City in Blue Earth County in the U.S. state of Minnesota. Original name was actually "Mahkato," until some white dweeb misread it. Home of Minnesota Vikings summer training camp, the last remaining 40-foot Happy Chef statue, and the largest mass execution in U.S. history (December 26, 1862, 38 Dakota Native Americans hanged). Motto: "A Little Twin Cities, A Lot Minnesota." Named the 14th "most livable micropolitan in America."

Southern Minnesota town, misspelled Native American word meaning "Blue Skunk." Originially named Mahkato, meaning "Blue Earth" after the highly sought after blue clay found on the banks of the Minnesota River.

Mankato is too boring!

A consummate professional who simultaneously acquires "milk" from at least one man and one woman. He strives for satisfaction of all parties through the use of hands, feet, mouth, or any other appendages/orifices. The Mankato Milkman is motivated by both Gaelic lore surrounding fairies and Minnesota customs. Although "Mankato Milkman" implies a male actor, the term can apply to individuals of all genders.
James is such a Mankato Milkman, they have been collecting the healing juices by jerking dick and squeezing teats for days.

A cesspool of jocks, douchebags, alcoholics and pretentious whores generally from the Twin Cities/Twin Cities area suburbs. Anyone can generally get in, as it has one of the lowest average ACT admission scores in the country. Mankato, while having little to offer as a city, also has one of the highest STD rates in the country. Aforementioned jocks, douchebags, alcoholics and whores generally accomplish nothing in their four years except minors, DUIs, and sub-2.0 GPAs.
"Hey brah, let's spend all of our money on shitty domestic beer to get shitfaced on a Tuesday night!" - Typical MSU Mankato student
"I REALLY want to date a guy who respects me and is ambitious." - Shallow MSU Mankato whore who sleeps around with alcoholics and convicts, yet pretends to want a "genuine" guy to save face.
