The World's Second Home.

That is the new name that New York is proposing to replace, "The Big Apple."

Did you know that the origin of the phrase "Big Apple" is a rather prurient tale involving a bordello owned by a lady named Mlle. Evelyn Claudine de Saint-Évremond? Read about it here.

Mayor Mike is trademarking the phrase and may be submitting several other phrases and images for trademark as well.

Why not tell the truth? Call it, "Clintonland".

The etymology is "si fantastique!" I do hope they don't change the name. It's perfect in every way, underline every!
