hinterland \HIN-tur-land\, noun:

Hinterland comes from German Hinterland, "the land behind (the coast)," from hinter, "behind" (from Middle High German, from Old High German hintar) + Land, "land" (from Middle High German lant, from Old High German).

kickshaw (KIK-shaw) noun

Where I live is mostly urban to terribly so... however, my beloved takes up residence in a wooded hinterland north of me, so I'm obliged to the post office to get her the little plastic kickshaw along with some chocolates.
