Word for the day "Boondock." link fixed.
When American GIs returned from Asia at the close of World War II, besides Victory they brought home a new word to add to the lexicon -- "boondocks". It is derived from bundok the Philippine word for mountain and decribes a place that is remote and inaccessible. http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/3712/main.html
