Funny place names...

[Nevin]

Has anyone got any amusing place names to report? It might be a village or town that you live in, or somewhere you have heard of. For example, I used to drive through Christmas Pie on a regular basis!

My favourite place is Dildo, in Newfoundland.

[Hayhoe]

Hertfordshire is home to Bummer's Hill, and of course Minges.

[flanker]

How about Pratts Bottom in Kent?

[sprogglin]

Bott Hole in Yorkshire.

[maggsy69]

I live near a town called 'no place' and another town called 'pity me'

[hectic]

I used to go to a place on holiday in southern ireland called Ballybunion! On the isle of man there is a road called Boilley Spittal which is a bit strange!

[AlFas]

There's a national park in the USA (somewhere between Phoenix and San Diego I think) called Prescott. Not funny in itself, but there is a big sign that proudly announces 'You are now entering Prescott'. It's funny when all you've seen is desert for 2 days!

[IndieSinger]

HAHAHA 'KILLBURN' that's fantastic!! *Sighs and wipes tear from eye*.

 

On the way up to Edinburgh, I go past a place called Gifford which always makes me laugh. As already stated, Wide Open makes me giggle like a little girl frequently, too. I also pass a place called Shilbottle, whose roadsigns often get graffitied...

Little Snoring and Great Snoring in Norfolk

[newtron]

There's a town in New Mexico that used to be called hot Springs, but changed it's name to Truth or Consequences after a game show.  I believe they got some money out of it.

[DorsetJay]

I think I'm right in saying that there's a place here in Dorset called Windy Bottom.

[Headtime]

"Brown Willy" on Dartmoor...also there are two willages near where I grew up called "Outer Ting Tong" and "Inner Ting Tong".

[georgit79]

Windy Bottom! Someone's having a laugh, surely! Or a curry...

Putting together an engineering project at Horney Common in East Sussex, regularly drive past a road sign to Land of Nod when visiting Mum in Yorkshire. Better still, a mate of mine coined a phrase in the summer when following through during a fart..it's a "shart", I near did the same in Hampshire misreading a road sign to S Harting!
