The best part about Nan and Pop's Dildo Souvenir Shop is that they sell bumper stickers that say "There's a little Dildo in everybody".

I came here, as a Newfoundlander, to make sure you lived up to the legal duties of the "offensive" place names act, that says Dildo is most definitely a part of said list.
Local lore says that the town of Dildo is across from a place called Spread Eagle. So that's extra points if I ever saw it
Merry Christmas toycat
Really the only way to comment on a video like this
Best video in a while
You spelled 2cat wrong
Merry Christmas
There is a town nearby where I live called Gero, gero means vomit in Japanese, and it's even better because it's a famous onsen town, so the imagery is great. If you ever find yourself in Japan, be sure to take a nice bath in vomit 👍
are you ok

@@modahabbab just enjoy it, take the edge off, relax
Hot. I want that.
@@B0440g yea lmao
Is the G pronounced more like j or more like k? 😂
Let us think of town that got renamed to Fugging, Austria in 2021.
What Fucking town? lol
Renamed because locals got lost sick of the fucking road signs being stolen all the time
fugging durisds steeling our signs :DDDDDDDDDD
Cumming/s is actually an old family name that originated in the UK. I have an ancestor whose surname is Cummings. I also have another ancestor with the last name Horney, again of which came from the UK. Many towns and places are named for an inhabitant or a founder. There are also a lot of place names in the USA that are actually derived from the Native American languages. Places like Beaver City got their name from all the beavers (the animal) that used to be found in the area. The same way Deerlick would've gotten its name. Deer are attracted to salt deposits and would gather in areas to lick the salt. There are various places called Deerlick around the USA. The names of places sound silly, but they usually have some kind of background as to the reason for the name. Although the reasons for some of the place names may have been lost to time (in the USA and throughout the World), you can be sure that they once had good reason for them.
I have a coworker whose last name is Cummings. I also work not too far from Climax, Minnesota, which is a hell of a lot worse than Kiester
"Slocum" and "Oakley" are surnames. If you want strange town names, go to Texas. There, you will find Venus near Italy, Earth is near Lubbock, and you would have a field day with towns like (oh, the sacrilege) New York, Texas.
There's a New York in Ukraine.
@@Bacopa68, it was settled by Mennonites who named it for the American city.
The Christmas content we all wished for!
This is the modern day version of 6 year olds looking up words in a dictionary! 🤦♂🤣 Different Tech, Same mentality!
He doesnt understand the names are hundreds of years old and where not what the mean today! 🤦♂🤣
Your focus is on place names that sounds funny in English, which makes sense. Of course these places you looked at in non-English speaking countries aren't pronounced like that.
But funny place names in Swedish:
- Snålkuk (cheap/stingy dick)
- Frufällan (the wife trap)
- Stjärtnäs (butt isthmus)
- Aha (aha)
- Normlösa (norm-less, without norms)
- Hej (hi)
- Buslätt (easy peasy)
- Mensalvaret (the menstruation seriousness)
- Värsta (the worst)
Eller min personliga favorit: Porrarp (Like Pornville? haha)
If read with norwegian eyes, "Snålkuk" means "weird dick"
You could do a whole series of videos about funny "offensive" place names here in Australia - Lake Fanny, Butt of Liberty, Deep Bottom, Bumcooler, Backstairs Passage, The Nipples, Breasted Sugarloop, Mount Breast, The Boobs, Red Knob, Cleanskin Knob, Jerking Creek, Cock Wash, Humungous Hole, Pensioner's Bush, Kockup, Tonguer's Point, Rooty Hill, Satan's Lair, No No Hole, Fannie Bay, Mossy Nipple Bend, Most Remarkable Blowhole... just to name a few!
that's hilarious lol
This is what happens when you let convicts colonize a country
To Americans Fanny isn’t a bad word
Australia isn't America though
@@salamanderxrs7587 well duh...
10:03: that actually is a coincidence. That road exists because the town of Rough and Ready, entirely separately from the Civil War, seceded from the United States to protest something
I noticed right next to Big Bone there’s a place called Beaverlick.
Usually when a place has the word "Lick" in its name it is because there once was some kind of mineral deposit (such as salt) that would cause animals to gather there and lick it. Animals naturally do that to supplement their nutrition. What always gets me is how they know that they should do that.
Big Bone Lick and Beaver Lick should be connected by highway 69.
If you like “Cocking”, Virginia has a town called “Onancock”
I grew up in a town in Cumbria called Cockermouth (where William Wordsworth was born) and it's just up the road from Cummersdale
How about Cckington Green? I know there's a suburb in Canberra called that.
I discovered this on a hike one time. The scout leader got so mad when we didn’t focus on plotting the actual route out.
What did you discover? That places have funny names?
you forgot the best town in canada- moose factory, ontario (where they make all the meese)
Just a note for Alabama: I used to drive through Climax twice a day (northwestern Choctaw County -- it's not on maps, but it is the unofficial, old community name for a particular area along AL County Highway 9) while commuting to work or school from home, and could have traveled over to Intercourse, had I ever wanted to waste half an hour driving into the wilds of southeastern Sumter County and diddling the Jimsonweed along the western shore of the mighty Tombigbee River.
Rough and Ready, CA actually seceded from the rest of the US in the spring of 1850, to avoid mining taxes, but rejoined on Independence day a few months later, because reasons. Can't explain the "Slave Girl" street thing, though.
Warning to all, never take jimsonweed, bindweed, angel's trumpet or any other Datura plant to get high. You will have the most traumatic trip of your life and you will not remember it. Look up the history of "twilight sleep" birth for more details.
australia tops this stuff every time
Fucking, Australia
i was genuinely worried he was going to get into australia. theres some real headscratchers there
Intercourse Pennsylvania beats the Auzzies
Cut And Shoot Texas northeast of Houston has to be a winner.
@@TheAmericanCatholic fair
As someone who used to live in a town called cockermouth I approve of this video
Fun fact from a Newfie: There used to be 4 towns named Dildo in Newfoundland and 3 had to change their name so there was only one. There also used to be a Hibbs’ Hole (my last name but I’m not from there) that changed its name to Hibbs’ Cove but my brother has a pic of himself by the sign welcoming you to Hibbs’ Hole.
Even my city, which has ca. 70 000 inhabitants and is in Germany, has a town named after it in Indiana. That town is also right next to a town called Santa Claus.
There is another town with the same name in Ohio, which is located near pig point. And there is a third one in Minnesota.
My German town of 70k people literally has at least three places named after it. This is how unoriginal US place names are.
It’s bc one of our states is bigger than y’all’s countries. We on top
The state of California has a higher gdp than your country
@@cadenb2600 That is incorrect.
It's kind of neat that you can tell exactly where the town's founder was from so easily though.
Usually, the towns were founded by somebody from those places in Europe and were given those names probably because they either reminded the people of that place, they were homesick, they wanted to memorialize the place they came from, or the train company randomly pulled the name from a map of Europe (by the way, that was a real thing that some train companies did when building stations in the middle of nowhere and they wanted a town to develop around it).
"You better believe that this anus is in fact a playground!" -ibx2cat
don’t forget morehead in kentucky, the college shirts print it as “more-head” on separate lines lmao
You got me with the thumbnail. I live in Weiner, Arkansas on that map. 40 miles or so north of me is Goober town, Arkansas. That one always made my son giggle.
Dime Box in Texas always got a laugh out of me.
The boring truth is of course the these place names did not have that kind of connotations when they were given to the specific locality.
Chiddingfold and Petworth are lovely places thank you toycat.
There is also a Three Bridges near Crawley, which is where the Thameslink rolling stock is maintained at Three Bridges Traincare Facility.
Aye merry Christmas to you n all
It's funny how Missouri's map has the name "Cooter" on it. I've got a personal story behind that name.
I was running very low on gas & had to make an emergency stop in this very small town called "Cooter" that was right off the highway. I just crossed into Missouri from Arkansas.
I drove a good mile away from the highway just to find this tiny town with an old abandoned gas station from the 60's!!! So I had to drive 3 miles down a gravel road to this slightly larger town called "Steele". Almost ran outta gas!
I was driving from Memphis, TN to Indianapolis, IN from my grandmother's house, so I woulda been screwed BIG TIME if I were to run out.
Lesson of the day: Don't wait til' the last minute to fill your tank!
The lesson I took from it is that you need to do your pumping just outside of Cooter to avoid an unplanned situation.
I used to live in a town called Beaver creek in Colorado. There was a liquor store called Beaver Liquors and a scuba shop called Beaver Divers. Not to be outdone a nearby town had a tackle shop called Master Bait and Tackle.
As someone who actually lives in the south downs, it’s hard to imagine someone just laughin at the names. Because they don’t even seem strange to me anymore.
You really need to check out Pennsylvania, which has the towns of Intercourse and Blue Ball. It's extra funny when you realize that both of these towns are in the Amish country.
As someone who grew up in Indiana, I remember seeing Floyds Knobs on a state map and thinking it sounded funny as a kid. For those who don't know, "Knobs" is a name for a region of southern Indiana featuring several small hills. Indiana also has places called French Lick, Gnaw Bone, Santa Claus, and Popcorn.
I've since moved to Texas, which certainly must have its own fair share of odd names. One of them is a town called Cut and Shoot, which sounds like something a Texan might do to you if you anger him. Another one is Lavaca, which means "The Cow" in Spanish.
Not so surprising, im my country (Portugal) there are many such names. The more evident are for example a village with the name "Picha" that means "Dick" or a crossing that names "Venda da Gaita"- "Bagpipe sale". Another surprising situation is when a name in his original language has a neutral meaning but in others does not. For example in Germany exists a city with the name " Sömmerda". In german it means nothing special. But in a latin language it suggests "just shit".
There's a place here in Italy literally called "Sesso" (Sex in Italian). Best tourist attraction we have here ngl
I've spent a fair share of hours looking at places in google maps and I spent some of that time laughing
While Weiner is a beautiful name in Arkansas, USA, we also have Bald Knob and I feel like toycat would appreciate that one a little bit more.
Interesting. It means cryer/weeper in German.
In Poland we have like 3 or 4 towns called Moszna what means Scrotum...
Also there are three towns along one road called Nieliż, Cyców, Celiny - What can be understood as "Don't lick Celine's Tits"
I live close to Klit-moller, where you can sleep in Klithotel. And we have a city called Tarm - translated to Intestine, and that city is close to Lem - translated to limp
A lovely video to watch with my family this christmas morning
edit: ok perhaps there may have been a lapse in my judgement
Fake. Didn’t edit the comment.
Andrew lives in Fleshlight -- although he has a tough time entering.
I live near Des Moines, I got my Christmas tree in Cumming 👌
We used to have a town in the Philippines named Sexmoan. It was changed later on to Sasmuan.
There is a town in austria called "f*cking"... they always get their town signs stolen. Was surprised you didn't report about that.
I remember him making a video on that like a year ago and it got demonetized
in Europe, Germany has the lion's share of names that mean something weird or offensive in the local language - Darmstadt (intestine town), Katzenhirn (cat brain) and Wichsenstein (wanking stone), to name but a few
an honourable mention goes to Cesnek, near the Slovakia/Hungary border, which means "garlic" in Slovak and "fucking" in Hungarian (and no, there isn't a more polite translation)
The funniest thing about Intercourse Pennsylvania is there's inn named Bird-in-Hand. I genuinely refuse to believe they didn't know exactly what they were doing.
I live in North East England and there is a Village called Pity Me and If you go further south there is Wetwang
"Wankers Corner"... xD
Oregon wins.
TFW when you think you’re headed straight for Intercourse, but you miss all the signs and end up getting stranded in Blue Ball Village.
Paradise is close
Zzyzx, California is such a weird name
Most of it is just a problem of the „filthy mind“… when these places were named hundreds of years ago, these names were probably totally harmless and the „offensive“ connotions only come with today‘s usage of certain expressions.
ibx2cat uploading is a christmas miricle
when peoeple tell you to go to hell, they really just tell you to go to Norway. Yes there is a place called literally Hell, ironically in our language it means luck.
check out western australia, most hills/mountains a names after b**bs and there's a place called c*ckburn but pronounced coe-burn (but as Australian's we all know the truth)
The South Park in Colorado you referenced is where the creators of the show Southpark are from!
Slocum, Texas is near Palestine, Texas. If you go to Palestine and say "Pal-es-tine", you'll be lucky if you ONLY get dirty looks. The natives pronounce it "Pal-es-TEEN".
You can beat Cocking. Behold, Cockermouth.
You forgot the most famous kne in the UK - Snodland in Kent. Its famous due to being the home town of the Reggae Singer Judge Dread. Also Otumwa Iowa is not that weird. In fact it has a famous fictional inhabitant - Corporal Radar O'Reilly from M*A*S*H.
In the Netherlands, we have a tiny spot called Hulk, and (this is my favorite from the Netherlands) Sexbierum - pronounced sex, beer'em
In Brazil we have a city called something like "Girthy Tip", and another called "Cockpolis". We also have one called "Merry Christmas", though, so it balances everything out. A very -Girthy Tip- Merry Christmas to you all, people! (except for Bolsonaro or Trump voters, you guys can just get lost)
would like to mention my favouite places in England; Clenchwarton, Shitteron, Barton-in-the-Beans, and Steeple Bumpstead
I find some English names are just wrong.
Miller were Millers
Smith were Blacksmiths, ect
WTF were Dickinson's?
And there's Climax Michigan. I first saw it while driving on the Interstate and seeing exits for 7 mile road 3 mile road, etc... and when we got to where 0 Mile road was, it was Climax.
When I was a kid, I lived in Beaver City, Nebraska. I think it was named because it used to have beavers (the animal) in it. Even though it wasn't a city and didn't have any beavers in it when I was living there. Of course that was back in the 80's, but I've looked at it on Google Maps a few times and it doesn't seem to have gotten any bigger.
Having lived in Iowa a long time ago, Ottumwa was one of those places named after First Nations tribes or some place name in a First Nations language. You see those all over the US.
80 kilometres south of where I live, around the German border, lies the town of Sæd, which In danish means sperm.
You should have looked at Nova Scotia, Canada. You would have found Lower Sackville, Bedford, Beaverbank, Shag Harbour, Meat Cove and no word of a lie - Ecum Secum
Funny danish names - at least when pronounced in danish is the little town in Jutland called “Tarm” which translates to “gut” and about 10 miles away is the town of “Lem” which translates to limb or the more propriate expression for penis.
Down at the border to Germany is the little town “sæd” which translates to semen.
At least he said Des Moines correctly.
I live near the village of Wetwang, East Yorkshire. There's also a place called Rimswell not too far away.
I grew up near Kickapoo creek in Central Illinois. It was named after an Indian tribe but we had a field day with it in elementary school.
What are we gonna name the new place? ah yes butt hole is a good name.
Yes we have a place named rövhålet here in Sweden which littrly translates to butt hole.
You know instead of Humptulips, we got a city called Tumwater.
Nice video but how did you possibly not mention Fucking, Austria!!?
The Wikipedia article is so funny - like a quote from the mayor about how they’re “all sick of this Fucking joke”
And how people need to stop stealing the Fucking sign!
You can go to Muff in Ireland and go diving. Also, In Canada the town of Beaver lodge, Alberta.
In Suffolk there is (was) a statelyish house called Gobblecock Hall. And of course there are the memorable villages of Piddlehinton and Piddle Trenthide astride the River Piddle in Dorset.
In South East Pennsylvania there are a number of towns with funny names. I live in an area by Intercourse that’s in between the towns Blue Ball and Virginity!
Yes, there is Virgin in Utah, but that totally ignores the fact that in Utah there is also a place called "Gobbler's Knob" hahaha
Halfway between Dallas and Houston is very much the middle if nowhere
No way, I live in Cocking!!! I feel honoured that Toycat has google street viewed my village 😂
What Cheer and nearby Delta are the namesakes of Whatcheeria deltae, a tetrapod that lived long ago.
Is there a gun shop in Cocking?
About 45 kilometres north of where I live lies the town of Tarm which in Danish means intestine. 15 kilometres further north lies the town of Lem which in Danish means limb.
Lost Coon Lake in Whitefish, Montana is pretty rough, but the name it had before 1980 was even worse.
Climax, Saskatchewan/Michigan/North Carolina/Minnesota.
I knew when i clicked on this video Finland would come up : D Mulkkuvuoren Torille
Michigan has a town called Climax
12:35 Little Salmon River West... they must like their java edition over there
There's also a Sackville in Nova Scotia. I know because I live there.
There's also a Sackville in Australia in the North Western region of Sydney
There is a place in Thuringia called Günthersleben, which translated mean Günther's (Günther is a German name) life...
Also in Valais (a Swiss canton) near Brig, is a town called B i t s c h. and I drove through there twice.
you forgot the s
You missed next to big bone lick was Beaverlick and Richwood
He just zoomed into my house in the first minute of the video 💀
Juvenile I admit,I make no apology. I love Flushing Queens, Snodgrass and Effingham. 😂
This’ll be good
About these places, I always wonder who was the person in charge to name these towns like whaaaaaat 😂
In France, we have a town named Moncuq, which literally sounds like "MyArse"
Wait! There’s also Cumming, Georgia. As an Englishman living here I had a lot of joy from Cumming😉
Waterloo is a town in Belgium which famous for the battle of Waterloo.
There is a part of London, uk named Waterloo.
There is of course Waterloo in the usa as well.
And a Waterloo Canada
There's a Waterloo in Australia as well
Toycat, I am watching this in a car with my family. If I laugh too much they will be very suspicious.
There is a town or village in England called sandyballs
I met two girls who were from Wales. I didn’t believe them when they told me the town they were from until I looked it up. Their home town was Cockermouth. And they enjoyed, pun fully intended, telling men where they were from.
Road signs can be equally entertaining. In Michigan on I believe it was I-94, was a giant exit sign for Big Beaver Road. Not that exciting, until you realize that it is exit 69.
I could watch this for hours
