It's right down the road from "Slaughter Beach"

Funny you mention that, there literally is a slaughter beach in Florida. It just uses the Spanish word, matanzas. There's also slaughter high school and slaughter state forest, and fort slaughter

Had a lot of that when i lived in Ft. Wayne Indiana. A lot of stuff was called "Aboite" which supposedly came from the french word abattre or slaughter.
