Top 7 Most Bizarrely Named U.S. Towns « Pun Intended
Written by Flying LlamaFish

1. Monkey’s Eyebrow, Arizona

I know nothing of this town, but I wouldn’t hesitate to pack all my things and move there immediately if given the opportunity.

2. Conception Junction, Missouri

I bet there’s something special in the water.

3. Boogertown, North Carolina

A few years in Boogertown would toughen up even the softest, most cowardly of whippersnappers.

4. Burnt Corn, Alabama

They better have good enchiladas.

5. Chevy Chase, Maryland

I wonder if they have a Wally World?

6. Satan’s Kingdom, Vermont

I’ll be sure to take my holy water with me. Rumor has it Lucifer works part-time at the local IHOP.

7. Ding Dong, Texas

No earthling’s life is complete without a visit to the door bell capital of the world.

    LOL! There’s also a Looneyville, Texas. I wonder if that’s a suburb of Ding Dong, Texas.

    The secret to Conception Junction may be the men’s eyebrows, the women’s boogers, the burnt corn they love to have for dinner and everyone’s fear of Satan chasing their ding dongs. =P

    Hi flyingllamafish-

    Ding Dong- to me- brings more to mind- a nasty chocolate covered -chocolate cake cream filled concoction- popular in the 60′s-90′s made by hostess. Interestingly enough it was actually the same thing as a Ring Ding- but made by a different company -It’s the kind of thing that you think is a really good idea to eat at the time– and then after eating it you decide it was not such a good idea!! But anyway- laughed at your door bell reference!!
    You must be pretty young!!-or Ding Dong to you would have brought to mind a nasty hostess treat?-not a door bell. The only thing nastier than a ding dong is a devil dog!!!– Look it up! A devil dog is a cream filled brown sawdust concoction without the benefit of a cheap chocolate glaze.

  7. Those are hilarious! Boogertown especially.

    I bet there’s a funny story behind of each of those names :-)

  9. Davina: I’d love to go sight seeing in Looneyville! I don’t doubt it’s a suburb of Ding Dong.

    BC Doan: I bet Satan is the mayor.

    Alik Levin: All of them be real!

    Daisy: Thanks for stopping by the Pun Intended Universe. Do come back.

    Tabbie: That’s some powerful insight!

    patti: I had never heard of Ding Dongs… but I just saw them at the grocery store not 30 minutes ago. They did look like something that seems appetizing at first glance, but later induces nausea.

    Marelisa: I don’t doubt it one bit!

    Very funny.

    I lived in Aitkin (pronounced ache-in) and in Paynesville Minnesota. I don’t hurt as much anymore. Boogertown sounds fun.

  11. [...] pm by Amy Boshnack I came across this post and had to share. PunIntended.com has a list up of seven towns with bizarre names. My big question — would you move to a place called Boogertown?  Some of my [...]

    There’s a Chevy Chase??

    I can’t believe you left off Florida’s best-kept secret (Yeehaw Junction).

  13. S. Smith: Aitkin sounds like a jumpin town.

    Lydia: There is indeed a Chevy Chase…. I considered Yeehaw Junction!
