Funny Place Names.

[Rita]

England has some of the funniest names for towns:

Wetwang
Pity Me
No Name
Rushhome
Ramsbottom
Swine

to name but a few.

Anyone care to add to my list from your area?

Intercourse (Pennsylvania, USA)
Two Egg, (Florida, USA)
Hot Coffee, (Mississippi, USA)
Truth Or Consequences, (New Mexico, USA)
China Grove, (Texas, USA)
China Grove, (Texas) (yes two of 'um)
and, last, but not least,
Boring, (Oregon, USA)
and, one in Spain that refers to a derogatory name for the female anatomy (but the board won't allow the name...)

We all know Kissimmee...Florida.

Certainly Australia does quite well in the silly place names stakes. We’ve got:
"Bunyip"
"Nar Nar Goon"
"Dunnydoo" (NSW)
"Innaloo" (WA)
And of course "Poowong" (Vic)
"Middle Intercourse Island" (Qld)
My personal favourite "Iron Knob" (SA)
"Mount Buggery" (Vic)
"Tittybong" (Vic).
"Wagga Wagga" (NSW) Just to name a few.

NSW = New South Wales
WA = Western Australia
Vic = Victoria
Qld = Queensland
SA = South Australia:)

LLANFAIRPWLLGWYNGYLLGOGERYCHWYRNDROBWLLLLANTYSILIO GOGOGOCH, Anglesy, Wales

The name is Welsh for "St Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel near to the rapid whirlpool and the church of St Tysilio of the red cave".
Been there and the name is bigger than the actual place.

Can you imagine spelling that on your mail and if you spelled it wrong and it was sent back? Yikes!

[Rita]

They just write: 'LLANFAIR'.
Saves paper and ink.
