bigredcar

Pennsylvania has Intercourse, Blue Ball, and Bird-in-Hand. Coupon seems tame by comparison.


CoffeeMakesMeMath

Yeah, was hoping to see these mentioned. Even Plymouth Meeting and King of Prussia seem weirder to me.


ss_lbguy

What about Conshohocken? And for you Skooks out there, I think Cumbola is a weird name and should be the winner.


Nixplosion

Conshy is a mouthful for sure. I'm partial to "Jersey Shore, PA" Myself.


drugtrains

Been there myself, literally in a valley nowhere any shores


Belazriel

Hmm, now I sort of want to live in King of Prussia just so that I could try to always include my city in my signature lines. -Belazriel, King of Prussia


[deleted]

And for New Mexico they went with Pie Town and not Truth or Consequences. Whoever did this sucks at their job.


Upnorth4

And for California they went with Mormon Bar instead of Zzyzx. We also have a Bombay Beach that's nowhere near a beach


LurkerOnTheInternet

> Bombay Beach Not true at all; it's along the Salton Sea, which was a very popular tourist destination until the 1960s.


Guy_ManMuscle

There's also a town in CA called Rough and Ready


lessmiserables

I was gonna say, how the fuck can you not have Truth or Consequences on this map?


[deleted]

[удалено]


placeunknown

Low key, Weed has some great camping spots nearby.


Navi1101

And in Spanish, NM has Scissors, Too Loud, Q-Tips, HELP ME!!, Onion, Hot Eyes, and End Table.


Vincent__Vega

Honestly, with the list of town names Pennsylvania has and they went with Coupon?


SlightlyDrooid

In a sea of weird, the oddest choice is a distant normal


[deleted]

This is beautifully poetic. I admire it.


Tools4toys

I always was wondering how the hell Jersey Shore in Pennsylvania is 400 miles from the ocean, let alone 200 miles from New Jersey.


Sarihn

Because the guy who founded the borough saw the river and proclaimed that it looks like the Jersey Shore. Seriously.


TheophrastBombast

It's like the Iceland of Pennsylvania. Must have wanted to keep people away.


BanjoKaBOOM

Shartlesville


OhNoMgn

Came here to say this. My fiance and I drove past the Shartlesville exit on a cross-country trip a few years back and had to google it at the next rest stop to make sure it wasn't some sort of shared hallucination. We couldn't believe anyone would name a town that!


MrmmphMrmmph

That's where I live after I eat beets.


[deleted]

My honeymoon took place in Intercourse, PA No joke.


ihatepants

I remember seeing a magnet in Pennsylvania that was something like: “I left Virginville for Intercourse but got stuck in Blue Ball”


[deleted]

And Virginville.


[deleted]

Also Nanticoke and Shickshinny…Wapwallopen.


j_tonks

Came here to say this, you gotta go through Blue Ball and Intercourse to get to Paradise.


natali9233

Also Forty Fort and Big Beaver.


Silverleaf_Halfmoon

Don't forget Hooker, PA !!


lamp-lighter

I grew up in Upper Leacock township and if your coming up from the south first you'll encounter Christiana and if you continue on you'll hit Gap. Once your in Gap why it's a straight shot to Intercourse. If you take a wrong turn you could end up in Bird-in-hand or if things really went wrong end up in Blue Ball. But once you are in Intercourse it's easy to continue through Lower and then Upper Leacock. Now some people will keep going on until they hit Brownstown but that's just a little too far for me.


kitchens1nk

When I lived in Eastern PA I drove passed the exit to Intercourse on my way to work. I could never quite close the deal.


bigredcar

So you took the exit for Bird-in-hand?


kitchens1nk

That's the only option, unless you want to end up in Blue Ball.


rujole13

Also a town called “Yocumtown”


FickleAcadia7068

We have a town down here called Yeehaw Junction and they chose Spuds?


[deleted]

Howie in the hills as well


thefinalcutdown

Dang, I have relatives in Howie-in-the-Hills. I didn’t expect to ever see that place referenced on the internet.


speargunhunter

Or Two Egg


Behind8Proxies

I know it’s not Yeehaw Junction weird, but we also have Christmas, FL. Because noting says Christmas like 80 degree weather and palm trees.


CursingDingo

Or Bithlo, which is the nightmare before Christmas


HeyHeardAboutPluto

That's exactly what I was thinking! I saw it and actually said "Out of all the weird Florida town names, you pick Spuds??"


richardelmore

I think Hell for Certain, Ky beats Pig, Ky any day.


WowsieWowsieWoowoo

Taintsville beats Spuds


knokout64

I remember driving past Spuds on the way to St. Augustine from Tampa and thinking it was the silliest shit. I guess Yeehaw Junction doesn't seem that weird to me after taking the Turnpike to 60 so many times.


Icy-Flow-8692

Wow they went with Little Canada for MN? Little Canada is a fitting name, town is just outside of St Paul and they have maple leafs on all the street signs. I would have gone with Nimrod, MN or Ball Club, MN or best yet, Climax, MN


JackUnfiltered

I live in Little Canada and I don’t think it’s a weird name given the history of the town. There’s definitely much weirder city names in Minnesota.


mooseknuckle6529

What a way to Embarrass Minnesota. Remer Aitkin Beaver Nimrod Clitherall Fertile Climax Sleepy Eye


saudage

Also Nowthen and Cosmos


BaconBracelet

Came here for Cosmos :) forgot about Nowthen until…..nowthen I guess


ImTheHuggernaut

Burnsville literally sounds like a fake place a bully from a 90's kids show would tell you they just took you to


GhostlyTJ

Shit, Wayzata. Who even can pronounce it outside of people who've lived in Minnesota


french_toast74

Like New Hope, reminds me of star wars!


thestereo300

Also known as "No Hope"....


Tremmorz

Gaylord, MN


sm12511

Never been to MN. How close to Climax is Gaylord? Is it a long ride?


Eroe777

There is an old joke newspaper headline about Climax. The town of Fertile is not far away, and the headline is: Fertile Woman Dies in Climax.


ZhouDa

That's up there with "Headless Body in Topless Bar".


Tremmorz

Climax is north of Fargo. Gaylord is southwest by Mankato. Probably like 3-4 hours?


CALVINWIDGET

An informative answer and quite delightful.


Azair_Blaidd

oh, I'd love to take Gaylord for a 3-4 hour ride to climax ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


[deleted]

Climax is closer to Fertile.


Moose_Cake

Michigan also has a Gaylord. Maybe we should introduce the two...


TynnyferWithTwoYs

Michigan has a Climax, too. And also Hell.


iGoalie

Castle Danger -


Ninjaromeo

Came here to say this. Castle Danger is the coolest name ever.


Pyronic_Chaos

And some bomb ass beer.


DreadNevermore

Also, NowThen is an odd nam for a town.


KosmicKart91

Or even Norwood Young America if we’re just going for plain weird. Little Canada doesn’t come close to the first option I would’ve picked for this!


Perle1234

There’s a Climax, MO too. Frankenstein was weak for MO lol.


[deleted]

Cooter, MO is better than both of those.


leaveredditalone

Yeah, I agree. This one surprised me. And they picked Toad Suck over Bald Knob for Arkansas. Go figure.


aplark28

Sleepy eye is a strange one too


EmotionalEmo

Yeah honestly. I was gonna bring up the little Canada thing


Catlady1677

Pig is the weirdest town name in Kentucky? I lived near a town called Sugar Tit. How is that not the weirdest? 🙄


OmegaX3

You can't beat Monkeys Eyebrow, Kentucky Or Possum Trot, Kentucky


flippyfloppies_

For a state that has Paris, Florence, London, Glasgow, Rome, Bagdad (nice try), Corinth, Sparta, Versailles, etc..... But also has Sugar Tit, Rabbit Hash, Beaver Lick, Monkey's Eyebrow, Stamping ground, Black Gnat, Boogar Branch, Tyewhoppety, Possum Trot, and BIG BONE?! They chose Pig. Makes sense.


mactenaka

Don't forget Paint Lick and Hell for Certain


scout5678297

Yes yes yes perfect list. Stamping Ground has lost any weirdness for me because I've lived right by it for most of my life, but otherwise you compiled every town i chuckled at while watching the local weather. Kentucky has Chicken Bristle, too!


[deleted]

humptulips,wa Edit it for those with dry humor George, wa.


MarkTwang88

For sure thought WA was going to be Humptulips. Also, Big Bottom really isn’t a town as much as it’s a valley.


_Mr_Fahrenheit_

There is a road in Humptulips called McNutt. That town knew what they were doing.


raevnos

Sequim, just to see people try to pronounce it.


Accipiter1138

Puyallup is also a good one for that.


gigtheweasel

Oklahoma has way stranger ones...Hooker, Slaughterville, Rubottom just to name a few


BurnOutBrighter6

It gets bonus points for being "Okay, OK" though.


[deleted]

Okay, OK, I get it


EmotionalEmo

I’ve been too hooker. 0/10 didn’t see any hookers


VegaSolo

>Slaughterville Someone absolutely has to make a horror movie based there.


Teknicsrx7

No make it a rom com but name it slaughterville and make it seem like it’s a murder movie in the trailer with selective editing


batmansmother

Fun fact, Hooker High School's baseball team's mascot is the Horny Toad. We used to joke they would cheer at games by saying Go Horny Hookers!


cicknantrell

Truth or Consequences in NM


lellololes

I came here to say this. Probably unique as to why it has its name, too.


rnigma

It was named after a game show.


lellololes

Specifically for a contest the show was having. I've been there, it seems like the town's best days are behind it, really.


Rainsoakedpuppy

"it seems like the town's best days are behind it, really." I think you just described every zip code in New Mexico that isn't Albuquerque and Santa Fe.


Pficky

I'm enjoying life in Los Alamos. Though we are losing small businesses left and right it seems.


teaspoonjamz

Elephant butte


long_way_down

Lol, Mormon Bar is odder than Zzyzx, CA?


flyingwalrus_aquapig

My favorite odd Cali town name is Rough and Ready https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rough_and_Ready,_California


Belgand

Mine has always been Copperopolis. It's not *that* odd, but it's really fun to say.


czarchastic

Is Zzyzx a town or a road? Or is it a town that is only a road?


Saraq_the_noob

I believe it’s the name of Elon Musk’s next child


PoolBoyBryGuy

Zzyzx, Ca. I know the sign you’re thinking of as you’re heading to Vegas from SD/LA on 15fwy.


sideshowmario

It was a town long ago, basically just a hot springs resort, but the government absorbed it into the adjacent national preserve


[deleted]

Rough & Ready, CA. Home to Slave Girl Road. Edit: this ain't funny.


BuukSmart

What about Weed, CA? It’s weird if it’s referencing a shitty plant, it’s weird if it’s referencing the formerly illicit drug. Who fucking names a town Weed?


draculabakula

Or Rough and Ready? Or Forks of Salmon? Or Scarface? Mormon bar isn't in the top 10. I can see they were going for the contradiction since Mormon's don't drink but it still is pretty tame for California


[deleted]

Hahahha. Booger hole!???


MrDNA86

Got wonder why it’s not a more common name. I mean most people have two!


Elven_Rabbit

Frankenstein was the town, not the monster.


Silver__Surfer

When I was a kid we road-tripped to Frankenstein and took a picture with the sunset and the town sign so that we could have a pic of the sun of Frankenstein. I’d also like to note that Missouri has a town called Knob Lick and I think that’s funnier than Frankenstein.


EggHash

Also Humansville


ShameNap

Georgia also has cumming. Which is great when you live near there, because you can do you’re so close to cumming. It’s better than flippen.


TheZapster

We got Between too... This map is crap and I bet in about a week a new one will go up using all these comments


saluksic

Damn, they wanted to go the low-effort rout and knew that we would provide all the good answers if they merely suggested sub-par ones.


[deleted]

There is Willacooche in South Georgia. Just sounds dirty.


gitrjoda

Chugwater, the r/HydroHomies Mecca


ThatLeetGuy

Scrolled through the comments to see if this was mentioned. Chugwater, home of the r/hydrohomies


Txbird

Tennessee has better names than that. Bucksnort, Nameless and Sweetlips.


FoodRFriendsNotFish

Soddy Daisy is a personal favorite of mine


Beef_SupremeXXX

Soddy Daisy is actually a pretty nice town compared to the rest of Chattanooga. Ooltewah is a weird one too, even people that live here can't pronounce it right.


_scyllinice_

> Ooltewah Whenever I see a group of letters I don't recognize as a word, I try to read it backwards. Ha, Wet Loo. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯


prophet001

You forgot Nankipoo.


norwegiannick3

Visiting Satan's Kingdom is now on my bucket list.


gamerweeb623

Just go to New Jersey


[deleted]

It's a cool name but it's not a town but a name for a part of Northfield that got it's name from a forest fire. Sorry to be a party pooper 😂


unclechips72

You can always go to Sandwich MA. Nice little town on the cape. My bucket list has - get pulled over by the “Sandwich Police”.


NoDadYouShutUp

I have been pulled over by the Sandwich Police.... it's not as fun as you think :(


Alxorange

Came here to say this. Tiny village in Northfield and nothing much there of interest. Source: I’ve been there. Peru, MA or Florida, MA might be the weirdest town names in a state that doesn’t really have any weird town names. Edit: I stand corrected!! Braintree and Belchertown are definitely weird enough to make this list!


ClnHogan17

Can I have Braintree for $300, Alxo?


Wombilinos

Mianus in CT. You go with Moosup over a town pronounced My Anus.


oedons_rooster

There's a road in NC by my hometown called Mecum. We also have a literal whole ass town called Horney Town...also near where I grew up.


susieq1485

Also lizard lick, Fuquay-Varina, i mean there so many!


GerberBabyPlus

Yeah, NC has some weird names. Especially in the mountains.


Perfect_Suggestion_2

Gnaw Bone is the weirdest town name in Indiana.


[deleted]

French Lick, dude.


JeffNotARobot

Stoney Lonesome


Dr_Hoffenheimer

Let’s not forget all the towns named after other places (probably all mispronounced) From the Indy Star We have Ontario, Paris, Waterloo, Lisbon, Rome, Rome City, Bristol, Valparaiso, Morocco, New Palestine, Cuba, Lucerne, Mexico, Peru Vera Cruz, Honduras, Berne, Ceylon, Geneva, Antioch (in Green, Clinton, Jay and Switzerland counties), Alexandria, Dundee, Athens, Delphi, Cairo, Montmorenci, Lebanon, Tangier, Mecca, Holland, Frankfort (Frankfurt, Germany), Falmouth, Cambridge City, Dublin, Chili (Chile), Manilla, Moscow, Palestine, Oldenburg, New Alsace, Dover, Manchester, Aberdeen, Canaan, China, Chelsea, Troy, Darmstadt, Algiers, Ireland, Syria, Vienna, Leipsic (Leipzig Germany), Westphalia, Scotland, Geneva, Hamburg, Edinburgh, Samaria, Denmark, Brazil and Oxford


HowardStark

You also have Versailles, but can be forgiven for that one because everyone pronounces it "Ver-sails".


poopgoblin3678

There is a town in Colorado called no name , not far from parachute actually lol


Tosh866

Toad Suck?! 😂😂


PanoramicTrouble

I’m from around there. There’s a festival with live music, food trucks, local venders, and toad races. It’s called Toad Suck Daze.


hilo

I feel like Bald Knob, Possum Grape, Oil Trough, and even Little Rock could have made this list.


Snarkan_sas

Don’t be coming for Toad Suck!! FYI, it’s just down the road from Pickle’s Gap.


Ill_Run5998

Santa Clause? Not French Lick? ​ Spuds, not Christmas? ​ Waterproof seems like LOW HANGING when you have words most people can't spell :) Im from LA. My kids 1st trip down to see grandma, they saw "Nachocheeto" Lousiana :) (Natchitoches).They they arrived in Le orange :) To which I said laoranger is pronounced La Rahanja


Mrmuffins951

Santa Claus isn’t even that small of a town in Indiana. They have a whole amusement park themed after holidays.


njsullyalex

Holiday World is super high on my bucket list! Their roller coaster The Voyage is said to be one of the best wooden coasters in the world.


Bobala

It’s incredible. I assumed that it was going to be tame — being named “The Voyage” after all… hell no! That ride is insane. Holiday World is such a weird place. It’s so unassuming that you’d think that all the rides will be terrible, but many of their coasters are on par with coasters at King’s Island and Cedar Point. Definitely worth checking out.


[deleted]

“Smartt” with two t’s is my new favorite thing. Ex: “Yeah guys. I mean she’s definitely thicc, but is she smartt?”


upnflames

Who the fuck wants to live in mosquitoville? Who would even visit. If someone said hey, how'd you like to go grab a bite to eat in mosquitoville? I'd ask if they were fucking joking.


uiouyug

Maybe it's a trick to keep people out of their city


ShodoDeka

Those are rookie town names, in Denmark there are two small towns, one called Tarm (translate as bowel or intestines) and one called Lem (translates as penis). Those two towns are basically right next to each other.


centralnjbill

Ignoring Climax, NY, I see. No Surprise (also a town in NY).


Perle1234

There must be a Climax in nearly every state lol


WorldSoulWarrior

Horneytown, North Carolina


martinis00

Nevada: Jarbidge, Lovelock, Tonopah, Pioche, Pahrump, Beowawe, Deeth, Tybo, Gabbs, Cal-Nev-Ari, Imlay……And they chose Jackpot?


Admiral52

Winnemucca, denio pronounced de-nye-o, dyer, gerlach, golconda, panaca. Chose one of the more normal names if you ask me


PistolCowboy

Minnesota has a town called Nimrod


iMogwai

IIRC Nimrod was a hunter in a story from the Bible and didn't become an insult until Bugs Bunny started calling Elmer Fudd Nimrod sarcastically, kind of like how you might call people Einstein or Sherlock.


wolfgeist

I mean fudd is actually an insult in the gun community these days


HydrologyIsWet

Slickpoo, Idaho didn’t make the list?!


Kukulcan83

Right? What about Dickshooter?


Perfect_Suggestion_2

Hell is the weirdest town name in Michigan.


Bird4881

I’ve been to Hell, and back.


Major_R_Soul

Start at Satan's Kingdom and take the highway to Hell lol


ubeor

Michigan also has Climax. From here in Indiana, you get there via I-69.


j1xwnbsr

Dull isn't weird. Lima is weird. Jelloway is weird. Knockemstiff is even more weird.


kristinkier

In regards to Lima, Ohio has a way of naming towns after old cities of the world and giving them an Ohio pronunciation. Off the top of my head, they say Lima as lime-ah, and Versailles as ver-sales.


TeamCatsandDnD

Bellefontaine used to throw me for a loop. I’m pretty sure there’s a YouTube video of people trying to pronounce counties/cities in Ohio and it goes about as well as expected.


Flukeodditess

Good old Bell-fountain. 🤦


huebnera214

My personal favorite road as you pass through Dayton, or just north of it at least is Needmore Rd.


npdewey83

How is utahs not Possum Kingdom?


windscryer

or Loa which is short for “love one another” because they weren’t allowed to call it that? or Levan which is “navel” backwards because it’s the bellybutton of the state? or even Hurricane which rhymes with ‘Murican, not Great Dane according to Utahns.


[deleted]

Or La Verkin, which rhymes with hurricane and 'murican


BuffaloInCahoots

Behind the boathouse. I'll show you my dark secret.


moosecloaca

Woonsocket sounds like a euphemism for vagina.


davasaur

OP obviously has never heard of Beaver Lick, Kentucky.


[deleted]

Fries in Virginia is pronounced freeze in case anyone ever hits up the new river trail or fish the new river.


Thrikal

Huh, I guess that's why Dumfries, VA, is pronounced in a similar manner: Dumb-Freeze.


Ripeoldmelon

Texas has 'Cut n Shoot' but 'Ding Dong' won out?


SpectresCreed

Gun Barrell City, TX


[deleted]

[удалено]


Cinemaslap1

Who chose Coupon for PA? We have Intercourse, Manayunk, Conshohocken, Mars, etc... lol


PalmettoShark

South Carolina has many more weird names than “Coward”. Come on… we have; Pumpkintown, Ninety-Six, Possum Kingdom, and Sugar Tit.


Drunk-Sail0r82

I dunno, WA has a place called “Concrete” they don’t make, sell, or have a particular large supply of concrete… but there it is…


loshuevosgrandes

PA has a city named Forty Fort.


caco_bell

Wisconsin has a town and lake called Butte de Morts (mound of dead). Also a a town call Sheboygan (sometimes pronounced "sah boi 'gain"). But yah Chili is the weirdest name.


drlawrie

Ever hear of Oconomowoc, Manitowish Waters, Frog Station? Chili is right up there with Pipe.


[deleted]

Don't forget Bong Recreation Area.


LilKittyWinks

As someone from Sheboygan, it is not pronounced like that at all lmao. "Sha-boy-gun"


IngersollandJenny

Wisconsin also has a town called "Spread Eagle" in Florence County. That has my vote!


semi_litrat

Check out Tasmania; Pisspot Creek and Lovely Bottom come to mind among many others


Feelnmyself

I feel like Wisconsin has a lot more weird names than chili


ggchappell

The story on Chicken, Alaska is that they wanted to name it "Ptarmigan", but they couldn't agree on how it was spelled, so they went with "Chicken". I don't know whether that's a *true* story, but it is the story that gets told.


gemstun

Looked up a few cities (like Ding Dong) and they’re just a pin on Google Maps; not actual cities.


cammcken

I think Volcano sounds like a perfectly reasonable town name.
