Andre Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 There is even a name for a place called F......ING. There's even a pale beer that is labeled as coming from that place (even though it is brewed somewhere else). And since the German term for pale beer is Hell... well, you can figure the moniker of the beer out for yourself. Then again, while visiting Canada... ;) Cheers, Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChippyWho Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Then again, while visiting Canada... ;)/> I guess that would be Error 404 Not Found in Ontario? Sorry, of course I get it from the url string -that place has gotta be uptight and, largely, outasight! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flyingfortress Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Not to far from here is a town named Hell, Michigan. Halloween is big there as it the obligatory "Go to Hell" to get your groceries or gas or whatever. The sign at the town limits is of course laced with fire. If you Google Hell, Michigan you'll see dozens of photos of town signs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LDSModeller Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) Here's a couple from New Zealand for you Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapiki-maungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu I won't even attempt to pronounce it, here is a link to what it means Longest New Zealand name One that school age children have had fun with (especially at school) is the name of Whakatane. The name is New Zealand Maori, and just to give you a gist Wh is pronounced F, so phonetically one would pronounce it as follows F*ck -A- Taan -Eh. School children (some, not all - the more adventurous) know they can say it at school or in public without fear of trouble. A link to the place Whakatane We have other place names simlar like Whakapapa - great for skiing Whakapapa Whakarewrewa Whakarewarewa Te Puke (Te in Maori is the same as "The") so one would think The Puke right? No it's pronounced Tee - Pook - ee Te Puke Edinburgh of the South, Dunedin one would righly think (phonetically) Dune -din. No it's pronounced Dun (or Dan)- Eden My MIL is from Australia, when she first came to New Zealand she had issues with the way "One" seemed to be at the begining of certain place names. There is a suburb in Auckland called "Onehunga" one would think phonetically One - Hung -A, right? No it's pronounced On -E Hung- A (Or Oh-Knee-Hung-A). We also have a place called One Tree Hill, which is pronounced as you read it. My poor MIL really messed with a poor bus drivers head when she wanted to go to (you guessed it) On-e Tree Hill. A link to a few others that will get you laughing Funny New Zealand Names Regards Alan Edited December 9, 2012 by LDSModeller Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lawn Dart Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I live about an hour from a place called Dildo. There's a Shag Rock in the same area, and it's not too far from Conception Bay. We also have places like Joe Batt's Arm, Blow Me Down, Jerry's Nose, and Come By Chance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It must be one of those things that locals just get on with but visitors must get a kick out of the names especially Dildo.. Did the Pirates land there at some point!

You're taking soooo many of my favorites, and making me home sick at the same time! On F-18's the op check for the pitot static system is called suck and blow, a release and control check is called a bang check, and afterburner op checks are hitting blower :D Edited December 9, 2012 by rightwinger26 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
