Re: Mayberry
in reply to a message by Ismene
I was immediately reminded of this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayberry_Machiavelli
"The phrase derisively invokes infamous Machiavellian-style power politics coupled with a supposed sense of incompetent regional backwardness, as exemplified by a fictional rural town in the television shows Mayberry, R.F.D. , and The Andy Griffith Show"
So it makes me think of that. Not a good association
Anyway I think Maybree would be how I'd spell it, to keep it from being surnamey; and I think it sounds a whole lot too much like "maybe" ... I'm not liking it.
