The number of communities in the world with awesome names is endless. Putting minds properly gutter-wise, I decided to concentrate on the giggle-worthy ones. Here's a decently long list, illustrated with signs from the communities. I guess I should warn that it's perhaps NSFW, though there's not much I can do about that. These
are the proper names, after all.
The infamous community of Dildo, Newfoundland. Nearby, there's also a 'Dildo Island' and a 'Dildo Arm'.
Intercourse, which is in Pennsylvania. Population 1,558.
Witness was filmed there.
Knob Lick, Missouri. Where
Witness wasn't filmed.
This delightful name shows up on a lot of these lists, including the book
Rude Britain - which suggests it's in the UK. Can't tell you much more than that, though.
This lovely place, which so many men have been looking for, is in Savoie. Which is in France. Apparently the name comes from the Gallo-Roman name "Pusiacum", which is in no way any less funny.
Anus is also in France. Not
that near the one before it, as it turns out, but in Burgundy. And 'Anus in Burgundy' should most definitely be the name of a work of art.
Here's Muff, in County Donegal, Ireland. It's a suburb of Derry, a/k/a Londonderry, which is kinda in a different country.
There's no real point in spending too long in the UK, as
Rude Britain has done the job well. How can you say no to Penistone, though? It's pronounced to rhyme with Jennifer Aniston, though - or, if you prefer, with Cece Peniston. And with 10,000 dwellers, it's probably the biggest community here.
This fine locale is in Bavaria. There is a building there called "Wank-Haus", whose picture I desperately wanted to include. But why break the trend?
This popular destination is in Orkney, where people like to pose with the sign pointing to them. People are self-effacing and oh-so-clever.
This charming community in the Philippines seems to have changed its name to the less enjoyable 'Sasmuan', which probably really bugged that guy in the orange jacket.
There are three different states in the USA that have a Climax: Michigan, Minnesota and Pennsylvania (where Intercourse also is, of course). Now 'climax' is not only a naughty word. Novels, for example, have climaxes. But that's not what you think of when you see this name, is it?
For reference purposes, for those who haven't been able to figure it out for themselves: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Intercourse,+PA,+United+States&daddr=Climax,+PA,+United+States&hl=en&geocode=FeDsYgIdB7t2-ym7G_rMtDjGiTFs3nTVfH4VqQ%3BFUU7aAIdGqlI-ynXsNXQQDnLiTEc41kMQyeN5Q&mra=ls&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=33.02306,79.013672&ie=UTF8&z=8 is a map from Intercourse to Climax. It apparently takes 3 hours 48 minutes, and Google Maps advises whet everyone else already knows:
This route has tolls.
A few street names? This chaste place is in Amber Valley, UK.
I've already devoted an entire entry to this one, but it's too good to ignore.
How can I possibly give up fair England, home to places like this? 'Fanny' means different things on either side of 'the pond', but it's even naughtier in the UK.
Charming one here. Don't know where it is, though I can at least say it looks North American.
This awkward one is a train station in Toronto. Viagra strikes again.
This horrifying one is in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. No idea what was going on in
that community when they were naming streets.
This one is on the Busch Campus of Rutgers University, in New Jersey. It's just off Hoes Lane, which proves the whole area was named by drunk fratboys.
This one is in Hong Kong, where the obvious fact that this is a transliteration from Chinese makes it no less awesome.
Who am I kidding? How can I ignore the English, when they keep producing things like this one, in Besthorpe, Norfolk?
And lastly, where would I be if I missed out on this town in Austria, king of rude names, illustrated here with pictures of children. Because things are
different in Austria.
I
did remind you it was NSFW.
