Best funny city names are in Wales though ... maybe one reason modder didnt the welsh region yet?

the city is called: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

(i live in northern Germany we have small villages here that are called Rom and Texas and i can drive from Rom to Texas in only 20 minutes )

there is also a map for rude city names:

@NorthernNephilim: when I was a small Mr Larrington my uncle Ron - who was very very Welsh - taught us how to pronounce "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch". This skill had gained me precisely no benefit in money, prestige or success with women chiz.

Meanwhile, someone with too much time on their hands has come up with this: REVEALED: UK's top 10 rudest place names. My sister used to live in the road awarded #10 when she was a Penniless Student Oaf.

Llanfairpwll only has a ridiculously long name for tourism purposes, its 'real' name is just Llanfairpwll.

Pratt's Bottom on the edge of SE London, also Upper Dicker and Lower Dicker in Sussex.

In my neck of the woods we have Tumble, Plwmp, Shwt, Betws Bledrws and for the holy types, Bethlehem. For fun, try pronoucing Eglwyswrw without looking it up.

I got it right
Basically all you need to know is that w = u, that's what makes it so confusing IMO

There's a place in Georgia (I think) called Hopeulikit, and there's a town in Oklahoma called Okay, so it's Okay, OK.
