No, no. If it were in Pennsylvania it would be Turdhocken, as that sounds more Dutch. And then people would mock it. Which is very like the names of small Pennsylvanian towns indeed.

It is a Winston Churchill quote describing Russia. Naturally I created an anfractuous,riddling route to it. But as I expected you already knew your source.

Ah--thanks! I'll try to perpetuate the rumor that Churchill coined the word "ew." I'm sure that will be the first step toward getting it into the Scrabble dictionaries.

Churchill was professionally qualified as a bricklayer (his hobby) not as a tilelayer. I not sure if that qualifies him as a 'kwyjibo voussoir' and 'quonking quoiner' for 'ew' scrabbling.
He did memorize many of his speeches 'brick-by-brick' or 'tile-by-tile' stylishly though. Mortar to follow, I'm sure. Stay glued to your pixels.
