There are two types of people: those who enjoy traveling and those who don’t. And there’s also the clash between them, with travelers obsessively trying to convert the non-travelers and non-travelers begging to be left alone on the issue.
Well, dear non-travelers, here’s yet another reason for you to get out of your comfort zone and to see the world more. Or should I say, to go see some hilarious city road signs because, believe you me, these are gems. Here’s a list of the most ridiculously hilarious city and town signs.

World's End
Well, you don't want to drive over the edge of the world into the abyss.

Penistone
The place-name Penistone is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as Pengestone and Pangeston. Penistone is situated on a high ridge, which is believed to be the source of its name.[3] Penistone derives from penn in Old Welsh, which means head, end, top, height or hill, and the Old English ing, a place-name forming suffix and tun, an enclosure, farmstead, village or estate. It most likely means a farm or village at or called Penning. (Wikipedia)

Also The Wallops, including Over Wallop, Middle Wallop, and Nether Wallop. This is near us, and as there's a lot of MOD land around here for a while there was also a sign for Wallop Defence Systems. How British can you get? If they dare to land on our shores we'll wallop 'em.

I want to add some Swedish goodies, like Cu**y (Fittja), Tourmented Ballsack (Pungpinan), Cockvagina (Snorrslida) , Menstruation Swamp (Mensträsk) ...
Here to add some Spanish jewels: Cockvile (Villapene), Sewer/Drain (Alcantarilla), Getoutifyoucan (Salsipuedes), Thomb (Pulgar), Gossip's Tower (Torre de Cotillas), The Hells (Los Infiernos) which is surrounded by The Limbo (El Limbo) and The Purgatorium (El Purgatorio)...
You forgot the famous Vicious Villa (Villaviciosa)

I enjoyed that, I've travelled around England and I've seen a few of these and I promise all the locations are real. Oh how I laughed.
We have an excellent sense of humour in the UK. Meanings change but we keep our street and place names despite that.

A popular place for tourists to visit for a quick photo!

Pennsylvania also has some great ones. Like Egypt, and Indiana. Mars. Moon. And my personal favorite, Intercourse, which is just a few miles from Paradise and Blue Ball.

This is so funny. I almost died when I read "Upper Dicker" 🤣 but my most favorite funny town name must be "Ding Dong, Texas"
Near to where I live is a town called "Drogen" (drugs). They got their sign stolen a good amount of times, but honestly, the absolute peak of irony was when a certain Frau Hanf (Mrs. Hemp) was mayor. Also Germany's got Pissen (no translation needed, right?), Oberkaka and Unterkaka (Higher and lower Poo), Hundeluft (Dog's air), Kotzen (Vomit) and Elend (Misery)
I might be living in Lower Poo *now*, but once I make it, I'll move to posh, upscale Upper Poo!

We have so many fun names. Near me there's Long Itchington and Bishops Itchington. In Cornwall, there's Mousehole (pronounce Mowzul). In the southwest, there's Westward Ho! (the only town with an exclamation mark in it). The names are weird and wonderful. BTW, all the names about slags and sluts etc., ARE named for places where you could engage with sex workers of yesteryear, and nobody bothered changing the names later.
Gotta say that if a certain formerly cool little town in CA had just kept the name 'Slabtown' we would n't have all the pretentious pr*cks that have invaded it now.
There’s a town in Austria named F***ing. There’s also Oberf***ing and Unterf***ing
well they take the cake you here of some funny ones from time to time but these there great lol
in the first few pages of Bill Bryson's 'Notes from a Small Island' he describes a street in London called Gropecunt Lane. I swear I'm not making that up :)
just why the hell these thing is real? does the one who makes the name is drunk when making the decision?
Some of these place names are centuries old.

There is also a "Yossi ish ha'bira" street in Israel, after a talmudic sage whose name actually means "Joseph from the capital" (bi-RA) but can be equally read as "Joe beerman" (BI-ra).
In Israel, there is "Beit Choron Elyon" and "Beit Choron Tachton", literally "upper hole's home" and "lower hole's home". (In fact Choron here comes from the ancient greek "chora", land or country).
There is F*****g, Austria. Down road from Kissing and Petting. "Hell" in German means a light beer, a lager. A beer company opened a brewery in F*****g just so they could legally market a beer called "F*****g Hell".

But I feel like someone had to know. They are sitting in their kitchen literally laughing every minute. Long game is the best game.
This is why I love English place names, the English language, history and ... tho folly of human beings!
So old, so old! This lot has been doing the rounds for decades and was out there before the internet started.
Oh bless, it doesn’t mean that we still can’t have a good laugh. I still pull a map of Shetland and Orkney place names if I want to laugh like a five year old.
