FINDING HUMOR IN THE UNUSUAL:

Quirky Town Names across the globe

Check out this compiled list of the weirdest town names from around the world that will have you scratching your head in confusion and chuckling in amusement.

Let's start our tour in the United States where apparently anything goes when it comes to town names.  Interested in visiting Belchertown MA? Take a family trip to Intercourse, PA? Hygiene, CO sounds like a scary place to visit... who knows what you'll find there.

Moving on to our neighbors to the north, Canada has a fair share of weird town names, too. There's Dildo, Newfoundland and Labrador, which, let's face it, doesn't sound like the most inviting place to visit.

Next stop, Europe! Let's start with the small village of Fucking, Austria.  It's pronounced "fooking," but you can imagine the laugh tourist gets when they first see the sign. The small town of Condom, located in the Southwest of France, has a name that is sure to raise a few eyebrows.

If you're feeling adventurous, head over to England, where you'll find some weird town names as well. How about Shitterton, Dorset? Or what about the village of Ugley in Essex, which has been voted the "most unfortunate" town name in the UK multiple times.

As far as Kill, Ireland is concerned, it would probably be wise not to upset the locals. In Norway, there's Hell, a small village with a population of just over 1000 people. In Germany, there's a town called Kissing, which probably has a romantic atmosphere and attracts plenty of tourists.

If you're feeling a little bit mischievous, you can visit the town of Boggabilla, New South Wales, which sounds like a great place to pull some pranks. If you're looking for a family vacation spot, you may want to skip the town of Blowhard,  Australia.
