Gayville, South Dakota. Hell, Michigan. The western Australia city of Cockburn.
Either times have changed in the past century or two and put an entirely different spin on the previously innocuous names of towns, territories and entire regions all around this world — or a whole bunch of founding fathers scattered across the globe had incredible senses of humor.
To celebrate all the unfortunate or downright odd choices made in the naming department, our friends over at Thrillist have put together their list of the 14 most ridiculous place names in the entire world.
Some are imaginative…some are subtle…and some are just downright filthy. I mean, Fucking, Austria? Seriously, Austria…no puns or sly innuendo? Just jumping right to the point with both barrels, those wacky Austrians…
But now that you know this list exists, you really want to make a point of visiting every single one of them, right?
Head over to Thrillist to see the entire list.
