hinterland 

Hinterland is probably German, because it is. It basically means as rural as you can get within range of a city. The phrase can also apply to any area in the stix, or way far out dude.

hoo hinterland 

Hoo is short for Hinterland! It is a strange spot on the Internet that exists but is rarely "stumbled across" and is noticed and explored last; after browsing through the thousands of websites that are visible and well known! It's a third wheel club for other outcasts besides Carol Anne Starr herself.... Blacksheeps come to hoo hinterland to be together and connect with their own kind
"Where is hoo hinterland?"

"Go ask Carol Anne Starr where it is! She can tell you... She's the creator of hoo hinterland!!!"
