- I can get in my car and drive to Mattapan (aka Murderpan)
murderpan
noun;
A place with high crime (esp. Mattapan). Mattapan, Massachusetts has a high crime rate, so people invented the word murderpan punningly after the name of the place, signifying an area full of murders. In very few situations, the word murderpan is used as an analogy, meaning an unsafe place in general.
Etymology : from Latin mort-, mors, 'death', and Greek patanE
