CB Radio Call for Montgomery, AL. This comes from the monkeys on the island at Oak Park in Midtown. Once they had an escape. After the escape, the city was hailed as Monkeytown by all the truckers. This is around the same time that Birmingham was Smoke City before Iron City.

Get the Monkeytown mug.The story is that truckers call Montgomery, AL "Monkey Town" because of a story about escaped monkeys from the local zoo. The story is that all the monkeys escaped and ran a muck through the city. This is not true. One monkey named Sonny did escape in 1955 and was captured a few days later. Also in 1955, five Rhesus monkeys escaped in Birmingham and they did run through town. Montgomery may be called Monkey Town based on that false story but that has not been proven.

Get the Monkeytown mug.Monkeydonia is a semi-derogative term used to describe the country of FYROM (North Macedonia). The reason behind the mocking is due to the historical revisionist / misleading / cultural appropriative nature of the North Macedonians. This tactic is known as antiquization - a form of historical quackery.
Essentially what the history is, originally the land in ancient times was known as the Paeonian Kingdom. King Agis died, then Phillip 2 of Macedon (a real authentic Greek Macedonian - the real macedonians) conquered Paeonian land and turned it into a vassal of Greek Macedonia.
Around the sixth century, the slavs settled the balkans, becoming known as the south slavs. This land was no longer Greek - Macedonian inhabitants, it was now a slavic land. This area specifically became associated with the Bulgarians as they were Slavicized from the 7th to 10th century. Eventually much later, Turkish Ottomans took over the land. The nationalist Western-Bulgarians in the late 1800s revolted. They adopted the title "macedonian" as reference to the ancient land, not as a ethno-nationalist qualifier. Later, yugoslav-communist propaganda turned this into a deeper lie, insinuating that the Western-Bulgarians are "real Macedonian people" (false).
Essentially, the modern day people are descendants of Bulgarian ancestry. So they should not be called Macedonian. However, they deserve a distinct identity, so some have theorized renaming the country as Vardaria, and the language as Vardzarija.
