Best Answer

The "Dust Bowel" is a misspelling of the "dust bowl", a period marked by severe dust storms caused by drought as well as common farming practices. The dust bowl had absolutely nothing to do with your bowels, and everything to do with people moving further west to escape conditions in the Great Plains, many settling in California, especially the Central Valley. These people gained the derogatory nickname of "okies".
