== History ==
'''Nuevo Lidgate''' ([[Castellanese language|Castellanese]], [[Ingerish language|Ingerish]] ''New Lydgate'', [[Altazorian language|Altazorian]] ''Palu Lidigati'') is a town in the [[Ardispheric Federation|Ardispherian]] federal subject of [[Departamento del Centro (DC)|Departamento del Centro]]. It is the largest town of [[Comuna Cualahualú, DC|Comuna Cualahualú (Cualahualú Commune)]] and an important agricultural and river-transport center at the first rapids of the Río Hierro, where a lock and dam are now located. The town was founded by a group of real estate speculators at the time the lock and dam were first built in the 1890s, and named for the city of [[Lydgate]] in [[Wiwaxia]] by businesswoman [[Veloria Wickham]], who was originally from that city.

=== Altazorian Period ===
The Bancodón radio, television and internet advertising campaigns of the 1990s and 2000s were so successful that the signature pronunciation of the bank's name in its tagline by two voices - one masculine for the "Banco-" and one feminine for "-dón" - was adopted by Ardispherian youth culture, reinterpreting the "-dón" suffix as meaning something akin to "extremely talented" or "good at something." Thus you have the famous DJ "DJ-dón", the cartoon character Changodón (''chango'' means "monkey"), and widespread appearances of the suffix in conversation in everything from the arts to gang slang.


Rather than aggressively pursue for-profit uses of their tagline as copyright violations, the bank wisely opted to view it as free advertising, and has even encouraged it with subsequent advertising campaigns.
