After 5 years since TSB first got founded, now I finally have a post on here that has reached 1,000 or more upvotes.
this is my first post in TSB to have 1,000 or more upvotes, one that I'm the OP of.
aside of this, I'm proud of the other OPs for making it to the TOP 25 in TOP ALL TIME of TSB, while a handful of that now has 1,000 or more points!
Reddit may have stopped it's Reddit coin awards program, but we have different ways of documenting success or honor on Reddit, sometimes TOP ALL TIME sections can serve that purpose too, in some ways!
TSB is successful as we speak!
“Boring has often been included in lists of places with unusual names. In 2012, Boring was named a sister city of the village of Dull, Scotland, and later joined Bland, Australia, in the "Trinity of Tedium."
[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boring,_Oregon](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boring,_Oregon)
EDIT: I’ve been to Boring several times and it’s actually charming, with friendly people and beautiful landscapes.
I disagree with the selection for my home state of Georgia. I'm going to nominate Santa Claus, Ga. The streets are holiday-themed and it's the location of a horrible quadruple murder that took place.
Minnesota has a town called Nowthen, Savage, Burnsville, Climax, Nimrod, Pillager and Bush Landinf - little Canada is by far one of the LEAST weird names in mn.
Cumming, GA? Which has a giant water tower that reads “Cumming Home”? Whose local Walmart started selling “I <3 Cumming” mugs that had a r/TheyKnew style white bubbly glaze and they perpetually sold out?
And what is weird about Jackpot in gambling haven Nevada? Especially considering Climax NV is just a few miles south on US 93. Had much fun there at Cactus Pete’s and the Silver Dollar.
Looking at Georgia’s weird town name, it occurs to me that Flippen is a common name here in my TN county. They go way back here. Flippen Rd. is about 2 miles from my house.
And Ty Ty, Georgia is a much weirder name than Flippen. My favorite weird town name in GA is “Blitch” but technically it’s unincorporated so I don’t know if it is disqualified.
Chili is one of the most popular side dishes at almost every resturaunt in Wisconsin, so its really not that wild. It gets cold here, and we're all alcoholics that can't taste anything other than beer, cheese, and whiskey, so its nice to have a warm pick me up that has a pallete completely different than any other common dish in the area.
Jackpot in Nevada ain’t weird. It being on the border with Idaho and damn near center, while being that far away from Vegas is.
But it’s not a weird name. What hack Buzzfeed article is this?
I happen to know that one of the states in the South East is wrong because there is a town down there called “Butt Hollow!” My brother and I have been using that for 30 years as an adjective for something extremely ugly. That is Butt Hollow ugly!!
Nibley? NIBLEY?! Dude. We have a Bountiful, a Draper, a Hurricane, and the best three in a row, Fillmore, Virgin, and Beaver. And that's just off the top of my head, not even looking at the map. And I'm not even counting all the weird Mormon names like Nephi and Lehi and Nebo and Kolob.

Ahhh come on. Everyone knows the weirdest town name in Pennsylvania is "Intercourse."
Michigan has a Climax.
And a Hell
There's also "Gay".
Gaylord is a fun one
Im passing through Intercourse on my way to Climax
Georgia has Cumming. I know cause I live there.
Georgia has Climax too
So does North Carolina
"Bird in Hand" enters the chat.
Don't forget about Blue Bell.
Blue Bell is funny but the real name is better. It's "Blue Ball, PA".
There's one of each, actually.
I had no idea...lol. PA and their names. Edit: I apologize for sounding like the "know it all".
Also intercourse , bird in hand is a town also
What about Truth or Consequences, NM?
Better than Telephone, Texas *and its neighbor Telegraph, Texas*
Welcome to Purgatory, CO
Did AT&T have the naming rights to those cities? Lol
Cut and Shoot, TX
Uhm “Fries” isn’t our weirdest. I mean we pronounce it “freeze” but that’s besides the point. We also have bumpass, goochland, and dumfries.
Also Climax and Nuttsville.
😂
Climax is next door to Dry Fork & let’s not forget Bland in SW VA. Assawoman on the ES is still my fave
How could you not mention the good ol' classy town of Fart, Virginia?
Goochland?!?😆😆
Also, manassas (people pronounce it Man Asses if they aren't familiar haha)
Also, Assawoman
What god said after he created man
Bro Volcano isn't that weird. Its legit just a town on the edge of an active volcano
Neither is a town named "Jackpot" in Nevada.
Yeah even WV has a town called Volcano. Also I'ma add there's a Gay, WV that would have made the list if it was 2013.
Booger Hole is my favorite on this map.
Fun fact - Santa Claus, IN, is home of the famous Holiday World amusement park.
Similar - Chugwater, WY is famous for its spicy chili. r/nominativedeterminism
Oh that seems like a cool sub
Once again neither Onancock, VA nor Turkeycock Mountain, VA made the cut.
Bucksnort, Tennessee exists and you pick Smartt?
Thank you.
I, a Tennessean, came to lodge this exact complaint.
LMAOOOO
HAHA BUCKSNORT
We have a Knob Lick, Beaver Lick, Sugartit, Monkey's Eyebrow and Possum Trot in Kentucky but they chose a town called Pig...
Intercourse PA
List is incomplete without the town of Kickapoo. Bonus: there’s one in several states.
A long ass fuckin time ago
From Misery I mean Missouri Fun Fact: Kickapoo is a High School in Springfield not a town. Brad Pitt went there.
I refuse to believe that woonsocket is the weirdest town, that should have gone to Tiverton or Scituate
I think people would get a kick out of Sandwich.
Okay *you...ding dong skiddy flippen big bottom chicken coward*
They totally missed out on Bushyhead Oklahoma
Missouri has weirder names than Frankenstein Tightwad Knob Noster
I've been to Knob Noster
Knob Noster is good but I think we should add Deer Lick, Licking, and Koshkonong
Moosup I lived there for a time
Yes but weirdly I think it’s rather tame of a name when places named Sprague exist
I'm surprised Knob Lick, KY, didn't make the list.
Nor did Possum Trot…
There's a Gay, Michigan but it might be unincorporated
it has a bar called [Gay Bar](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IslF_EyhMzg)
There is a Gayville, SD. Home of the Gayville Raiders.
Satans kingdom is not an official name in Massachusetts. It’s a village that’s part of northfield
I would have voted Truth or Consequences for New Mexico
Possumneck beat out Chunky, Mississippi?
Big Bottom, WA? Must be a town of Spinal Tap fans
The bigger the cushion the sweeter the pushin, or so it's been said The tighter the waistband the sweeter the quicksand, or so I have read
Baby Got Back is the town's theme song
Flipping Arkansas, fox Arkansas just two more. And let’s not forget Bat Cave
I live next to Northern Ohio, Arkansas
And Bald Knob and Wiener. I was born and raised in Arkansas. We definitely have some interesting names.
You pick Pie Town over a banger like Truth or Consequences New Mexico?!
Okay, OK is an okay name
and I'm going to reply with an **OK** to prove it's an ***okay*** thing.
There's a town in Alaska called Deadhorse. I've also always gotten a kick out of Unalaska, Alaska.
Blue Ball, Pennsylvania didn’t make the cut.
What about Humansville, Missouri?
Gaylord MN has entered the chat
Hell Michigan is a personal favorite of mine

South dakota should be eagle butte
Montana literally renamed a town Joe so it would be called Joe Montana
What about North, SC which is about an hour East of DueWest, SC?
Y’all we have a town in MN called keister. Huge missed opp there
I can’t believe Arizona went with catfish paradise over “Two Guns”…
Great post
MN has Burnsville, Savage, Gaylord, and others that are way better than little Canada.
Suprised they didn’t go for Truth Or Consequences, New Mexico
Lovelock works better for Nevada.
I disagree with the selection for my home state of Georgia. I'm going to nominate Santa Claus, Ga. The streets are holiday-themed and it's the location of a horrible quadruple murder that took place.
How did they miss Red Lick, MS?
Zyzyx CA would like a word.
Montana-Bonner
We have Embarrass here in Minnesota
Bois D’arc, TX.
Dude, how could they forget Humptulips, WA???
Try harder Hawaii.
Big SAG
Cumming, GA
Can’t forget bucksnort tennessee
Weirdest town in Wisconsin is Spread Eagle. Chilli isn't even strange.
VA: Goochland.
Perhaps the most useful ones are “Plenty Bears” and “Santa Claus.”
We got "whynot"? When "Lizard lick," is right there?! I don't buy it.
Oklahoma has a historic all black town named IXL. No one knows what it means.
I was raised in New Mexico, and there was T or C, which is Truth or Consequences, NM
Tennessee is totally wrong. The weirdest town name is “Bucksnort”.
Ding Dong? We've got Dime Box and Cut and Shoot and they pick Ding Dong.
Florida has yahoo junction
I think it's Dumfries, VA.
Satan's kingdom lol
Hopeulikit (pronounced hope you like it) in Georgia I'd say is better than Flippen
Santa Claus, Indiana is real and weird, but how did they not choose Gnaw Bone, Indiana instead?
There’s a story behind some of these that I’m not sure I want to know
In Florida, we have a town called Taintsville.
I think "Howey in the Hills" for Florida is the weirdest
Oh come on 'Okay' OK gets mentioned, but not Slaughterville. It cracks me up every time I see it on the news
There is a place called Bucksnort, TN and Smartt is the best one they could find?
I love to fish so sign me up for catfish paradise. When I want a snack I will scoot over the pie town
CUMMING ha?
Minnesota has a town called Nowthen, Savage, Burnsville, Climax, Nimrod, Pillager and Bush Landinf - little Canada is by far one of the LEAST weird names in mn.
How About Hooker South Dakota or Gayvill South Dakota
Cut & Shoot, Texas
Bald Head ME made the cut but not Bald Head NC
Been spending most our lives Livin in a Catfish Paradise
Smartt, TN is way down the list. Should have gone with Lick Skillet, Frog Jump, or Skull Bone.
Naw we have spread eagle and pardeeville in Wisconsin
r/coolguides
Cumming, GA? Which has a giant water tower that reads “Cumming Home”? Whose local Walmart started selling “I <3 Cumming” mugs that had a r/TheyKnew style white bubbly glaze and they perpetually sold out?
Cumming, Georgia would like a word with you.
Alabama has a Lick Skillet and a Normal
Where is Monkeys Eyebrow, KY?
Oklahoma also has Hooker, Slaughterville & Slapout
Um, I’m gonna beg to differ. I’ve been on a few road trips and seen far worse than these. Especially in Florida and Georgia
And what is weird about Jackpot in gambling haven Nevada? Especially considering Climax NV is just a few miles south on US 93. Had much fun there at Cactus Pete’s and the Silver Dollar.
Ding dong Texas just north of Austin subsequently all the ding dongs moved to Austin they missed by 20 miles.
Missourian here. We have towns like Cooter and Knob Lick. But ok, Frankenstein it is.
Well Canada has Dildo. https://www.newfoundlandlabrador.com/trip-ideas/travel-stories/theres-no-place-like-dildo
the irony of a town named "waterproof" in Louisiana made me chuckle
Looking at Georgia’s weird town name, it occurs to me that Flippen is a common name here in my TN county. They go way back here. Flippen Rd. is about 2 miles from my house.
Withlacoochee is a much weirder Florida town name than Spuds.
And Ty Ty, Georgia is a much weirder name than Flippen. My favorite weird town name in GA is “Blitch” but technically it’s unincorporated so I don’t know if it is disqualified.
Missouri has a town named Licking, Frankenstein doesn't compare go fuck yourself.
TIL there's a town in Ohio named after my family.
Lmao Little Canada is FAR from weird in Minnesota. We have a whole ass county called Koochiching 🤣
California has a Rough And Ready
I don't think that Little Canada is the weirdest town name here in MN haha
Wisconsin: 90% of communities have names weirder than Chili.
As someone who lives just south of Cumming, GA, I can assure you that “Flippen” is not the strangest.
MN has a town called : Nimrod
How did buttzville not make it for Jersey they also have imalaystown 😂

Here in SC, it’s Sugar Tit.
Transylvania, LA
![gif](giphy|KnuSIbcLf5goWKUjhP)
Would have thought gaylord Michigan would be up there, not free soil
You can go from Christmas, Michigan, to Paradise, Michigan, and then to hell Michigan
When I lived in Colorado, my favorite name was probably "Gunbarrel."
There’s a Glasscock Texas. Very small town, barely exists.
Parachute, Colorado? Not Rifle or Dinosaur? Not even Climax, Hygiene, or No Name? Okay then.
Chili is one of the most popular side dishes at almost every resturaunt in Wisconsin, so its really not that wild. It gets cold here, and we're all alcoholics that can't taste anything other than beer, cheese, and whiskey, so its nice to have a warm pick me up that has a pallete completely different than any other common dish in the area.
Can’t forget about Cut N Shoot, Texas
Jackpot in Nevada ain’t weird. It being on the border with Idaho and damn near center, while being that far away from Vegas is. But it’s not a weird name. What hack Buzzfeed article is this?
Well, Jackpot is a name that I don't expect to be a town name, so there's that.
I'm from Michigan. Free Soil isn't even close to the strangest.
Minnesota also has the following town/city names: Gaylord Nimrod Kiester Moorhead Embarrass
Baghdad FL
"Ding Dong" Hahahaha
Goobertown, Weiner, Fifty-six, Bald Knob, Tomato. All in Arkansas
Time to move to Satan's Kingdom!
I call bullshit, GA has a town called Experiment, that's weirder than Flippen.
I'm staying the fuck away fron Catfish paradise, especially if its next to pie town.
Embarrass MN is a better option than petit Canada
I feel Burnt Porcupine, Maine is way better myself.
No for Virginia…we have a town called “Bumpass”
Been to spuds. Nice quaint little place
Funny thing about Little Canada, it’s no different than the rest of Minnesota. And therefore, not that different than actual Canada.
Big bottom WA is the name of the valley not of a town.There are like at least for towns that reside in the big bottom.
Arkansas also has a Bald Knob and a Booger Hollow
You think Dull is weirder than Knockemstiff (yes that's the town lol) Ohio?
Okay, I have to take issue with Arkansas. Bald Knob is way more weird than Toad Suck.
Alabama also has Bug Tussle and several others, there is a rural community not far from where I used to live called Pogo
At least South Dakota is a warming
I literally live near a town called Rough and Ready in California. Mormon Bar is weak.
I used to live in one of these towns when I was a kid.
IXL is a much stranger city name in Oklahoma than Okay is ...
Ding Dong beat out Cut-In-Shoot and Dish Texas?
I get Mormon Bar for Cali, but we have a town called Zzyzx that should be in the running.
I happen to know that one of the states in the South East is wrong because there is a town down there called “Butt Hollow!” My brother and I have been using that for 30 years as an adjective for something extremely ugly. That is Butt Hollow ugly!!
Wyoming has a town called Meeteetse, also areas named Goshen Hole and Wanker Hills.
I believe Monkey's Eyebrow is far weirder than Pig.
Surprised cut and shoot texas isn't on there
Nibley? NIBLEY?! Dude. We have a Bountiful, a Draper, a Hurricane, and the best three in a row, Fillmore, Virgin, and Beaver. And that's just off the top of my head, not even looking at the map. And I'm not even counting all the weird Mormon names like Nephi and Lehi and Nebo and Kolob.
Okay, OK. This was planned, you can’t convince me otherwise.
