The sticks
Posted by Bookworm on December 03, 2002
Is this term for boondocks strictly English? I've never heard it in the US. (But I have heard boonies).
As an aside:
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.
