I'm curious, what are some weird place names you know of? There is a church I once saw, it was called "Bola de Neve Church"... So, quick vocabulary: Bola de Neve = Snowball Igreja = Church So... This church is called "Bola de Neve Church". Not "Igreja Bola de Neve" nor "Snowball Church", but "Bola de Neve Church." I looked at that and just thought... "Why?" Never mind the fact that I have no idea what is the correlation between a church and a snowball. The name seems absolutely random. Anyways, that's it from me. What weird place names you know of?
those are real names, though. you could google Big Bottom, Washington to find that town. Or Beer Bottle Crossing, Idaho. Bald Head, Maine. Scratch Ankle, Alabama... and so on.
I didn't get that they were town names from the map... I'm impressed~ Oh... Reading the post explains the post. Who'd have guessed?
There's a city in Turkey called Batman, a place in Oregon called Boring along with its twin Bland from Scotland, but my favourite has to be Hell for Certain from Kentucky — I can't even image how people living there feel like lmao, another place name somewhat similar to it is Hell's Valley which in located in Black Forest, Germany, but I find this name more cool than funny tbh.
XD Actually Brazil also has some pretty funny names for cities: Português = English Pau Grande = Big Wood/stick Curralinho = Small Corral(foneticaly sounds like the Portuguese words for shallow ass) Pinga = a very alcoholic Brazilian beverage Entrepelado = enter naked Passa e fica = pass and stay Pintópolis = (aglutination of dick and metropolis) Carrasco Bonito = beautiful executioner Ressaquinha = small hangover Não me toque = don't touch me Virginopolis = (aglutination of virgin and metropolis) Corta mão = cut hand Mata pais = kill parents Jardim das piranhas = piranha's garden (piranha is a fish but most often the word is used as a slang which means slut)
We sure do! XD Talking about weird names! It's not a place but I remembered the name of a judge i got to know years ago~ His family's surname was Torres de Carvalho (oak towers) But due to a typing error at his birth register his surname was registered as "Torres de Caralho" (fuck/cock towers) XD
