Washington has Tillicum and Georgia has Cumming. This map was not well thought out
I love Cumming, ^GA
North Dakota had better have absolutely nothing else even slightly risque, in order to have any hope of justifying its theft of GA’s rightful entry.
“Tulsa” is just “a slut” spelled backwards.
Yeah but Oklahoma has a small town called Peggs
We have plenty of funny town names here, but my favorites are Hooker, Slapout, Stringtown, and Hoot Owl.
“Peggs” is just “Sggep” spelled backwards.
Only Ohio would have pee pee township lmao
Pee pee is my favorite township
I refuse to believe there is a town in America called Rough&Ready
I was literally there today 🤣
We also have a city in this state by the name of “City of Industry.” Not simply “Industry” but “City of Industry.” And “Carmel by the Sea” as opposed to just “Carmel” or “Carmel by the Dumpster Fire off 99.”
Thats crazy. I mean my country has some goofy names for small towns and villages but this takes it to another level entirely
What about Cumming, GA
I’m guessing it’s because the map already has Cummings.
But Butts isn’t even a town; it’s a county.
This map is wack. It should be Cumming!
men can never seem to find it
the states containing Dry Wood and Lubers are bordering each other, yet the wood remains dry
Curious
Bigbone, KY is home to a nice state park called Big Bone Lick.
They have Bison. Went there a few weeks ago. Pretty cool park!
And if we’re going with parks there’s world famous Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney, PA! (as in Punxsutawney Phil and Groundhog Day)
That’s the best lick I’ve heard of.
“Cozy corner” isn’t actually that bad of a town name
At night, it becomes wanker’s corner
Napo’opo’o isn’t ‘Na poo poo’
That makes perfect sense
Americans understand glottal stops challenge (improbable 💪)
We use them all the time but we’re generally unaware of it. Like in “uh-oh”.
That’s leaving aside that Hawaiians ARE Americans, thanks to the Dole fruit company.
Right.
Leaving out the ʻokina and kahakō changes the sound significantly. The ʻokina represents a glottal stop, the sound in the middle of “uh-oh”. In Hawaiian, it’s a letter of the alphabet. The kahakō (macron, the horizontal line over a vowel) means the vowel is long - as in pronounced for a beat longer. What we call long and short vowels in English should be considered different vowels because they are different sounds.
Hōnaunau-Nāpōʻopʻo
Is
Hohh nah oo nah oo Nahh pohh ohp oh
It’s hard to transcribe, I hope that’s of interest to someone. He haumana a ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi au. I’m still early in my learning.
“HOE-NOW-NOW NAH-POO-POO”
There is a Gross Tête, Louisiana too
Goochland, Virginia is underrepresented here.
They choose Kiester over Gaylord, Moorhead (morehead), or Climax‽
Tbf Climax was already on the map. Moorhead is pretty good though
no horneytown NC?
there are more lewd souding towns in Virginia than short pump
Tbf it’s technically just part of a town and not an actual town but there is Mianus CT
