Mianus

Mianus

Mianus ist ein Ort im US-Bundesstaat Connecticut.

Mianus gehört politisch zur Stadt Greenwich und liegt damit im Fairfield County, d. h. im Südwesten des Bundesstaates. An Mianus grenzen folgende Stadtteile von Greenwich an: Cos Cob, Riverside, North Mianus und Palmers Hill. Der Ort liegt ca. 12 m über dem Meeresspiegel am westlichen Ufer der Mündung des gleichnamigen Flusses in den Long Island Sound, wobei der Fluss die längliche Bucht Cos Cob Harbor bildet, über die eine Eisenbahn- und zwei Straßenverbindungen führen, die vom östlich gelegenen Stamford nach Greenwich und weiter nach New York führen.

Mianus liegt am Nordostrand des Ballungsgebietes von New York City. Manhattan liegt rund 40 km entfernt.

Bekanntheit erlangte Mianus vor allem durch seine Präsenz in der MTV-Sendung Jackass. Mianus wird wie My Anus (engl. "Mein Anus") ausgesprochen, was in zahlreichen grotesken Wortspielen und Interviews ausgeschlachtet wurde (z.B.: "Is there a school in Mianus? Are there gay people in Mianus? There's a big, red truck in Mianus. Mel Gibson has a house in Mianus").
