Anybody have any place names that make them laugh?

Lake Titicaca. :D

So, I read the rest after I posted a response. But..super awesome that we agree. I just read your question and got so excited! It was one of my vocabulary words in 6th grade. The teacher just looked at us for a minute and then she said “Yes, you may laugh.” And we did.

Heard a funny mispronunciation just a quarter ago, when a Nicaraguan who came to Holland, tried to repeat the name of his future wife’s village.
The village is called Vrouwenpolder, which translates, literally, to Women’s Polder.
He pronounced it Vrouwenpooier, which translates to Women’s Pimp.

We have a local pet grooming place called Doggy Styles.

I don’t know why people think that Lake Chargoggagoggmanchaugagoggchaubunagungamaug is a funny name. I sure don’t think so; it’s a nice place.

I always loved driving down to Flordia and see Dumfries VA. There were a bunch of other good ones on the way but Im having trouble remembering more right now.

Weed, California.
Penistone, UK
Dildo, Newfoundland, Canada
Accident, Maryland
Fucking, Austria
Monkey’s Eyebrow, KY
Mud Lick, KY
Butts, MO

A fishing tackle/bait shop called “The Master Baiter”. The guy had to fight the city council so he could keep that name. It was painted so eloquently on the building. Pissed off a lot of people.

Damn, @everephebe stole my answer: Weed, CA. I’ve been there. I’m slow today.

In Tuckahoe, NJ, there’s a Tuckahow Inn. Hahahah!

There’s a town near the northern tip of N.H.named Dummer.

@everephebe stole Humptulips, WA so I’ll have to go with Beaver Liquors in Avon, CO. When I was little, before they remodeled, they had a sign reading “Beaver Liquors. Additional parking in rear.” It took me a few years to understand why that made my parents laugh.

Oh. There’s also Sonofabitch hill in the Utah Canyonlands.

There’s a small town near me quaintly named Pity Me.
I always think those who live there should stop being so self centered & bloody well cheer up.

Mousehole in Cornwall.

Seamen and Cumming Streets in NYC intersect.

The usual joke is… “I live on seamen just after cumming.”

@everephebe Upper DILDO? Honest?
wonder how Badcall got it’s name. . . .
@GabrielsLamb WHERE in NYC?
@rebbel What’s a Polder?
The village is called Vrouwenpolder, which translates, literally, to Women’s Polder.
He pronounced it Vrouwenpooier, which translates to Women’s Pimp.

Thank you all for a wonderful laugh

Wankum, Germany.

There’s this freeway sign that makes me chuckle when I drive by.
Just in case it’s not clear, the streets are named after letters in their downtown.

@anartist You know I couldn’t find Upper Dildo on the map, but there was a South Didlo, and a plain old Didlo, so I’m guessing the Upper Dildo is what that place is called.

Remember, Lake Titicaca and Lake Poopo are in the same country…I wouldn’t drink the water there…I’m just saying.

And I stole the above from someone who is much funnier than I’ll ever be…

@anartist Here——-> http://wikimapia.org/3768296/Intersection-of-Seaman-Avenue-and-Cumming-Street

*I thought it was cute how they did their very best to make the shape sorta phallic

In a weird boxy kinda way? Like a penis on a cubist…

Phi Phi Islands & Phuket Thailand

@silverfly Is that pronounced Pie Pie or Fee Fee? *I get the “Fuckit part.”

I think?

There is the ever popular Gropecunt lane in London *Real Street name folks you can’t make this stuff up!

Persnickety Antiquity.

I wish I could buy the store because of the name alone.

There is a Lost village in Scotland.

There’s a Nobody’s Inn in Suffern NY.

And I once knew someone who lived on a street named Wits End in the same town.

Hell, MI.

I’d live there just for the bragging rights…“I live in hell…” or “I’m from hell…”

Now that I think about it, it’s nothing really to brag over.

Here you go, @anartist.

Big Bone Lick State Park in KY
Licking County, OH
Blacklick, OH

Big Beaver, MI

Spuzzum, British Columbia.

As I’ve driven all over Ohio, these are some of the places I’ve been through. I decided to create a character in my head who has several kids. Pronounce as spelled:

Urbana Springfield 2
Uniopolis Metropolis Annapolis Jackson (UMA fo short) 5
Wapakonita Jackson 9
Bellefontaine LeOsha Brown 12

Bolivia is home to both Lake Titicaca and Lake Poopo. It’s almost too perfect…

One of my favorite place names has to be the “Hell Hole”; I don’t even know what it is, but it’s marked on maps, somewhere deep in the forests of El Dorado County, CA. Additionally, there’s a nightclub in SF called the “Boom Boom Room”. I always thought that was funny…

There’s a road in Yosemite called “Big Oak Road” on some maps. Other maps call it “Big Oak Flat Road”. Still, some call it “New Big Oak Flat Road”. What’s next? “Old New Big Oak Flat Mountain Forest Ridge Road”? I love English’s ability to string nouns and adjectives together like that…

It’s really too bad Bumfuk Egypt is just a British diplomatic servant/army joke.

@CWOTUS I think you just cycled back. I just came back to this page
Here you go, @anartist.
CWOTUS (6943points )“Great Answer” (0points ) Flag as…

@anartist

Maybe you’re clicking on your own name? (I shouldn’t have put ‘you’ in the link; that was an error of style for me.) The link “apart from your name” works for me. Try it again.

Besides, it’s “6953 points” now.

gotcha! @CyanoticWaspOfTheUnitedStates [do you have secret service too?]

@Blackberry plenty a hoes….

Onancock, VA….ahhhhh memories

Walla Walla
Keokuk
Cucamonga
Seattle

Gitche Gumee always makes me giggle.

P.S. @everephebe: I assume you’ve seen this sign?

Bong Bong, Northern Territory (NT)
Come by chance, New South Wales (NSW)
Humpybong, Queensland
Jimcumbilly, NSW
Mount Buggery, Victoria
Rooty Hill, NSW (Funnyish if you know what root means in Australia)
Wonglepong, Queensland
Yorkeys Knob, Queensland

Some of these are actually Aboriginal names. So they sound a bit funny to non-Aboriginal people. There are so many places with Aboriginal names though, most Aussies are used to them though.

@Bellatrix you forgot my favorite in the territory, Humpty Doo! I have a t shirt from the pub there.
I think the little mountain named Nellie’s Tit is interesting too, NSW.

There are so many! :-) I love the great names we have for places.

hmm, @Bellatrix Jimcumbilly sure sounds like a Brokeback Mountain location :)

@SavoirFaire I saw an article a long time ago about how people in that town were upset tourists kept stealing the sign.

@flutherother maybe “Lost” is Brigadoon’s other name?
@Blackberry this one’s really funny. The sign underneath that says “please not so fast” makes it even better.
Another version of that sign free to use is on wikipedia

Toad suck in America is my fav :)

@itsjustcruel “Toad suck”? Aplace spelled that way? 2 words? Where is it?

^ Arkansas apparently.
Toad Suck, Arkansas. Has a nice ring to it, don’t it?

Arkansas. Ah.

I have now made it my most important goal, to up sticks and move to Toad Suck

Toad Suck sounds…icky. We have cane toads here and no way would I either want to suck on those poisonous things or have them suck on me!

There is a park near Goleta, CA USA with a waterfall about 25 feet high and just enough water to wash your hands. It is called Nojoqui Falls. That is pronounced “no jokey”.
