I always liked “east jabip” and “east jahunga” (sometimes jahunga road or Jahungaville)

Dogpatch is an interesting one bc I’ve heard it used to mean “middle of nowhere” and also “where poor people/hillbillies live”. It’s got history too since Lil Abner comics were set in Dogpatch, and there’s a San Francisco neighborhood of that name.
