Most folks feel like they have probably been to Podunk at least once if not more often and since there is actually more than one Podunk that is entirely possible. Connecticut,New York,Vermont and Massachusetts are all homes to Podunks but when researchers have searched for the meaning of the word there is no sure definition. It is agreed that the origin lies in the Algonquian languages as do many words in our language but with the language rapidly dying there is no definitive meaning for the word. Top linguistics experts say the meanings you may find are only guesses and the closest definition comes from the Nipmuc Indian Association,Podunk where you sink in the mire,or a boggy place. Now you know Podunk!
