    Dammit you beat me to it! I was raised on a farm about 15 miles south of Eyebrow and whenever I go to visit down there if I am in Saskatoon I drive through Elbow!

    I know a group of guys here who frequently call each other "Potlicker" when joking around. I'll have to tell them about Lickskillet...lol

    It's not a city name but a road, notice the exit number off of I-75, it's located in Troy, MI

    In Northern Idaho Potlatch Forests had a company town called Potlatch. As with many company towns, they did not allow any alcohol in the town. Just outside of town someone put up a bar. Whenever someone wanted a drink they would say they were going "on away from Potlatch" for a drink. So just outside of Potlatch, Idaho is Onaway, Idaho. Also on the AlCan highway in either BC or the Yukon is Atlastahouse. I guess the Mrs. didn't like living in a tent in that part of Canada.
