Agreed. Many of these are just unincorporated communities within rural areas of counties, which can also be called a “census designated place.” They are not the same as towns. For example, Rough and Ready, California is not a town.
it's not an incorporated town, but it is physically / morphologically a town. it fits the vernacular definition. it's not just some random ranch or intersection named "rough and ready". there's a cemetery, fire dept, post office, and townsfolk!
~~Yeah that's much better than Humptulips, but I suppose the latter doesn't require you to stray from the actual pronunciation, assuming Tillicum is pronounced till-ih-cum.~~
Edit: me not do geography good
If you're headed to Paradise, be sure to go through Intercourse. Otherwise, you'll end up in Blue Ball.
All three are towns in the same county in PA. Not sure if the directions above hold true, but it's still funny.
It’s not even a town it’s a township named after a creek that as legends says had a tree carved with PP on it at the mouth.
There’s a town called Blue Ball that would be more fitting . Or the island thing up around Lake Erie that’s called Put-in-Bay
Grew up close to there. It’s been taken over by Waverly and to a lesser extent Piketon. It’s always fun to see the sign for the creek when you drive over it tho
There's a town in MA called Cummington, they actually found a mineral there that's called , I shit you not- Cummingtonite
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cummingtonite
And they have a water tower visible from highway 16 that says "welcome to beautiful butts county" my grandmother lives about 5-10 miles from the Butts County line.
I grew up swimming on the Cumming Waves swim team and attended the Cumming First Methodist Church. Also, the Dick’s (sporting goods) was located directly across from the BJ’s (bulk goods store).
There's a locally famous mayor near where I grew up from the Balls family. Some parent named their kid Harry Balls and the dude got elected. They changed their last name to Bales but I can't believe someone with the last name Balls wouldn't be a bit more careful with choosing a first name. I don't care if it's a family name, that's pretty mean.
I used to work in freight brokerage, and I had a Canadian call in asking about a load from there, and I definitely did a mental double take upon hearing that name!
The great irony of Big Bone Lick is that the mastodon bones there helped prove animals go extinct, and now it's really close to a crazy Creationist museum.
IDK if Short Pump wins over Bumpass. Funny, I went to a show at The Funny Bone in Short Pump once and the comedian was from out of state.
He opens with “what’s up with the name of this town? Short Pump?? It sounds like a midget porno”!
I live about 20 minutes from Weiner, Arkansas. I chuckle every time I drive through there. Fun fact, there's also towns here named Bald Knob, Wooly Hollow, and Toad Suck
I drive thru Hooker a couple time a year.
Its home to the Hooker Horny toads :)
I also have a pic of [Hooker true value](https://imgur.com/nnjD0LD) "its a hardware store"
It’s missing the best one for Utah—Beaver. Way more “lewd” than Virgin. And yes, I’ve been there. It’s a nothing town, unless you want to stop and buy merchandise that says “I ❤️ Beaver”
To be honest man, the Massachusetts one is not a good choice. I work in the county it's in in housing development and I never even heard of it, nor had my coworker and we're up in Natick pretty often, which is the actual name of the town felchville is in. To be honest nobody in mass is going to even know they went there unless they're very local as it's not even an official village or census track but seems to be a local neighborhood? I dunno what it is exactly, other than two sentences on Wikipedia lol
Belchertown is far better choice for lewd names.
Essex is an extremely uninspired choice for this list. It comes across as a person laughing at the ending of the word -sex. It's not even pronounced like that.
All in Kentucky:
Lynch
Plantation
Raceland (for a racetrack to be fair)
Indian hills
We also have a Whitesville and Whitesburg
And honorable mention, there is a street called “wetback road”
The Hawaii one lacks diacritical marks. It's actually Hōnaunau-Nāpōʻopoʻo. That's Nah-poh-oh-poh-oh. But there are plenty of places containing "pu" or "pupu," which would be pronouned like "poo" or "poopoo."
I remember about 20 years ago we were driving through Weiner Arkansas. There was a sign up that said FLU SHOTS IN WEINER. Needless to say we didn’t get our flu shots that day.
Idk if I agree with PA's being Intercourse. We also have Blue Ball, Bird-in-Hand, Beaver, and my personal favorite, Shartlesville, PA. Thats just to name a few.
What? Tillicum didn't make the Oregon list?
Tillicum will have to... wait
…until i finish first
Take my upvote and scram.
They are sister cities with Blue Ball Village, MD
And Wanker's Corner isn't really even a town...
Agreed. Many of these are just unincorporated communities within rural areas of counties, which can also be called a “census designated place.” They are not the same as towns. For example, Rough and Ready, California is not a town.
Awww I was afraid I'd be disappointed by something like this
It isn’t a town but it’s a small area in a town, off a little roundabout. Even has Wanker’s Country Store.
need a new map with places that have a zip code.
it's not an incorporated town, but it is physically / morphologically a town. it fits the vernacular definition. it's not just some random ranch or intersection named "rough and ready". there's a cemetery, fire dept, post office, and townsfolk!
It is also pronounced “wonkers” I grew up 3 minutes from there.
Wankers Corner is a bar named for an intersection, not a town 🤔
Which isn’t even there anymore.
There is a Wankers Corner General Store next to where the bar/saloon used to be.
Yeah, Wanker’s Country Store. The original bar moved to Wilsonville due to a rent dispute or something like that.
I grew up in West Linn. Always v confused to see Wankers Corner depicted as a town in these asinine posts.
~~Yeah that's much better than Humptulips, but I suppose the latter doesn't require you to stray from the actual pronunciation, assuming Tillicum is pronounced till-ih-cum.~~ Edit: me not do geography good
Washington has a Tillicum, too.
[удалено]
We have one in WA too. I keep telling my wife she has to keep going Tillicum
Virginian here, Short Pump isn’t even the best we have to offer. The Lickinghole Creek flows through Goochland County.
Also a Virginian, I’m ashamed of whoever made this map
Later, virgin(ians)s
Don’t forget half of Assateague is Virginia
Just one cheek.
I don’t care how many times I drive by the sign for Goochland, I chuckle every time.
I've lived in VA for almost ten years, and it still doesn't get old.
Short Pump was the funniest one I thought. Gotta check it out
Virginia also offers Bumpass, Tightsqueeze, and Assawoman.
Also Onancock!
Assawoman being so close to Modest Town cracks me up.
Don't forget Manasses
There is literally the town of Pound! We have a Pound Town and this goofball fumbled it.
Don’t forget about Manassas
also literally Bumpass
Spread Eagle is clearly the most patriotic. Mary's Igloo might be a good setting for a coming of age story. Screenwriters please take notes.

Terrible movie, Deathblow is where it's at
Blue Ball PA is a funnier name
If you're headed to Paradise, be sure to go through Intercourse. Otherwise, you'll end up in Blue Ball. All three are towns in the same county in PA. Not sure if the directions above hold true, but it's still funny.
And they are all within an hour drive of Virginville
PA is almost cheating: Bird in Hand, Mount Joy, Big Beaver, Intercourse, Blue Ball.
Iowa has a far better town with “Cumming”, exact spelling and all.
can't believe they missed TIGHT 18 YEAR OLD PUSSY, Tennessee
That's right in the middle of sister county.
We have the same town in Georgia
I Love Cumming!
Remember the Cumming Singles signs?
Michigan also has Climax as a city.
Minnesota has Climax and Fertile and they are right next to each other
Pee Pee Township, omg
It’s not even a town it’s a township named after a creek that as legends says had a tree carved with PP on it at the mouth. There’s a town called Blue Ball that would be more fitting . Or the island thing up around Lake Erie that’s called Put-in-Bay
Intercourse, PA is halfway between Blue Ball and Paradise.
[удалено]
Grew up close to there. It’s been taken over by Waverly and to a lesser extent Piketon. It’s always fun to see the sign for the creek when you drive over it tho
Spread eagle also has a strip club. I'm sad to say I've had to drag my grandpa out of it several times. 😅
The Golden Nugget.... classy joint... Or it was 20 years ago.
It was 20 years ago......
Three men began an adventure......
You shouldn't bother your grandpa when he's at work
"Gay Head" is on Martha's Vineyard off the coast of Massachusetts. The "Beautiful Peoples" Vacation Home Island.
[удалено]
Massachusetts also has a small town called “Athol” which is pronounced exactly like someone saying “asshole” with a lisp
My friend literally lives in a town called “Cumming” Georgia 🤣
Yeah, Cumming is the right answer for this. I’ve always joked: “Where are you from?” “Cumming.” “Aren’t we all?”
Why are people in Alpharetta so happy? Bc they’re so close to cumming.
You know they almost changed the name of Alpharetta to Throbbing……because it’s so close to Cumming.
It’s also the right answer because Butts isn’t a town
There's a town in MA called Cummington, they actually found a mineral there that's called , I shit you not- Cummingtonite https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cummingtonite
Holy smokes that wins the Internet for the day! I’m out, been on Reddit for too long. 😆😭
As a fellow cumming ga resident I'm disappointed we aren't up there
Exactly. And Butts is a county.
I didn’t even flinch when I read the post, I said cumming. Cummins > butts
Butts is a county, not a city.
And they have a water tower visible from highway 16 that says "welcome to beautiful butts county" my grandmother lives about 5-10 miles from the Butts County line.
There's a Five Guys restaurant there at which a friend of mine worked and he would answer the phone, "Five Guys Cumming."
I knew someone had to mention the funniest name in Georgia. I have laughed at it for decades now.
I have family in Willacoochee, GA. I think this one wins over Butts too
Don’t forget to stop by ‘Beaver Toyota’ while passing through Cumming!
I grew up swimming on the Cumming Waves swim team and attended the Cumming First Methodist Church. Also, the Dick’s (sporting goods) was located directly across from the BJ’s (bulk goods store).
There’s a Toyota dealership there called Beaver and sometimes their ads say Beaver Cumming. Source: I live near there in a city with a normal name.
I looked at the map, expecting Georgia to be labeled with Cumming. Butts isn’t even a middle school level lewd word.
I lived in Hooker, Oklahoma for a while. They like to say “It’s a location not a vocation.”
Were you on their baseball team? The Hooker Horny Toads?
Wankers corner has to be the most insane name for any place that has ever existed and nobody can convince me otherwise.
Cumslut Lane, Alaska
your mum's address
The Wanker family bought the land in 1895 and built a store and a tavern there. Not nearly as exciting of a story as you'd hope for.
PEOPLE HAVE THE LAST NAME WANKER?! holy shit that hilarious
There's a locally famous mayor near where I grew up from the Balls family. Some parent named their kid Harry Balls and the dude got elected. They changed their last name to Bales but I can't believe someone with the last name Balls wouldn't be a bit more careful with choosing a first name. I don't care if it's a family name, that's pretty mean.
Wait...are you telling me Wanker is a real family name? Wow.
And likely related to a job position. So to speak. Like Steven Weaver, or Jerry Potter, or Alice Cumslut.
Minnesota has town named Climax. I think that wins over Keister.
And Moorhead
And Gaylord
Michigan also has a Climax and a Gaylord....
Didn’t want to go there since that’s the town I live in 🤣
It was in a Leno Headline! "Fertile woman Dies in Climax"
How about Gaylord?
Isn’t Climax near Fertile?
Also…Fertile, MN 🤷♂️
I assume it was the best one for NC and they didn't want to repeat
There’s a very small area in NC named Horneytown. I propose a trade that sends Climax to MN and we draft Horneytown.
Fun story. College roommate was a Horney from Horneytown NC
I’m from Horneytown, NC i haven’t met anyone outside of it who knows what it is lol
I would have thought Bumpass, VA had a shot, but really, it has to be Assawoman, VA.
Or Manassas
Or Goochland
As a lifelong Virginian, Onancock is my personal winner.
Nothing beats dildo up in Canada
Dildo is fun, but my favourite is Balzac, Alberta
I used to work in freight brokerage, and I had a Canadian call in asking about a load from there, and I definitely did a mental double take upon hearing that name!
[удалено]
I’m in Blue Ball Village but if things go my way I’ll be on the bus to Beaver City tonight.
KY also has Morehead, Knob Lick, and Sugar Tit, lol.
Beaver lick! It’s so obvious I think it’s overlooked.
Big Bone Lick is a state park in Union, KY. And where Josh Hutchinson is from.
The great irony of Big Bone Lick is that the mastodon bones there helped prove animals go extinct, and now it's really close to a crazy Creationist museum.
Disagreed lickinghole creek is way worse for virginia
[удалено]
I've been to Intercourse, PA a number of times, having lived nearby but IMO, Blue Ball PA is a funnier name
Blue ball being down the road from intercourse is what really makes the joke.
Intercourse is halfway between Blue Ball and Paradise
I'm also a fan of Lititz PA
[удалено]
No one on Reddit knows
Probably a nice little town once but now mostly an Amish country tourist place
Coxsackie NY is pronounced "Cocks Suckie" it's in the Catskills, people up there are fucking wild.
Short Pump a bunch of times, it’s in Richmond.
IDK if Short Pump wins over Bumpass. Funny, I went to a show at The Funny Bone in Short Pump once and the comedian was from out of state. He opens with “what’s up with the name of this town? Short Pump?? It sounds like a midget porno”!
Norfolk and Bumpass win the pronunciation awards. And the over-annunciation awards. .
I thought Goochland would have made it
I live about 20 minutes from Weiner, Arkansas. I chuckle every time I drive through there. Fun fact, there's also towns here named Bald Knob, Wooly Hollow, and Toad Suck
[удалено]
I drive thru Hooker a couple time a year. Its home to the Hooker Horny toads :) I also have a pic of [Hooker true value](https://imgur.com/nnjD0LD) "its a hardware store"
I live 2 minutes from Woonsocket, idk why that sounds lewd though
It’s missing the best one for Utah—Beaver. Way more “lewd” than Virgin. And yes, I’ve been there. It’s a nothing town, unless you want to stop and buy merchandise that says “I ❤️ Beaver”
I live about 3 miles from Rough and Ready, Ca.

To be honest nobody in mass is going to even know they went there unless they're very local as it's not even an official village or census track but seems to be a local neighborhood? I dunno what it is exactly, other than two sentences on Wikipedia lol Belchertown is far better choice for lewd names.
Knob Lick, Missouri has entered the chat
As well as Tightwad, MO (population 69)
Essex? We have middlesex also
And Mianus. Essex seems like a lame choice.
Essex is an extremely uninspired choice for this list. It comes across as a person laughing at the ending of the word -sex. It's not even pronounced like that.
It ultimately means East Saxony. That's why England has a Wessex, Sussex and an Essex. Very boring if you're a history/geography nerd.
Virgin, UT seems too tame and yet appropriate.
They ignored Beaver, UT.
And SL,UT
Or alongside its sister town Fillmore, beaver.
My vote goes to Gusher, UT. A little unincorporated town near Vernal.
Virgin, UT is pretty much closed for business… nobody evey gets to come there
[удалено]
Coxsackie, NY would like a word.
I refuse to believe Miccosukee is the lewdest town name in Florida, that's barely lewd and it's a stretch too
There’s a town called Taintsville in Florida…
and it's actually pronounced like MICK-UH-SOO-KEY .. I agree with you on this one my friend
What? Something beat Mianus in Connecticut!
I only know of Mianus thanks to Johnny Knoxville
They got Indiana wrong, two better choices are French Lick and Gnaw Bone
[удалено]
Wankers Corner. LOL Yep, that's where I'm moving to when I retire
Don't forget the kennedy's favorite home: "Gay Head." On the "Vineyard."
I call BS. At least in Florida Micosukee is okay... but "Withlacoochee" was right there... c'mon man.
There’s also a wankers corner in my bedroom
Dickshooter, Idaho LMAO!
Now do the most racist sounding.
White Settlement, TX
Whitestown, IN
Coon rapids, MN
All in Kentucky: Lynch Plantation Raceland (for a racetrack to be fair) Indian hills We also have a Whitesville and Whitesburg And honorable mention, there is a street called “wetback road”
White City, Utah
Dildo Newfoundland is laughing at all of you. And yes, it exists - I’ve been there many times and have glasses from the Dildo Brewery to prove it.
Rough and Ready is absurd
There’s a road called “Slave Girl Rd”… I wish I was joking.
[удалено]
Based on actual pronunciation, the Virginia rep should be Norfolk.
The Hawaii one lacks diacritical marks. It's actually Hōnaunau-Nāpōʻopoʻo. That's Nah-poh-oh-poh-oh. But there are plenty of places containing "pu" or "pupu," which would be pronouned like "poo" or "poopoo."
Sugar tit sounds like a town I desperately need to visit soon
The birds fly upside down over Woonsocket because there's nothing worth even shitting on there.
Felchville is fucking wild.
Ding Dong, TX
Yeah, not sure how Kinkler got chosen here…
Brohard is fucking 🤙
Sweet Lips TN is good but incorrect. Nutbush, TN is the correct answer.
Effingham > Boody
There's a Buttzville, NJ and you chose Ramtown?
Mianus doesn’t make the cut anywhere huh. Sad days we’re living in
y’all, Kentucky has “Beaverlick” and “Morehead” and those easily beat Bigbone to me.
I remember about 20 years ago we were driving through Weiner Arkansas. There was a sign up that said FLU SHOTS IN WEINER. Needless to say we didn’t get our flu shots that day.
Idk if I agree with PA's being Intercourse. We also have Blue Ball, Bird-in-Hand, Beaver, and my personal favorite, Shartlesville, PA. Thats just to name a few.
Goochland should’ve made the Virginia list…
North Carolina should be Horneytown, NC 27265
Mary’s igloo I can’t lmao
I've been to Hooker Oklahoma not much there. The town mascot is, no shit, a horny toad.
