Nonsense Words. This is a rather unusual glossary in that all of the words on the list are essentially synonymous-they are nouns meaning nonsense, gibberish, claptrap, hogwash, rubbish ... you get the idea. It probably shouldn't be surprising that this category is so productive of weird words.
STANTON, TX. STANTON, TEXAS. Stanton, the county seat of Martin County, is on Interstate Highway 20 100 miles south of Lubbock in the southeastern part of the county. In 1881 the Texas and Pacific Railway built a two-story section house, a pump, and a water tank at a small settlement in Martin County then known as Grelton.
History in a Pecan Shell. Originally called Grelton, Stanton was just a spot next to the Texas and Pacific Railroad tracks when it came through in 1881. German Catholics from Kansas and Arkansas were the first settlers. They imported the lumber which was nailed together to form the first buildings. The town was renamed Marienfeld in 1885.
