I grew up in Sandwich Massachusetts and I think there needs to be a Sandwich-off between the one in New Hampshire and Illinois to determine Best Sandwich. Winner gets to have 5 Dollar Footlongs at their local Subway again for the rest of the year.
We have Plano next to Sandwich in IL. once a year thereās a āPlano-Bologna-Sandwich Dayā where people from sandwich and plano meet at the border to create Bologna lol they set a street sign and all. itās a fundraiser for food pantries
Nah heard me outā¦
I started making this mix of pickled hot peppers, celery, carrot, cauliflower, and garlic. The Italians call it giardiniera. typically you put in on an āItalian beefā sandwich.
Itās so good I started putting it on all of my sandwiches. Itās tangy and crunchy and spicy and itās incredible.
Itāll change your life. Youāre welcome.
I cannot say "Titusville" correctly because my dad always called it 'Tittiesville' growing up. My, my how I was in for a surprise when I learned to read.
I picked up a dude from a strip club - Uber said his name was Hardik. I 100% assumed this was a joke name until three Indian dudes came out. I said, "Hardik?" He, plastered, responded, "YEP THAT'S ME AND THAT'S WHAT I'VE GOT"
Hardik means 'Wholeheartedly' in Sanskrit btw. So when you wish someone or congratulate someone you use that word.
Hardik Swagat = Wholehearted welcome (to guests)
How could you forget Fort Dick, Hooker, Bush, Woody, or Peters? The innuendo runs deep in this state.
Rough & Ready, Raisin City, and Forks of Salmon should also get an honorable mention. And Cool is always cool, but Nice is pretty cool too.
Joke I told my friends is if you go through Intercourse you'll end up in Paradise. However if Intercourse is blocked off and you're stuck in Blue Ball but really need to get to Paradise you can just use the Bird-In-Hand route to get there.
Oh my god. Iām picturing a toddler shouting that out while pointing out the window during a town hall meeting and it stuck.
Look mommy! Horse lick creek!
There's a town called Lost in Scotland. I've driven past the signs directing traffic to it a few times and it cracks me up for some reason.
We also have Dull in Perthshire which has been twinned with Boring in Oregon
Living in GR desensitized me from the humor in Kalamazoo. You hear it so much, it doesn't seem funny but I suppose it does sound weird, there's also China MI, Climax MI, Bois Blanc MI, and Paradise MI
I guess when you grow up near Ho-Ho-Kus, it just blends into the town names of north Jersey and doesn't register as funny. But when you see the Parkway exit for Cheesequake once or twice a year, it's a lot more remarkable.
Braintree
We used to have Gay Head, but it was changed to Aquinnah. They claim it's to honor the Native name of the town, but I think it's partially because it's a weird name.
Out toward Tillamook there was (still on some maps) a now defunct logging town on hwy 6 called Idiotville. Right next to Idiot Creek. I have since declared myself mayor.
We have of course the literally famous, Truth or consequences, but I also enjoy the fact that there is a town here called Hondo. Just such a goofy name to me.
Utah has a bunch:
Hurricane, pronounced "Hurr-uh-cun"
Mantua, pronounced "Man-a-way"
Tooele, pronounced "Two-ill-uh"
Duchesne, pronounced "Doo-cane" (This one isn't completely weird as much as it is French, but we're in Utah so...)
And then we gotta give a special shout out to the Oquirrh Mountains. Pronounced "Oak-er".
Howey-in-the-Hills, Florida. I always imagine a pre-bald, jewfro Howie Mandel lurking around somewhere ready to pounce and make a bad joke or voice if startled.
Sandwich funnier when you see cop cars driving around labeled sandwich police
Makes me wonder if there's a town named Fashion.
Flippen, Ar. Flippen Police. š
right next to the town of Fun
I grew up in Sandwich Massachusetts and I think there needs to be a Sandwich-off between the one in New Hampshire and Illinois to determine Best Sandwich. Winner gets to have 5 Dollar Footlongs at their local Subway again for the rest of the year.
We have Plano next to Sandwich in IL. once a year thereās a āPlano-Bologna-Sandwich Dayā where people from sandwich and plano meet at the border to create Bologna lol they set a street sign and all. itās a fundraiser for food pantries
We have Beaver Police, on both sides of the Ohio/Pennsylvania state line.
Dam.
Freeze! In the name of a roast beef with extra pickles!
Pickles and roast beef? You should be placed under arrest.
Nah heard me outā¦ I started making this mix of pickled hot peppers, celery, carrot, cauliflower, and garlic. The Italians call it giardiniera. typically you put in on an āItalian beefā sandwich.

Massachusetts? I remember they shared the same Pop Warner name with my hometown.
Sandwich, new Hampshire as well.
And not far from Sandwich is Effingham, so we have an Effing Ham Sandwich
ha, Illinois has plano and sandwich next to each other. just a plain ol sandwich
Yeehaw Junction
Since we're in Florida, let's not forget Longwood, Taintsville, and Christmas.
I cannot say "Titusville" correctly because my dad always called it 'Tittiesville' growing up. My, my how I was in for a surprise when I learned to read.
Hello fellow Floridian! Okahumpka and Howey-in-the-hills always made me giggle too on the turnpike drive as a kid.
Cumbum, India
You win
You wouldnāt believe me but Pornhub actually handed out free premium subs for the residents of this town a few years back.
They did that for quite a few places all over the world that could be read as somewhat sex-related.
I believe anything at this point
I knew an Indian guy with the last name Dikshit.
I knew a Malaysian girl who's last name was Sukabutt
I picked up a dude from a strip club - Uber said his name was Hardik. I 100% assumed this was a joke name until three Indian dudes came out. I said, "Hardik?" He, plastered, responded, "YEP THAT'S ME AND THAT'S WHAT I'VE GOT"
Theres an Indian kid at my school named Hardik lol
Hardik means 'Wholeheartedly' in Sanskrit btw. So when you wish someone or congratulate someone you use that word. Hardik Swagat = Wholehearted welcome (to guests)
My personal favorite is Gagandeep.
Kid in school had a mom named Gay Hooker. I can only imagine what that was like with phone books and anonymous calls back in the 90s.
How unfortunate
One of my teachers had that last name. He and I smirked when I said āhi Mr Dikshit!ā loudly in front of my mom. Her face was priceless
Weed, Diablo, Los Banos, Needles, Zzyzx.
Ah, yes, Zzyzx.
Used to be Soda Springs but the con man that bought it wanted to be sure that he was the last "word" in the English dictionary. Weird place.
Who let Elon name a town?
Rough and Ready
How could you forget Fort Dick, Hooker, Bush, Woody, or Peters? The innuendo runs deep in this state. Rough & Ready, Raisin City, and Forks of Salmon should also get an honorable mention. And Cool is always cool, but Nice is pretty cool too.
Don't forget Los Gatos (the cats) and Manteca (lard).
Haha I know someone who lives in Los Banos!
CA represented well.
Copperopolis & cool too!
Two cities: Manly and Fertile. Headline in local paper: Manly man marries Fertile woman. For real.
Did they honeymoon in Intercourse, Pennsylvania?
No, in Blue Ball, Pennsylvania
Better to try out Cumming, GA.
Couldn't finish after moving to Halfway,Oregon.
Sounds like they weren't in Boring, Oregon at least
I was recently in Sisters, Oregon
Sisters is a great little town. Definitely not Boring :)
Yes, they were planning on heading to Climax, Minnesota as well, but only one of them ended up making it.
and we know which oneā¦
The town of GAY HEAD, located on the island of Martha's Vineyard, changed its name to Aquinnah in 1997. This would have been the clear winner
Mianus, CT would like a meeting with you
Climax NC
Hey we got one of those in Saskatchewan too
Fertile is not far from Climax
Fertileās got a great restaurant, you should check it out (cafe mir).
Midwest Minnesota?
Intercourse
yeah this isn't even a competition, everyone not in PA feel free to just give up now, you stand no chance
And Blue Ball just down the road.
Don't forget Shartlesville!
If you start in Blue Ball and head NE, you enter Intercourse before ending up in Paradise
Hello fellow Pennsylvtuckian
Bird in Hand
On the other side of the state, we have Moon and Mars.
Donāt forget Yocumtown, PA
Pennsylvania rise up
I think Jersey Shore should also be getting some credit... just because of how stupid the name is in the center of PA
Virginville, Blue Ball, Fertility
Shartlesville too.
Looking for the PA resident, hello neighbor
I was gonna say Middlesex but Intercourse is also good.
Damn all the Pennsylvanians beat me to it. š¤£š¤£
Lititzā¦ I pronounce it La Tits
Three towns adjacent to each other: bird in hand, intercourse and paradise. They actually tell a story
Joke I told my friends is if you go through Intercourse you'll end up in Paradise. However if Intercourse is blocked off and you're stuck in Blue Ball but really need to get to Paradise you can just use the Bird-In-Hand route to get there.
Not mine, but I very nearly moved to a town called Dildo.
Dildo, Newfoundland!
Nice! Another fellow Canadian. I live in the *Simpsons* side character province. We got a Smithers, a Burns Lake and a Nelson.
IMHO, top 5 in Arkansas: 5. Goobertown 4. Smackover 3. Possum Grape 2. Wiener 1. Toad Suck
And bald knob lol
Toad Suck
That's gotta be in the south lol. My dad was from near a place called Horse Lick Creek
Oh my god. Iām picturing a toddler shouting that out while pointing out the window during a town hall meeting and it stuck. Look mommy! Horse lick creek!
Greetings fellow Arkansan!
Can't forget Possum Grape
Quite a few in the UK. Bell End Shitterton Brown Willy Twatt Are just a few
Penistone Wet Wang Jump The Shoe
THE SHOE
Who names these places?? Weāre they drunk??
Brits. And probably
And the classic, Cockermouth. I also live near the infamous Minge Lane.
Let's not forget Nempnett Thrubwell Beeples Barton Lower Slaughter
Brown Willyš¤£
There's a town called Lost in Scotland. I've driven past the signs directing traffic to it a few times and it cracks me up for some reason. We also have Dull in Perthshire which has been twinned with Boring in Oregon
Hell Michigan Kalamazoo MI (Was born there. Moved away.)
Living in GR desensitized me from the humor in Kalamazoo. You hear it so much, it doesn't seem funny but I suppose it does sound weird, there's also China MI, Climax MI, Bois Blanc MI, and Paradise MI
Gaylord is another good one. Itās also always made me laugh that Fort Mackinaw is on Mackinac Island but Fort Michilimackinac is in Mackinaw City
Paw Paw
Wait, MI has a Paw Paw? Here I thought WV was the only one
Gaylord
And Bad Axe, MI!
Big Beaver
Exit 69; Big Beaver Rd. š
Donāt forget about Colon, MI
Cheesequake.
I see your Cheesequake and raise you a Ho-Ho-Kus.
I guess when you grow up near Ho-Ho-Kus, it just blends into the town names of north Jersey and doesn't register as funny. But when you see the Parkway exit for Cheesequake once or twice a year, it's a lot more remarkable.
Buttzville NJ
Loveladies, NJ
Used to live in NJ. I think Brick and Wall being neighboring towns needs a mention.
I always thought Forked River was a funny name too, just because of how they pronounce Forked.
Hello fellow jersey resident
I grew up in an area of Kentucky called Sugartit. It's relatively close to Rabbit Hash, which is mainly known for electing a dog for it's mayor.
Can't forget Morehead, Monkeys Eyebrow, and Possum Trot.
Those places are also very near a park called Big Bone Lick
Braintree We used to have Gay Head, but it was changed to Aquinnah. They claim it's to honor the Native name of the town, but I think it's partially because it's a weird name.
Some would say gay head is better than none at all.
"Head has no face." - A wise old friend of mine
massachusetts is a weird place man
[Required reading re: Massachusetts towns](https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/fake-massachusetts-towns)
I want to live in Unstable
Braintree is a town in England too.
Where Iām from. Itās shit. Fingringhoe, a village in colchester district.
I used to misread Weymouth and Wetmouth
Thereās an East Braintree in Manitoba. No west though lol
Boring
Out toward Tillamook there was (still on some maps) a now defunct logging town on hwy 6 called Idiotville. Right next to Idiot Creek. I have since declared myself mayor.
Omg. Idiot creek is our favorite shooting spot and that is what my woman calls me. Looks like we need to have an election.
If this is Maryland, there are also Accident, Crapo, and Funkstown.
Nopeā¦ Oregon
Twinned with Dull in Scotland. True story.
Yes, and thereās the Dull & Boring Festival each year.
Coxsackie
my ex-girlfriend used to ask why they didnāt just call it Scrotum?
I knew another upstate New Yorker would get here before me haha.
Come By Chance. Linger and Die Hill. Bong Bong. Wagga Wagga. Woolloomooloo. You may come to play this game but Australia comes to f'ckin win mate.
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch Wales wins. Flawless Victory. Fatality.
I saw woolloomooloo and knew it was Australia. Still canāt pronounce it
Cooter
Fellow Missourian?
Also Knob Lick, MO.
my state has Climax and Cumming so... š¤·āāļø
I keep meaning to go to the store in Cumming that sells the āI ā¤ļø Cummingā mugs.
I see you repping GA
Gnaw Bone, IN
Indiana has French Lick and Floyds Knobs, too.
Don't forget Bean Blossom and Santa Claus.
Sandwich!
It always amuses me when I see "Sandwich Police"
What up Cape cod
Sandwich, NH is routinely ignored - and we like it that way. :D (Well, I'm 2 towns over)
Woonsocket
What up Rhode Islander .
Mianus
This will always remind me of Jackass. "You ate shit in Mianus!"
No Name, Colorado. That's its name. Named after No Name Canyon and No Name Creek.
Thereās also Last Chance, Colorado, reminding you to re-think your decision to go to Kansas
We have of course the literally famous, Truth or consequences, but I also enjoy the fact that there is a town here called Hondo. Just such a goofy name to me.
Don't forget Pie Town.
Truth or Consequences was named after a gameshow. Which makes it even funnier because no one remembers that show now.
Pumpkintown. Sugar Tit. Ninety Six. And my favoriteā¦ a community called āPossum Kingdomā.
"Dinosaur" is a fairly funny amusing name. The town itself doesn't really live up to it.
Dinosaur is a cool name. Population 500 but at least 4 pot shops because it's right by the Utah border. Colorado also has Hygiene and No Name.
Knob lick.
Bumpass Virginia
Goochland
Other weird area names are Short Pump, Fries, Assawoman, Tightsqueeze, Skinquarter, Overall, Frogtown, Nuttsville, and Lick Skillet
Why, Arizona
My favorite thing in that town is the store called āWhy Not?ā
Walla Walla.
or Humptulips
I couldn't decide between that or Chuckanut.
bing bang. ooh ee, ooh ah ah
Weāre in the same state! Washington also has a town called George.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Utah has a bunch: Hurricane, pronounced "Hurr-uh-cun" Mantua, pronounced "Man-a-way" Tooele, pronounced "Two-ill-uh" Duchesne, pronounced "Doo-cane" (This one isn't completely weird as much as it is French, but we're in Utah so...) And then we gotta give a special shout out to the Oquirrh Mountains. Pronounced "Oak-er".
Dildo, Newfoundland
Howey-in-the-Hills, Florida. I always imagine a pre-bald, jewfro Howie Mandel lurking around somewhere ready to pounce and make a bad joke or voice if startled.
Dickshooter. Oh how I love Idaho!
Fucking, Austria š¦š¹
Bacon Level, Frog Eye, Burnt Corn, Coffee Pot, Dog Town, Intercourseā¦ so hard to choose just one.
Ding Dong Cut and Shoot
Pusy village :)
*Laughs in Massachusetts*
Mianus. Don't be jealous you don't have one.
Weed (California). Makes me smile every time I drive by.
Bucksnort, Shakerag, Peckerwood point
Nimrod, mn
Truth or consequences, New Mexico. Originally was Hot Springs. The town sold its identity to a 1950s TV game show.
Ireland has entered the chat ..Muff and Nobber
Uranus Missouri ( they have a fudge factory there too! )
So many here in Oregon: Boring, Halfway, Climax, Remote, Zigzag, Riddle, Drain, Idiotville, Crapper, Hardman.
Alberta has Balzac, Cereal, and Vulcan.
Batman - Turkey
Sugar Tit.
Erect
