Cedric, I promise I'm writing this with respect: I had a good laugh while trying to figure out what one does to a Hick with the stick - 'Hick' being a somewhat unflattering term for a person from a rural area. It's similar to the word 'Hillbilly'. Then I realized: Wonder = Wander / stab = Staff. A 'hiking stick'.
