You are a big, beautiful woman (BBW)
So, you're a Kentucky boy.Well, I finally found this thread and I'm sure everyone is wondering "where in the hell did he come up with that?" Well I live in a rural area, surrounded by hills with a large creek at the bottom. Here the land at the bottom of a hill and next to a stream of water is "bottom land" and is coveted because of it's fertility due to good dirt washed down the hill and fresh silt deposited on the land after the spring floods. Now I don't live right at the bottom but about 300' up from the creek. When the temperature and humidity is right there is quite a bit of fog rising from the creek and usually by 3:00 AM it covers the entire area so you can't even see your neighbors house. Heavy fog during a full moon out here is awesome, everything seems to glow and I wouldn't move back to town for anything. So having seen the movie "Brother Where Art Thou" in which the brothers formed a Bluegrass singing group named the "Foggy Bottom Boys" I thought well that suits me and this area so there it is, besides all the good Roman names were taken up here a long time ago I'm sure.
The "Whisky City" comes from the nickname for the nearest town. I'm surrounded by distilleries here as they like the sweet limestone filtered water in this area. Jim Beam is about 5 miles as the crow flies from me, Very Old Barton is in town, Four Roses barrel houses are at the end of the road I live on, Heaven Hill is close and several new distilleries have opened up in the area. The next town over has Maker's Mark. On a warm summer's night you can smell the bourbon ageing in the numerous barrel houses, I'm certain Mr. Tree would enjoy that quite a bit although we don't have a Seagram's distillery here.
I think it has got a great ring to it, nice choice!Jameson Althanie is an alias I've used in real life in addition to the Forum. I've also thought up a bunch of OC characters from a number of different movies, TV shows and Anime and Jameson Althanie is my characters' name in a few of them.
So I'm just not quite clear if the fogginess is due to the creek or the distillery!Well, I finally found this thread and I'm sure everyone is wondering "where in the hell did he come up with that?"

Fascinating! I think Foggy Bottom does turn up in field-names and suchlike local names in England,Well, I finally found this thread and I'm sure everyone is wondering "where in the hell did he come up with that?"

Possibly both, I keep a full stock of the local products on my shelf.So I'm just not quite clear if the fogginess is due to the creek or the distillery!
I had considered that here under a full moon the fog over the fields reminds me of photos I've seen of the English moors ( Less the Hound of the Baskervilles).Fascinating! I think Foggy Bottom does turn up in field-names and suchlike local names in England,
but it may refer to a kind of grass that was called 'fog' - Yorkshire Fog still is a type of grass I think.
