I was going to respond to a tweet by saying their claim sounded like an extrovert thing but then realized that's what everything in the world sounds like

Fact I discovered from American Revolution Ep. 3: Rahway, NJ used to be “Spanktown.” NY Times, 1897: “The Rahway of to-day is what was known in the last century as Spanktown, the name having been given because an early settler publicly took his spouse across his knee and chastised her.” 😳
