I "stole" this, from a friend! 
What I wanna know, can anyone top these? 
Worst Town Names in the World!
22. Cockburn, Western Australia
Although this name is often pronounced "Coburn" by those who stand to lose from its awfulness, who actually reads that when they see this word? Oh, how it burns.
21. Twatt, Orkney, Shetland Islands, Scotland
The Shetland Islands, pronounced "Shitland Islands" if you have an accent like mine, make up a happy little area north of Scotland where it's too cold for trees to grow. I am related to approximately half the population of the Shetland Islands, share a last name with a quarter of them, and can probably trace my ancestry back to Twatt if I try hard enough. The pride! (this is not me now, it's my friend. I'm still trying to think of the good ones in Sweden)
20. Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu, New Zealand
Locals call this hill in Hawke's Bay "Taumata" because... Well. Just because.
19. Muff, Ireland
We here at Drivl love puerile humour. They have a town called Muff. Har har har.
18. Looneyville, Texas, United States
Little Looneyville was named for storekeeper John Looney in the early 1870s. But who gives a shit. This is a hilarious name for a town in the state that brought us Dallas, the Bush Twins and Waco. How awkward must that be when you go to college? "Hey guys, my name's Sue and I'm from Looneyville!"
17. Titty Hill, Sussex, England
Falling squarely into the extensive Stupid Place Names From England category, Titty Hill is probably located just north of...
16. Thong, Kent, England
Which actually is south-east of...
15. Gravesend, Kent, England
Oh, come on, England. Graves End? What a nasty, depressing little name. You could have at least gone all the way with this one and called it Corpse Feet.
14. Wetwang, Yorkshire... yep! England again!
Okay, so I'll cut England some slack. It's an old country. You know, if the United States is Google, then England is IBM. Their country is older than fucking dirt. They can't be blamed for having names that sound funny in 2007. But this is kind of ridiculous. Wetwang? I'm surprised they don't have towns called Squishy Vagina or Infected Scrotum.
13. Spread Eagle, Wisconsin
If I were mayor of Spread Eagle, I'd be making diplomatic advances towards the city leaders over in Wetwang to form a Sister-City relationship. Or maybe more of a Platonic-Friends-City relationship. After that, we'd just take thing slow and see what happened.
12. Bald Knob, Arkansas, United States
Well, I guess it's better than Hairy Knob. I assume England already has that one covered.
11. Cockup, Cumbria, England
Cumbria is a county in the very north-west of England. What the backwoods of Alabama are to America is what Cumbria is to Britain. They talk funny up there. Thus, it isn't thoroughly surprising that they have a town called Cockup. What do you call someone from this place? A Cockupper? Cockupeleite? Cockuppian? Cockupican? I suppose it's mildly better than Wetwangger.
10. Whiskey Dick Mountain, Washington State, United States
As hard as America tries, it can't compete with Britain's high standards. This was a good effort, though. Well done, Washington.
9. Hookersville, West Virginia
Undoubtedly named before "hooker" meant "prostitute who picks men up on street corners," Hookersville combines two crimes of place-naming. One, a dirty sounding adjective (they couldn't have chosen "Pleasant"? "Sunny"? "Happy"?) And two, they added "ville" to the end of the town's name. Affixing "ville" to the end of a town's name is like dressing your silly little dog in a cardigan and letting him carry his leash around in his mouth. It just makes the poor animal look fucking stupid.
8. Hell, Michigan, United States
The people in this town at least seem to have a good sense of humour about their home's unfortunate name. Although, I'm sure there's some midwestern idiots in Hell who get all offended and defensive when the town shows up on lists like this. I'm looking forward to reading their insightful emails and comments.
7. Toad Suck, Arkansas, United States
So that's what they do down in the big AR.
6. Middelfart, Denmark
I guess it's not so funny to them, but how do we know that "Seattle" doesn't mean "Big Fat Stinking Turd" in Danish? That's right, we don't. And it probably does.
5. Horneytown, North Carolina, United States
Its proximity to Hookersville, West Virginia is no coincidence. I also assume that, like Hookersville, the naming of Horneytown took place before "horney" meant "aching for a hot piece of ass" with the extra "e". But I'm starting to wonder why, pride and tradition aside, the townspeople in these little places never saw it fit to change their homes' names? Do they enjoy being ridiculed by the entire English-speaking world?
4. Shitterton, Dorset, England
I wonder if they bleep out the first part of Shitterton's name if it's mentioned on TV in America?
3. Disappointment, Kentucky, United States
Le sigh. Never mind. You live in a small town in Kentucky. At least it was appropriately named.
2. Fucking, Austria
The idiots who live in Fucking, Austria had a vote in 2004 to determine whether or not they should change the town's name, and you know what they did? They voted against it, preferring instead to put up with international ridicule, numerous stolen road-signs and horrific Google results. (How would you report on American TV, about an event in Fucking, Australia? Bleeeeeep, Australia?  )
But the hands-down winner, again from New Zealand is:
1. Whakapapa
Why is this the worst place name in the world? In Maori, the native language of New Zealand, the "wh" sound is pronounced "f". Say it aloud in your office and see what happens.
Note: If you don't repost this within 7 mins of reading this post to 101 friends NOTHING will happen to you. This isn't high school anymore folks!
Funny stuff, aye? Now for humorless numbskulls!
Yes I can figure that the names might carry a different meaning then us dirtyminded buggers laugh at, but that's the fun!
I know what Middlefart means in Danish (the same as in Swedish), but that would take away any humor.
NOW EVERYBOD TRY TO BEST THESE. I'm eagerly awaiting, and thinking hard myself! |

Hell exists in Norway too, and I've passed through it many times. As it is close to a regional airport, it has a Rica Hell Hotel. I am NOT making this up.
 ♫ New York, New York, it's a wonderful town. ♫ 
SverigesAngel replies on 5/27/2007 9:07 pm:
Oh I believe you, truly! It makes sense for us Nordic to name something Hell though, since Hel was our Goddess of the underworld! Ummmmm, actually I'm pretty sure the word Hell as we know it stems from Odens Dotter! She was the daughter of Odin, right?  |

Lol I missed Rica = Rika Hell Hotellet? |

Quoting Baltasar45:

The Norse land of the dead was Helheim (Hell-home) and the Nordic word Helvete stems from it. According to the Wikipedia, Hel was the daughter of Loke, and sister of the Fenris Wolf and The Midgard Serpent.
Rica is a hotel chain and this is pasted from their website:
Rica Hell Hotel
Rica Hell Hotel is one of Norway's largest course and conference hotels, offering an ideal venue for business travellers, for those looking for somewhere to stay before going off on holiday, and for business and organisations wanting to arrange conferences.
An extension to Rica Hell Hotel will be completed in 2006. This extension will provide 132 new rooms and expand the conference area with a new, modern meeting room and large communal areas. In addition, Rica Travel Hotel and Rica Hell Hotel are being built next to each other, which will give 380 rooms after the expansion.
♫ New York, New York, it's a wonderful town. ♫
SverigesAngel replies on 5/29/2007 1:11 pm:
Yep u right oh Norwegian master, Loki's daughter it was! Hell get confused about all our old gods at times. Here is what I found in Wikipedia, in Swedish about Hel:
"Hel var dotter till Loke och Angerboda i nordisk mytologi och härskarinna i en del av underjorden som hette Niflheim som var motsvarigheten till hjältarnas Valhall. Hel regerade över de minst hjältemodiga själarna som inte dött i strid därför kom kvinnor, barn och gamla dit. Hel byggde skeppet Nagelfar av döda människors naglar som skulle användas mot asarna vid Ragnarök. Hel hade ett sällsynt otrevligt yttre. Hon var till hälften en vacker ung kvinna, till hälften en gammal hagga. Man kan se hennes namn i det svenska ordet helvete. Hel hade ett bordsfat som hette Hunger, en kniv som hette Svält, en säng som hette Sjukläger med ett sängöverkast vid namn Glänsande ofärd och en tröskel vid namn Fallande fördärv.
Det bör också påpekas att den nordiska versionen av helvetet var ett fruset och isigt ställe där köld, skräck och en otrolig stank härskade i luften."
Never knew that the air stank though!
I'll check out the hotel chains tonight. |

Where did you get such a funny list?
I was pointed to Smackass gap, North Carolina. That's rather fucking funny.

From you of course and you know it to smart ass, lol!
Haven't had time to think of any myself. Think my brain is still "Sun cooked", from the time on the lake, at least my thoughts feel very sluggish. Then to much beer does not help either! |

How about uranus, new jersey... Saw a funny skit by those guys on wild boys. They were there asking residents questions like; what do you do for fun in uranus? Have you ever had a celebrity in uranus? Whats the largest population youve ever had in uranus? Fell out laughing, think Id have to move to somewhere with a real cool name, like bald knob, or toad suck, lol. They have a huge festival every year where they bring in all the bald knobs and and treat em to a good ol toad suck....

We have Rutland here in Vermont. It scored us an Eric Idle performance a few years back.  Apparently a few other states have them as well as he was traveling around and performing in "all" of them in the US.
