Weird Country Names
21. Twatt Scotland
Believe it or not, Scotland has two Twatts. Theres one on the Orkney Islands and another on the Shetland Islands, and both of them are equally snickerworthy. Our extensive research reveals that the only thing to do in either Twatt is stand next to the road sign with an arrow pointing your way.
22. Middelfart Denmark
Aaaaaand with Denmarks East Jutland town of Middelfart, we get into the most juvenile portion of our list...
Historical background: Middelfart was a hub for whale hunters from the Middle Ages until the end of the 19th century. Even though whaling became officially uncool in the 20th century, Middelfarters reverted to their old habits during both of the world wars.
23. Muff Ireland
One might notice that Muffs awesomely close to Burnfoot, despite being eons beyond it in the schema of funny city names. If you do hit the northern Ireland port city, youll be happy to know they even have a sanctioned Muff Diving Club.
Best time to visit: During the Muff Festival, of course. Thats when youll have the chance to seduce the Muff Queen after you kill it at the Lorry (truck) Pulling Competition. Should she not be suitably impressed, attend the Bilingual Historical Walk and try your best Gaelic pickup line.
24. Humptulips Washington
Humptulips?! Told you it was about to get juvenile... But, dont worry, the western Washington town got its name from a totallyinnocentsounding Native American phrase meaning hard to pole. Interpret that phrase as you will, but its likely our Native American friends were referring to the difficulty of parking their canoes in this town.
Super small town: There are only 60 families here, so youll either fear xenophobia or consider yourself welcomed to diversify the gene pool. Either way, its nice to bring flowers the first time you visit your neighbors.
25. Titty Hill England
Located in rural Sussex, Titty Hill is a great place to base yourself for trips to nearby Wetwang and Shitterton.
26. Pee Pee Township Ohio
Located in the heart of scenic Pike County, Pee Pee was named after the Pee Pee River, a name derived from the initials of an Irish settler, not what comprises its waters.
Local eats: The only business with a sizable presence online is Chesters Chicken and Shake Shoppe. We love chicken and shakes, but hate their spare PE as much as we hated actual P.E.
27. Anus France
Because how could the idyllic French town of Anus not be No.1 on any such list?
Reason to visit: Only to tell the tale. Theres literally no other reason to head to this corner of Burgundy.
28. Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump AB
A little vivid but mostly gory, indigenous people used to kill buffalo on this jump for 5,500 years by driving them off its 11metre cliff.
