When driving through Tennessee, on the interstate once, I saw
a road sign for"Bug Tussle".

Some of you may be too young to remember but, former Speaker of the US House of Representatives Carl Albert, actually listed his birthplace as Bug Tussle (sometimes spelled Bugtussle), Oklahoma. It is/was a small community located on the south shore of Lake Eufaula near McAlester, OK & Carl Albert reportedly attended grade school there...

I don't know why...but, It seems the village of Farmer City Illinois. always seem to be funny to peeps that I talked to. Farmer City is where I always told them I was from. that was more well known than Mansfield. don't know if this counts. just thought I would throw it in there.

You can go around the world and never leave Kentucky:
Cairo (pronounced Kay Row)
Versailles (pronounced Ver Sales)
Dundee, Edmonton, Berlin, Paris, London (amazingly pronounced the way everyone else says)

But I think a lot of the best names are in Australia. My favorite is Wagga Wagga, a town so nice they named it twice

Pmowers,

There is a Woy Woy in Oz as well.
In one of the hottest and driest parts is a Siberia and Niagara. The latter supposedly named by a prospector after some rare rain which left a short term 3 foot waterfall in a normally dry creek bed.

I was going to say that. Then there are the signs that tell you how far it is to Whiteman (like there is only one of them in the former slave state). Of course we all know that Whiteman is the Airforce base where the bombers live.

I live about 18 mi southeast of Lookingglass and about 9 mi north of Riddle........in Oregon

 

[jstrubberg]

I didn't forget Peculiar, I just didn't think it was odd enough to make the list!

Or is that Aud enough...

Surprisingly, not in the American West, but towards the western end of England.

The only place name in Great Britain with an exclamation mark (officially) in it.

 

[nevadatear]

I live in Lovelock, pronounced just like you think. But it's no Toad Suck Arkansas. I have a picture of the sign. Then there is Battle Mountain, NV. Not so strange itself, but they have a big "BM" painted on the mountainside of the town. Pizen Switch is a lovely little former town in NV. We live right close to Rye Patch Reservoir, and the majority leader of the Senate is from Searchlight, NV.

 

[Jiminsav]

I can think of Ogg's hat, NJ..in the pine barrens.
Hopeulikit GA.
there may be a hopeulikit in Alabama too.
Clito GA..outside statesboro..which is what the Alman Bro's is singing about.

 

[rmclarke]

There is also a Boring, Oregon along with Idiotville and Wankers Corner....
