Glossary Entry: Bumpkin Belt

A mythical belt near an unnamed planet in a zone so far removed from the civilized galaxy that it has not rated a number. Though the term Bumpkin Belt can simply be used to describe an extremely distant location, a person said to reside in the Bumpkin Belt is usually an untutored naïf who lacks the sense to come in out of a meteor shower. The Bumpkin Belt is also the place to which any former spacer who settles into the geezer’s life is said to retire.
