22 Worst Town Names in the World - Google these names- THEY ARE REALLY REAL!!!
22 Worst Town Names in the World
If these town names were used in a novel, no one would believe they were real!
When the writers at Drivl.com looked at a map of England, they realized the town names read like an erotic novel. It turns out, England isn't alone. So with an amazing world map and an equally amazing sense of humor, those Drivl.com editors, led by Jane Copland, came up with a list of the absolutely worst place names. And yes, they are all real. This is no work of fiction.
They all have one thing in common: Each is so bad it would be embarrassing to list it as your address.
Heading the list of the worst names is Whakapapa, a town in New Zealand. At first glance, it's more confusing than horrible. Here's the secret to understanding why it got the top spot: In Maori, the native language of New Zealand, the "wh" sound is pronounced "f." Say it aloud...and you'll understand.
The worst place names in the world:
1. Fuck1ng, Austria
2. Disappointment, Kentucky
3. Shitterton, Dorset, England
4. Horneytown, North Carolina
5. Middelfart, Denmark
6. Toad Suck, Arkansas
7. Hell, Michigan
8. Hookersville, West Virginia
9. Whiskey **** Mountain, Washington
10. Cockup, Cumbria, England
11. Bald Knob, Arkansas
12. Spread Eagle, Wisconsin
13. Wetwang, Yorkshire, England
14. Gravesend, Kent, England
15. Thong, Kent, England
16. Titty Hill, Sussex, England
17. Looneyville, Texas
18. Muff, Ireland
19. Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu, New Zealand
20. Twatt, Orkney, Shetland Islands, Scotland
21. Cockburn, Western Australia

I've been to Toad Suck Arkansas! I used to have to fly down to Little Rock when we were building a database with Acxiom. They are located outside of Little Rock in Conway, and Conway is right next to Toad Suck. I almost extended one trip for the annual Toad Suck Daze festival We have a shot glass that I picked up from there.
