"Nob Hill" is also a neighbourhood in San Francisco, California; it's unknown if this is a reference to the established slang term.

	Thus we have "Hill-" or "Castle of Manifestations"

	Om refers to it as "Nob Hill" which is also a neighbourhood in San Francisco, California. As far as it can be worked out, the derivation is because it is a posh hilly region. The term "Nob Hill" is also used in some parts of Australia for the bit of towns where the wealthier residents live.

Dunmanifestin is a parody of the common British house name "Dunroamin", as in "Done Roaming - from now on I'll stay here at home". Now obviously it would mean "Done Manifesting", i.e. "I have finished appearing to humans".

In classic Pratchett style, the pun works on another level: ''Dun-'', meaning ''Hill of-'' or ''Castle of-'' is a common prefix in Scottish and Irish placenames, ie ''Dundee, Dun Laoghaire, Dundalk, Donegal (Dun na nGall).''

Thus we have "Hill-" or "Castle of Manifestations"

Om refers to it as "Nob Hill" which is also a neighbourhood in San Francisco, California. As far as it can be worked out, the derivation is because it is a posh hilly region.
