Hate to disagree, but Mike’s just too young to remember the earthquake that created Montana’s Quake Lake.
The name isn’t *added* to the lexicon; it’s there, lying dormant since the 7.3 Yellowstone Earthquake in 1959 buried a public campground, stopped the Madison river and created a permanent lake. Heck, just wiki it up and you’ll find 2 or 3 articles about the quake, quake lake, etc.
