I honestly can’t tell if these are real or not. I think if you post "Goat F#ckers Valley" I’d believe you

That's in Scotland.

Diocletion-Jones

Cockermouth comes from being at the mouth of the river Cocker, in the same way that Plymouth comes from being at the mouth of the river Plym. So it's not even that weird compared to Shitterton in Dorset, Brown Willy in Cornwall, Crackpot in Yorkshire etc.

It hurts (Fáj) is the weirdest in Hungary? How about: Double chin (Toka) ... Blood trickles (Vércsorog) ... They are taking you (Visznek) ... Big loogie (Nagycsula) ... Fenékpuszta (Butt heath) ... Look for it (Keresd)… Porn abbot (Pornóapáti)… Panty (Bugyi)… justto name a few.


FoxWithBoots

And let’s not even get into Könyök (Elbow), Apácatorna (Nun Training), Sonkád (Your ham), or Heréd (Your testicle)


Few_Owl_6596

Fun fact: the -d endings were diminutives in early medieval Hungarian


JacketDazzling7939

So… the town of Your Little Testicle?

Tetemvár? (Corpse castle)

Idk why, but the abstract bleakness of “it hurts” is way funnier to me than anything else I’ve seen in this post/thread.

NEW WHAT?????


DennyDeStructo

Literally just called New Black One. As to exactly what that 'Black One' is remains open to interpretation. Derogatory terms towards black people in this Serbia are virtually non-existent. People are too busy hating each other and their neighbours to give a shit about someone different to them.


Snirion

It refers to type of soil, nothing to do with black people. I dunno who spread this bs since I seen it multiple times on reddit.


DennyDeStructo

Thank you for the clarification.

It is located in the municipality called Serbian n*****

There is a village Serbian Ni^^a in municipality New Ni^^a.


magnet_tengam

"fucking lake" is hilarious. "what's this place called?" "idk but i'm tired of this fuckin lake, man" "fucking lake, got it"


TheBusStop12

A lot of places in Finland have names like that. The story goes that when the Swedes came to Finland to map the area they asked the locals what these places were called. Often they didn't actually have any names for them, or they were just annoyed with the question, so you get places named "The island where Sara shat on" "Swamp of the Moldy Ass" or "Asshole's lake" (all are actual places in Finland)


Cockur

In Finnish I presume and not in English as depicted by the map


AlternativeUse6191

The finns seem tired of lakes. In Sweden, there are like a dozen small lakes named Paskalamm, all of them in areas to which large numbers of Finns migrated in the 16th and 17th centuries. The name comes from the Finnish word Paskalampi, meaning "shit pond". I always imagine some poor farmers moving across Scandinavia to do rough slash and burn farming in some desolate Swedish forest and upon arrival becoming really disappointed by the nearby lake. "Shit pond".


[deleted]

Sounds like in Britain, Avon is the Celtic word for river but more than one river Avon because when the Saxons asked what is this is called there were misunderstandings.


TNOfan2

Cave Bulgaria and Batman Turkey right next to it. This is a joke right?


chicheka

Macedonians have a town called Prilep, which in Bulgarian means bat.


Mickey_Malthus

Batman, Turkey is legit. . . . this may have changed with the wave of DC movies and streaming services in the last 15 years or so, but last I knew it was a pretty remote place where awareness of the character wasn't really a thing. This is second-hand through a Turkish friend.


PuppetLender

Another source to confirm this claim: Hearts of Iron IV.


Pleskavica564

Cave is not even the weirdest one. We got stuff like Дупница (ass town), Горно Уйно (upper dick village), Бобов дол (bean valley), Старопатица (old duck), Безмер (infite/unlimited) and my personal favourite Злокучене (evil dog village)


pHScale

There's literally a Bat Cave, NC, that's 100% serious.


FaustDeKul

RockThePlazmah

Weirdest by who?


Mtfdurian

Muggenbeet is quite mild though. We do have, as well: *Kuttingen* (kut, yes that's the vulgar name for the front hole) *De Cocksdorp* (de Cocksville?) *Boerengat* and *Boerenhol* (farmer's hole) *America* (even weirder is that a well-known band is from there that originally played tex-mex music) *Koedood* (Cowdead) *Enter* And *Rectum*, which is still a small 200km away from Kontich, Reet and Aar(t)selaar. Or Aarschot, for that matter. *Nederland*, yes, Nederland, in Nederland? At least better than Rotterdam in the municipality of Albrandswaard :/ There also used to be *Kale Kluft*, which means bald eh... kluft?


Casartelli

We also have a pretty big town called sex-beer-uhm


[deleted]

I was about to add Schubbekutteveen, but upon further research, it doesn't actually exist. (Unlike Lutjebroek.)


JustAGal4

There's also Waspik (wash dick) and de Hulk


RickyTricky57

What is Portugal's?


crusadiercath

I don't know, but there's a place called "Cu do Judas", that means "Judas's ass". I laughed when I saw it, searched on Google maps and realized that it's true. (I'm native speaker of portuguese)

For Bosnia I think "Little Egg" (Jajce) should be here instead


masnybenn

In Polish Jajca is a slang term for man's balls xD


akai7

In Serbian it's the same so the name would technically be 'Little Testicle'


BillyButcherX

Little?


eni_31

As far as I know, you Slovenians and Croatian Kajkavians use it for an egg while others use it as a diminutive for an egg. Or at least where I live we do.


joelobifan

The icelandic one is fake


Westfjordian

Yes, because all the real ones are amazingly lacking in weirdness

Honestly, Neukmolen sounds like a possible name for something in Zeeland or something


Fix0000

Nah in Italy we have a town named Sesso, which literally means sex


Casartelli

Dutch have Sexbierum which is literally sex beer


DevilDashAFM

there are way stranger names in the netherlands than that. Such as, Kruishaar (Pubic hair), Pikveld (Dick field), Moordhuizen (Murder houses), Trutjeshoek (Bitch corner), Vrouwenverdriet (Women sorrow), Rectum (Rectum), Sexbierum (Sex beer rum)

Phhhh Złe mięso. You gotta be more insightful my guy. We had “[Cipki Suche](https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cipki?wprov=sfti1#)” in Poland which translates to dry pussies. Sadly since last year Cipki Suche is no more :(


MigraineConnoisseur

We still have ObedientPanties (Sfornegacie), DisturbFeces (Męcikał), Titstown (Cyców) to name a few.


DAP969

I don't like Złe Mięso.


antiquemule

In the French Alps near Geneva, we do actually have a village called “Pussy”. Loads of village names end in -y. I like “Gruffy”. Could be one if the seven dwarves.


nim_opet

That’s an intentional mistranslation in Serbia. It’s clearly the feminine noun the new town refers to (since there is a Srpska Crnja as well), referring to the black soil.


Responsible_Club_917

Chicago may join New York soon in Ukraine. It is a top voted choice of new name by locals for the town of Chkalovske in Kharkiv oblast.

smatbanana73

Wikipedia: The origin of the name of the town remains a mystery that is the subject of many local legends. It could come from an entrepreneur or local dignitary, who would have settled from the United States or who would have had as a partner an American citizen from New York City. Another explanation refers to the city of Jork, currently in northern Germany, where Mennonite settlers may have come from. The local historian Viktor Kovalov thus believes that the name of the locality may have corresponded to "Neu Jork" (New Jork) and evolved over time. It may also be the result of a transliteration error from the Latin alphabet to the Cyrillic alphabet. However, the establishment of the Mennonites officially dates back to 1889, whereas the name Niu-York predates it. Another track recalls that names with a famous evocation were frequent in the region in the 19th century. Historical maps show a "Swiss farm" near Druzhkivka or a hamlet called "Carthage" around Soledar. Also, historian Viktor Kovalov does not rule out the possibility of a joke.


Akolyytti

Oh that's nothing. There is in Finland Terskanperä (Dick's head end/ Dicksend) and just little further Pussila (Sackville/ Balls town, I guess translation would be).


No-Milk-1903

Curious to know about the hell in spain, someone to explain it ? Google show nothing with infierno or hell


rutinger23

It's called Los Infiernos, in Murcia, but no way that's the most strange name, we have dick village, dirtyman, female porks, and those are the ones that I can remember rn


Apocapollyon

Couldn't find much about the reasons for the name but as far as google can provide, it's a town of 30\~ people located in Murcia. The funny thing is, the name of the village is "Los infiernos" and the 2 most closests towns are named "El Limbo" (The Limbo) and "El Purgatorio" (The Purgatory)


LazyLieutenant

The village of "Sæd" in Denmark does translate to semen(not sperm), but seed would be the proper translation.

Iceland wrong


SalSomer

There are no towns in Norway called “Helvete”, which is the Norwegian word that would be translated to “Hell” in English. There’s a town called Hell, but Hell translates to either “luck” or “slanted” in modern Norwegian. The town got its name from an old Norwegian word meaning “cavern below cliff”.


Ainulindalei

Surely, wetfeet (Mokronog), Overshitting (Preserje), Old New Village (Stara Nova vas), Peaceful (Mirna) or Silence (Tišina), maybe even cleaners (Puconci) would be a better choue for Slovenia?


hankthesouptank

in the Netherlands id vote for Sexbierum yes that means sex and beer. no idea what the um means

Katzenhirn (catbrain) is so much better for Germany

Нью-Йорк and Гай


bromteh

Гай - небольшой лес


Vuvuvtetehe

Well, they stated “translated” rather than “transliterated”. And Гай does not count for my opinion.


SamBrev

Нью-Йорк is a real village in eastern Ukraine and as far as I can tell it must be named after the American city. Гай is a real town in Russia but it's pronounced more like "Gai" and its name doesn't have the same meaning in Russian. In general it's pretty bad, confusing and misleading of whoever made this map to inconsistently switch between translating and transliterating.


KriJollt

Wait until they know about Гайдук (Gayduck) and Самшит (Someshit)

Choosing Batman for Turkey? We have so much weirder stuff though. Like We have a town that's name roughly translates to Big Ballsack Village. How about Pothead Town? Or Bulldead Vill.? Remind you these are rough translations. The actual names are 1-Büyükdöllük Köyü 2-Keş Köyü 3-Öküzöldü Köyü. Also Batman is a city. Also also, these arent even the weirdest ones. These are the ones I remember at the moment.

There is no town or village in Hungary which name means "it hurts"


hungarianretard666

There are some better ones for Hungary than Fáj/It hurts There is village called Pogányszentpéter which literally much means Pagan Saint Peter, which doesn't make any sense whatsoever Similar to Fáj, but maybe funnier is Nagybajom, translates to 'my big problem/issue/trouble' My personal favourite has to be Bugyi or 'Panties', a village just south of Budapest. Near Bugyi is another small village (actually a part of another village nowadays, but whatever) called Sári, the most common nickname for the Hungarian equivalent of the name Sarah, so to get to Sarah from Budapest, you have to go through Panties I'm sure there are some other funny ones I'm missing, but these are the first ones to come to my mind Edit: there is a village called Ondód, which means 'your sperm' Edit2: also Heréd, meaning 'your testicle', which is about 185 kms from 'your sperm' (talk about a money shot)
