Odd named towns

[RED]

Every State has them that makes you wonder how in the world the names became the name of a place or town.

Arkansas has a Toad Suck and so does KY. There is a Hoot in TX and a Holler in TN.

Hold on to your beer mug, but In my opinion the funniest of all is Intercourse, PA.

"Toad Suck" means "Frog Swamp" -- any infantryman who has ever waded a few miles through a swamp will know why swamps are sometimes called "sucks."

My favorite is Rooster Poot, Arkansas.

It also means interaction between people, two or more (talk or something more interesting)

There is a Hell Michigan, Hot Coffee MS, and a small village in Austria named F**king.

Arizona had two hiways (95/96?) that connected. They both came from the north so it was a Y going south. The ADOT (or whatever) rule was it had to consist of at least three letters. So, the community got stuck with WHY, AZ. Near the vicinity of Ajo, AZ. Not physically but culturally.

Arkansas also has a Blue Ball.

The Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador may have those beat. One town is called Dildo (see https://www.newfoundlandlabrador.com...ace-like-dildo) and another town is / was known as Sheshatxxxx (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheshatshiu) although they now usually replace the last letter with a letter U
