[SEVERELY NSFW] Part 2, The Most Obscene Names of Places: Europe & Africa

This is just uncalled for. This is absolutely uncalled for. Ugh. This is a city in Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia and I hate my life.

Okay, Sweden, you think you can get away with this just because you put a couple extra letters in there? We see you. I’m very sad. This town has a bad name.

Very funny, Oxfordshire. Very funny. Haha, they’re golden. Haha.

Twatt, Shetland and Twatt, Orkney are separated by water, but located immediately next to each other on a map. You guys are right next to each other! Come on! Why do you both have to be named that? Why? Help me.

Bonar Bridge is a town on the north bank of the Kyle of Sutherland in Scottland. It’s also a terrible name for anything, and I don’t care who wants to fight me on this. Come at me. I have nothing left.

Thanks for specifying that, Switzerland. Thanks. Thank you. I’m uncomfortable.

Butthole Lane is in Shepshed, Leicestershire, and residents refuse to change the name. They don’t mind it–it’s a part of their history. There also used to be a “Butt Hole Road” in nearby South Yorkshire, but apparently residents there couldn’t take it anymore, so they changed their name (to “Archer’s Way”) in 2009. Butthole Lane, however, is still going strong.

Oh come on. Let me live. You’re killing me. Stop it. Can someone please make this stop. Rectum is a hamlet in the municipality of Wierden, Netherlands.

Sigh. Titz is a is a municipality in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. We give up. This is fine.

Ass is a city in Ukraine. Sure, just name your town “Ass.” Who cares.

Shitterton is a hamlet in Dorset, and was voted “Britain’s worst place-name” in 2012. It’s name is over one thousand years old, and literally means “farmstead on the stream used as an open sewer” because of course it does.

Okay, this is just silly. It is a commune in northern France, and it’s just plain silly.

Windpassing is the name of four cities in Austria. FOUR. Good. That’s great.

Ah, yes. The middle one. Very good. Middelfart is a town in central Denmark, and is considered to be “humorous” to English speakers–but it actually just means “middle way.”

That’s right, Algeria has two places named just “Tit.” Tit, Tamanrasset (a village) and Tit, Adrar (an actual town). So. I don’t know. Visit beautiful Tit, if you’re interested.
