Wow, I can't believe that's actually a real place.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murderkill_River

I know -kill is a popular suffix for a stream or river anywhere there was a Dutch colony, but the murder- part threw me off for sure. According to that Wikipedia article at least, it comes from either "moeder" (mother) or "modder" (muddy) and would therefore either mean "mother river" or "muddy river".

It's right down the road from "Slaughter Beach"

Funny you mention that, there literally is a slaughter beach in Florida. It just uses the Spanish word, matanzas. There's also slaughter high school and slaughter state forest, and fort slaughter
