You might already know this, but there are a lot of geographical names in Ohio and Kentucky that include the word Lick or Licking. It’s a reference to the natural salt licks in the region during the Ice Age that attracted a lot of animals.
My favorite is Big Bone Lick State Park, ostensibly named for the large skeletal remains of mammoths and mastodons. At least that’s what they officially want us to believe. But you have to know there was plenty of giggling and snorting at the meeting when they chose that name.
“So we’re really going to do this?”
(short pause)
“Alright then, motion is adopted. Big Bone Lick State park it is.”
(bangs gavel)
“This meeting is adjourned.”
