    There's a few towns here in Pennsylvania with funny names. Some of the best include Intercourse, Blue Ball, Bird-in-hand, Fertility, Lickdale, Virginville.

    We have a few other names like Pillow, PA, but those aren't as funny as the dirty-sounding names. However, it still is an odd choice for a town name.

    I can't think of anything fantastic, but around here we have "Coffee county" and "Bacon county".

    I've suggested in the past, they combine to form a stronger "Breakfast County". Even if they aren't directly neighboring.

    Ireland has weird names for places a lot of them include Bally or kill. It has some funny ones too Dicksboro, Spunkane, Fartrim, Cum, Slutsend, Bastardstown, Fannystown, Lousy Bush and Muff. Believe it or not Muff does have a diving club even called the Muff Diving Club. Obviously no one in Muff is common with the slang of what Muff Diving means.

    Not sure that this constitutes as weird, but in Northern California, there's a town called Weed. People in nor cal make jokes about it all the time haha.

    I've never heard of her, but that's awesome haha! I've never even been to the town, but I think I've gone through part of it on a train once haha. I live in central cal, so I live like 5 hours away from Weed haha. Weed is a pretty little mountain town I think.

    I'll check it out, thank you! :slight_smile:

    I've never even heard of that show before haha. I don't have cable or satellite or whatever people have for TV these days, so I don't get a lot of channels or shows lol. We have local channels at my house, but I end up watching Netflix more than anything else anyways haha :joy:

    I'd hate to live in that town. I'm sure sending mail and filling out forms is a nightmare. I couldn't even pronounce that.
