called a "Suburban." As soon as actual suburban moms and dads started driving the same vehicle, its name was changed to the range-friendly "Yukon XL." Fantasy becomes reality becomes fantasy. U.S. history in a nutshell.
Please send other pithy illustrations of our great nation in fantastic action. What about us tickles you?

To Daisy: Thanks for your message. I'd be happy to look at your questionnaire. I had a student who wrote about a similar topic about 10 years ago, and I'd be happy to try to find you a copy of his thesis. Please contact me through the website of the Great Barrington Waldorf High School. Best, Steve
Boondocks (wild, desolate, or uninhabitable). The expression was introduced to English by American military personnel serving in the Philippines during the early years of the 20th century. It derives from the Tagalog word "bundok", meaning "mountain".
The Boondocks is a comic strip (and cartoon on Cartoon Network). It is a social satire of African American culture and race relations revolving around the lives of the Freeman family.
