From Knob Lick, KY and Big Bottom, WA to Booger Hole, WV, these are the 50 strangest (and funniest!) town names in the United States.

Smut Eye, Alabama

Watch out there, Billy Bob. You’ve got a little bit of smut in your eye.

Eek, Alaska
Via halaskaatlast-rach.blogspot.
It’s not every day that you can spend a day in a town whose name is an onomatopoeia!

Why, Arizona
Via Pinterest/foursquare.
You could visit this town in Arizona, but why?
04 of 50
Goobertown, Arkansas
Via dailystatesman.com.
There’s no shortage of funky names in Arkansas! We had a lot to choose from, but something about Goobertown just struck us as funny.
Just think, Goobertown beat out such illustrious names as Blue Ball, Bald Knob, Greasy Corner, Nimrod, and Toad Suck to earn this dubious honor.
05 of 50
Rough & Ready, California
Via geographicallyyourswelcome.blogspot.
That sounds kind of dirty, but what would you expect from Cali?
California also has towns named Sky High and Weed, because OF COURSE THEY DO.
06 of 50
No Name, Colorado
Via Flickr/Roger J. Wendell.
Maybe they’ll get around to naming this place eventually. Then again, isn’t weed legal there, too? Maybe they won’t get around to naming it after all.
07 of 50
Happyland, Connecticut
Via Flickstream.
So your town’s name sounds like an amusement park. That’s… fun?
As if “Connecticut” wasn’t a weird enough name.
08 of 50
Blue Ball, Delaware
Via TownMapsUSA.
Just the one ball is blue. Phew!
09 of 50
Two Egg, Florida
Via rootsweb.ancestry.com.
Our only question is, how close is Two Eggs to the popular town of Bacon?
10 of 50
Butts, Georgia
Via YouTube/Peter Chagnon.
Heh heh, your town’s name is “butts.”
Could be worse. You could live in Hardup or Jekyll Island, GA.
On the other hand, if you’re looking for a town in Georgia that sounds completely epic, check out Thunderbolt! How cool is that?

Gnaw Bone, Indiana
Via Pinterest/MichaelG.

Other towns in Indiana that deserve an honorable mention: Beaver City, Bono, Bud, and French Lick.

Balltown, Iowa
Via Wikipedia.
Hey guys, let’s all go to BALLtown.
(Another town that seems like it was named by a 12 year-old.)

Neutral, Kansas
Via Google Maps.
According to Google Maps, Neutral, KS looks about as exciting as its name.
17 of 50
Knob Lick, Kentucky
Via reallyweirdplacenames.blogspot.
Ah, Kentucky; please don’t ever change! In addition to the hilariously lascivious town of Knob Lick, you can also find places like these in Kentucky:
Bald Knob (guess they licked it too much?), Chicken Bristle, Fearsville, Hippo, Krypton (say hi to Superman’s parents for us!), Mud Lick, Monkeys Eyebrow, Pig, and Raccoon.
Yup. Someone out there gets to tell people they’re from Monkeys Eyebrow, KY. I guess it’s better than being from Pig?

Miscellaneous Foreign City Names, Maine
Via onlyinyourstate.com.
For some reason, there are a bunch of towns in Maine that are named for other, larger, more famous places around the world. Poland, Mexico, Norway, Paris… how metropolitan!
This world traveler sign in Lynchville, ME (pictured) proudly displays their state’s lack of originality when it comes to choosing names.

Boring, Maryland
Via manolith.com.
If there’s any place worse to live than Boring, we haven’t found it yet.
(Just kidding, we’re sure it’s very nice there. Don’t @ us.)

Via Geocaching.com.
Satan’s Kingdom is so popular that there’s also a town with that name in both Vermont and Connecticut.

Climax, Michigan
Via theexpiredmeter.com.

Honorable mentions for Missouri: Conception, Humansville (Go humans!), Licking, Peculiar, and… drum roll please… Tightwad.

From Knob Lick, KY and Big Bottom, WA to Booger Hole, WV, these are the 50 strangest (and funniest!) town names in the United States.
01 of 50
Smut Eye, Alabama
Via Flickr/Ginger.
Watch out there, Billy Bob. You’ve got a little bit of smut in your eye.
02 of 50
Eek, Alaska
Via halaskaatlast-rach.blogspot.
It’s not every day that you can spend a day in a town whose name is an onomatopoeia!
03 of 50
Why, Arizona
Via Pinterest/foursquare.
You could visit this town in Arizona, but why?
04 of 50
Goobertown, Arkansas
Via dailystatesman.com.
There’s no shortage of funky names in Arkansas! We had a lot to choose from, but something about Goobertown just struck us as funny.
Just think, Goobertown beat out such illustrious names as Blue Ball, Bald Knob, Greasy Corner, Nimrod, and Toad Suck to earn this dubious honor.
05 of 50
Rough & Ready, California
Via geographicallyyourswelcome.blogspot.
That sounds kind of dirty, but what would you expect from Cali?
California also has towns named Sky High and Weed, because OF COURSE THEY DO.
06 of 50
No Name, Colorado
Via Flickr/Roger J. Wendell.
Maybe they’ll get around to naming this place eventually. Then again, isn’t weed legal there, too? Maybe they won’t get around to naming it after all.
07 of 50
Happyland, Connecticut
Via Flickstream.
So your town’s name sounds like an amusement park. That’s… fun?
As if “Connecticut” wasn’t a weird enough name.
08 of 50
Blue Ball, Delaware
Via TownMapsUSA.
Just the one ball is blue. Phew!
09 of 50
Two Egg, Florida
Via rootsweb.ancestry.com.
Our only question is, how close is Two Eggs to the popular town of Bacon?
10 of 50
Butts, Georgia
Via YouTube/Peter Chagnon.
Heh heh, your town’s name is “butts.”
Could be worse. You could live in Hardup or Jekyll Island, GA.
On the other hand, if you’re looking for a town in Georgia that sounds completely epic, check out Thunderbolt! How cool is that?
11 of 50
Haiku, Hawaii
Via 1lifeonearth.com.
A’top Oahu
Climb the Many Haiku Stairs
Stairway to Heaven
(See what I did there?)

Dickshooter, Idaho
Via kazashop.com.
pew pew I’m a Dickshooter from Dickshooter, Idaho!
In actuality, Dick Shooter was the guy who founded this little burg. But still.

Hi. I’m from Normal. zzzzz
14 of 50
Gnaw Bone, Indiana
Via Pinterest/MichaelG.
There’s nothing like a town name that summons a gruesome mental image.
Other towns in Indiana that deserve an honorable mention: Beaver City, Bono, Bud, and French Lick.
15 of 50
Balltown, Iowa
Via Wikipedia.
Hey guys, let’s all go to BALLtown.
(Another town that seems like it was named by a 12 year-old.)
16 of 50
Neutral, Kansas
Via Google Maps.
According to Google Maps, Neutral, KS looks about as exciting as its name.
17 of 50
Knob Lick, Kentucky
Via reallyweirdplacenames.blogspot.
Ah, Kentucky; please don’t ever change! In addition to the hilariously lascivious town of Knob Lick, you can also find places like these in Kentucky:
Bald Knob (guess they licked it too much?), Chicken Bristle, Fearsville, Hippo, Krypton (say hi to Superman’s parents for us!), Mud Lick, Monkeys Eyebrow, Pig, and Raccoon.
Yup. Someone out there gets to tell people they’re from Monkeys Eyebrow, KY. I guess it’s better than being from Pig?

Welcome to Waterproof. Bring your own galoshes.

Miscellaneous Foreign City Names, Maine
Via onlyinyourstate.com.
For some reason, there are a bunch of towns in Maine that are named for other, larger, more famous places around the world. Poland, Mexico, Norway, Paris… how metropolitan!
This world traveler sign in Lynchville, ME (pictured) proudly displays their state’s lack of originality when it comes to choosing names.
20 of 50
Boring, Maryland
Via manolith.com.
If there’s any place worse to live than Boring, we haven’t found it yet.
(Just kidding, we’re sure it’s very nice there. Don’t @ us.)
21 of 50
Satan’s Kingdom, Massachusetts
Via Geocaching.com.
Satan’s Kingdom is so popular that there’s also a town with that name in both Vermont and Connecticut.
22 of 50
Climax, Michigan
Via theexpiredmeter.com.
You’ve reached the pinnacle of embarrassing town names! It’s all downhill from here.
Other noteworthy Michigan names that gave Climax a run for its money: Colon, Dick, and Sac Bay.

Nimrod, Minnesota
Via Flickr/Lorie Shaull.
You don’t have to be a dim bulb to live in Nimrod. They’ll train you!

Chunky, Mississippi
Via geographicallyyourswelcome.blogspot.
Welcome to Chunky, Mississippi, home of a million fast food restaurants and not a single Weight Watchers.
25 of 50
Cooter, Missouri
Via capecentralhigh.com.
Is there any more Missouri-sounding word than “Cooter?” We think not.
Honorable mentions for Missouri: Conception, Humansville (Go humans!), Licking, Peculiar, and… drum roll please… Tightwad.
26 of 50
Big Sag, Montana
Via marvelesartstudios.com.
Not to be confused with Little Sag.

Worms, Nebraska

“Hmm, I don’t know, but we sure have a lot of worms here. Hey, that gives me an idea!”

Sounds like the sound we make when we hit the couch after a long day.

Dummer, New Hampshire
Via Flickr/John Bolduc.
There’s a Dummerston, Vermont, too. I guess the Dummer clan got around the north country!

Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey
Via YouTube/Freedomtower Productions.
This town name sounds like Santa Claus sneezed in the middle of laughing.
31 of 50

Via historyandheadlines.com.
This ominously named town is located near Elephant Butte.
(giggling intensifies)
32 of 50
Coxsackie, New York

Not an embarrassing name at all!
Other funny NY names: Butternuts, Calcium, Conquest, Fishkill, Gang Mills, and Handsome Eddy.

Lizard Lick, North Carolina
Via onlyinyourstate.com.
Lick him? We hardly know him!
34 of 50

Another onomatopoeia town name. What, was “Zing” taken?

Pee Pee Township, Ohio
Via mediad.publicbroadcasting.net.
Welcome to R. Kelly’s favorite town! Be sure to visit the Tinkle-Tinkle Gift Shop and the best hotel in town, The Golden Shower Palace. Their motto is “We’re #1!”

Intercourse, Pennsylvania
Via Wikipedia Commons.
It sounds intriguing, but in reality it’s filled with super-religious Amish people. True story.
39 of 50
Woonsocket, Rhode Island
Via Pinterest.
Unfortunately, the correct pronunciation of this town name isn’t the super-fun “WOOON-SOCKET” but “one-sock-it.”

Sugar Tit, South Carolina
Via cdn.dribbble.com.
Ah yes, beautiful Sugar Tit.
41 of 50
