and Kansas wasn't?

Are you gonna make me look up Kansas too?
Kansas is named after the Kansas River, in turn named after the Kansa people.
The name Kansas derives from the Algonquian term, Akansa, for the Quapaw people. These were a Dhegiha Siouan-speaking people who settled in Arkansas around the 13th century. The stem -kansa is named after the Kaw people, also known as the Kansa, a federally recognized Native American tribe.

I still don't know who Woodkid is. So many skaters skate to it? Him?

He's a French music producer who also sings, if I recall correctly?

By the way @4everchan, you have something in common with Emily Bratti - you both spent a lot of time in pools. A fun fact @moonvine and I learned watching practices was that she was a competitive diver. I've been waiting to share that tidbit for what it is worth.

Staying on Peacock? Or having to suffer w NBC? Anyone know?

I've just heard Wichita pronounced for the first time. Totally different to what I thought!

It's an American Indian name (Wichita is the name of the tribe and of the language). Just make sure to pronounce an ending "a" with a full-throated "AW" sound. Yakima (Yakimaw) Mackinac (through French, pronounced Mackinaw)

I just had a dark chocolate peanut butter cup, and a white chocolate peanut butter cup.

I still don't know who Woodkid is.

I have an UP personality and that singer's voice is a Downer to me. I hit the mute button.
