Wasatch Mountains

[snopes]

Comment: A few years ago, I heard that the name of our local mountain
range, "The Wasatch Mountains" means "frozen penis" in the Ute indian
language.

The main link I found in my poor excuse for research is
http://www.i4m.com/think/wasatch/

It references a book by LaVan Martineau, which recounts the tale from
Archie Rogers, and states that a Ute Indian Chief named Francis McKinley
tells the same story.

Is it really what the word "wasatch" means, or is it just a funny story
that got out of hand?

There's a hil in the Clwydian Range in Norths Wales called Moel Famau, which basically means Hill of the Breast. It even has a nipple on top.

Any moment now someone's going to bring up Lake Titicaca. I just know it.

I suppose they figured it out when members of the Ute tribe starting giggling each time they mentioned it like a group of fifth graders. "Hee hee. Wasatch."

Hey let's get bigger, let's remember an out of this world classic. Don't forget about Uranus. Haw haw haw.
