Funny town names/local funnies

[tiffbot]

I thought of a fun game thinking about the safe sex campaign that some of our health regions came out with recently.

What's the funniest town name/s or sayings or well known jokes in your province/state/area? The ones that everyone knows whether they've been there or not, or a gem you've discovered on a map, or a rhyme that's said every time.

This is the condom campaign:


Regina is our capital city and not pronounced how you expect..(hint: it rhymes with vagina)

The town sign at Climax is apparently this, although I've never been there and can't confirm with my own eyes I have heard it many times. Seeing as the condom company even used it it must be true 😂




What's your local inside joke?

Bringing this up reminded me about the time Saskatchewan was laughing at the internet when the Seahawks made it to the Super Bowl and heard Jon Ryan's intro.



ETA references from around here doesn't go viral (heh) often, so it's a hit when it does haha.

We don't have any dirty sounding names in Michigan, at least not that I can think of. We do have a town called Hell, which I visited once in a road trip with some friends.

We drive through Accident, Maryland to get to my grandparents.


I've also been to Intercourse, PA at some point. We went to a diner there with my chorus in high school.

We go camping near Licking, Missouri and always giggle at that one.

I was going to mention Intercourse!

There's also a Mars, PA, which was the center of what was probably an urban legend when I was in high school. In 9th grade the French classes all went to Quebec. Before we crossed the border they made sure we were all awake, because apparently once the border patrol woke up a kid on the bus and asked him where he was from. When he groggily replied "Mars" the guard thought he was being an ass and detained all of them for an in-depth interrogation.

I once went to Dildo, Newfoundland.

Closer to me is Balzac, which always makes me giggle.

I lol'ed at Mars. I lived in Moon, PA, too. They're about 45 minutes from each other.

I think there is a Climax, PA as well.

There's a Scotrun PA that we pass when we used to go to the Poconos. It always reminded me of scrotum.
