Honduras, like Chicago means "stinky place," has one of those place names that doesn't bear up well to scrutiny.
The name comes from a line in Christopher Columbus' log, "Gracias a Dios que hemos salido de estas honduras!" The literal translation is, "Thank God we've escaped these treacherous depths." A freer translation would be, "Fuck! We're finally out of that hell hole."
