Wasatch "Front" -- A Bunch of Wieners?
(the rest of the story)
June 17, 2002
Oh my goodness. Guess who gets the last laugh on
this one. I wonder how long the Native Americans have known this one and
have kept their lips sealed while busting a gut inside. This is worse than
the Kimosabe joke in which Tonto uses this name for his white-man friend, the
Lone Ranger, letting him think it is an Indian name of great repute.
Later, Kimosabe realizes that his nickname
means "horse's ass."
My wife brought this one to my attention.
Utah Trivia:
"After reading the book Southern Paiutes by LaVan Martineau -- which, among
other bits of trivia, tells the origin of the name Wasatch Mountains --
Kaysville resident Bill Ward probably views our magnificent mountains in a new
way.
"Ward, who bought the book in Zion National Park, passes on this except:
'Wasatch -- the name comes from the Paiute and Ute Indian phrase pronounced
Wuhu'Seai, meaning 'frozen parts.' Archie Rogers [of the Shivwit Band] tells the
following story about the origin of the name: '[The Utes] said that one time
many Indians lived there between Heber and Provo. One day the men were out
hunting when a big blizzard came up and they lost one of the hunters. When they
found him he was dead and his penis was frozen stiff."

Kimosabe does not mean "horses ass."
Sabe comes from the verb..saber...to know.
Sabe means...he, she, or it knows.
Kimo is a twist of Querer...to want.
Quiero...I want
Pronounced..."qui"..sounds like key
Therefore...kimosabe....quiero sabe
which is correctly....quiero saber......
which means..."I want to know."
Ass in Spanish is "nalgas."
No where in Kimosabe is "cavallo" which means horse.
