In the sticks...

But the band was great, too... river or not.

Sticks. I always thought it meant, "way back in the woods...where the hillbillies are"-kind of reference.

me too, so I use sticks.

I guess I'm more of the Urban Dictionary kind of English speaker then

www.urbandictionary.com/...

WOW!

So since the Brits were around first, is that the *origin*....?

I thought anything west of the Hudson was considered out in the styx

I would take anything UrbanDictionary has to say with a grain and half of salt.. But, I still always used "Styx"

I think they are both right. The common idiom is "sticks", but the urban version in some parts local to the river, it was "Styx".

sort of like "color" and "colour"

or "eraser" and "rubber". No, wait...

bad example.
