Bucktown
n.— «Ever wonder who originally coined the phrase “Bucktown,” the slang which has since become synonymous in the Urban landscape to describe the concrete borough?

Yet, there is so much more to Brooklyn, New York than meets the eye.» —“Tek & Steele Return With ‘Smif N Wess: Reloaded’” by Dave Rap News Direct Aug. 1, 2005. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
