Odd Place Names You Should Know About

I thought Kentucky had some weird place names (Tyewhoppety, Big Beaver Lick, Booger Branch), but those are nothing compared to the place names around the world that are rude, crude, and socially unacceptable in other languages. Fan y Big makes plenty of sense in Welsh, but is hilarious to those who speak British English, and induces a small giggle in those who speak American English. Rottenegg and Kilmacow are funny whichever type of English you know, but both make perfect sense in their local languages. Scratchy Bottom is just plain English, and a wonderful place to proclaim you are from. It sounds like a fungal problem. Rob Watts of RobWords takes us on a tour of places that might surprise or embarrass you. Yeah, I know, there are even naughtier place names that you can think of, but he never said these are the worst. In fact, he held back on explaining the very rudest place names. There’s a skippable ad from about 3:20 to 4:30.  -via Laughing Squid
