It's the name, isn't it?  My dad used to say of something really odd

Ha! I remember it as "Cleckhuddersfax". Another chap I used know
referred to "Cleckheckmondsedge", which presumably is a slightly more

Exactly, hence the expression.

Heckmondwike is known for its blankets and football boots, as worn by Sir
Stanley Matthews.
