The word “Missouri” often has been construed to mean “muddy water” but the Smithsonian Institution Bureau of American Ethnology has stated it means “town of the large canoes,” and authorities have said the Indian syllables from which the word comes mean “wooden canoe people” or “he of the big canoe.”
Mississippi, meaning “great river” or “gathering-in of all the waters,” sometimes referred to as the “father of waters,”.
What a lot of people don’t know is that a la bama in spanish means “to the borders as quickly as possible even fucking Arkansas is an improvement on this shithole”
I heard Florida was Spanish for “we’re sorry, no really, sorry. So sorry. We messed up pretty bad. It’s your problem now, we’re just so done with this shit.”
They literally named a state misery.
Actually, Missouri is a native American word meaning “This place sucks”
Incidentally, “Mississippi” is Iroquois for “most racist and generally awful state”
This is false on both counts.
Whoosh…
Great job Young Sheldon

“Alabama” means “at least we’re not Mississippi”.
True! In fact, their unofficial state motto is “Thank God for Mississippi (making Alabama look less awful in comparison)!”
