Funny place names

[ZombieFriedNuts]

Ok I live near a couple of places that are quite funny if you’ve never heard them before for example “Chipping Sodbury” yep actual place, not quite as funny but “The Shoe” consists of a pub and about four houses.
So anybody got funny names

I live not too far from Cut-n-Shoot, Texas and Dime Box, Texas. Up near Dallas/Ft. Worth is the town of Dish which used to be the town of Clark until they agreed to change the name to Dish in exchange for free Dish network satellite TV service for all of the resident. That's got to be the dumbest reason for a town name I've ever heard.

Well Whakarewarewa and Whakatane are 2 places not very far from where I live. It is so funny hearing American tourists trying to pronounce them after hearing someone else say it. This is because in Maori 'Wha' is pronounced similar to 'Far' and while we think nothing of saying it, Americans always hesitate or purposely pronounce it wrong because it sounds exactly like swearing.

Then there is one story my math teacher told me (he is from England) about when he first started staying in NZ. One of his Scottish friends told him "Come with us we're going to Whakatane." and his response was "OK, but whats a Tane?"


Pretty bad joke, I know.

Intercourse, Pennsylvania.

Ah, yes, Intercourse - that's not too far from my home. You know that a short drive from Intercourse leads you to Paradise - but take the long route via Gap since the scenery is pretty. Exploring the roads in that area too long and you'll end up in Blue Ball. Also in this neck of the woods is the small town of Bird-in-Hand, which is, in fact, worth two in the bush.

I still remember the story of a German or Austrian town Fuc****ing and its frustrated mayor who was complaining that whenever English 'tourists' ( a sort of them) come here they usually have to buy new signs with the name of the town...

There is a place in Bern called Wankdorf. 'Dorf' meaning village. I only realised when some Irish mates, who went to see Switzerland playing, brought it to my attention. Very odd. I cannot say that name in good conscience any longer.

Incidentally, the stadium is called Wankdorf Stadion.
