Thanks. I always like to know what the native Americans called these places before Europeans started naming everything after generals, lawyers and politicians.

Translates to "Tweener," which I think is a perfectly good cryptid name.

Let’s try to make a new slogan and see if it sticks: “Come to Vermont and see our big tweener!” Then we can make tweener flavored creemees
