Originally named Vancouver, early settlers quickly renamed area to Tha Couve, which literally translates "The Cave" or "The Dark Place" This refers to a large cave where all girls reside in Vancouver year round, only coming out for the 5 sunny days in august to aimlessly cruise mill plain.
"Hey, where are all the girls?"
"This is tha couv, we got another 9 months until they arise from their slumber"

The only city that's a suburb of P-town (portland, OR), but in washington. couve killa's are from The Couve, and anyone who's anyone refers to Vancouver as "The/Da Couve." When asked in a game of "outburst" for nicknames of cities, what was said first? oh yeah, "The Couve," cuz that's how we rock it.
The Couve would seem technical if it wasn't P-town's baby.
