Reminds me of a funny thing that happened to me years ago.
When I was in my 20s, I was sitting at a bar with some friends and this fellow with a major Southern drawl came up and asked if he could buy me a drink. I said, "Sure, why not." He bought me a drink, then sat down and started talking to us. I asked him where he was from, and he said, "Way 'cross Georgia." I said, "How far across?" He said, "No, it's Way 'cross." I said, "Yeah, but how many miles across?" His face started turning red and he shouted at me, "WAYCROSS IS THE NAME OF THE TOWN!!!" My friends and I just busted up laughing. He got up and left.

Wayback means 'way in the back of our yard'. We have a 60'X350' lot on a natural estuary, and the house sits at the front of the lot. So the 'wayback' is the back section with the deck and dock. Cause it's 'way back there'. :~))
