Welcome to the South.

Yes, Bucksnort Tennessee really does exist. There really is such a place. Normal people (well, ignoring the fact that they're southern) actually live in a town with that ridiculous name. We also have Bugscuffle, Defeated, Sweet Lips, Love Lady, Difficult and Skullbone, to name a few other towns in the good ole' Volunteer State, in which relatively normal people also live (again, considering they're southern, and would actually CHOOSE to live in towns with such ridiculous names.)

There are web sites devoted to nothing but lists of funny town names. Some of them are hilarious! Here are some of my favorites:

Accident, Maryland
Why, Arizona
Climax, Georgia
Screamer, Arkansas
Why Not, NC

There are dozens of others.

I think there is a Hell, Michigan. There used to be an old joke up in that area that when someone wanted something, someone else would reply, “Go to Hell and look for it.” I heard that from a Michigan State cop.

Well, aren't you being kind of a sourpuss, as well as a snob? You a Yankee or something'? Here in Texas we have Uncertain, Dime Box, Gun Barrel City, and my personal favorite, Cut'n'Shoot, to name just a few. I love unusual place names.

Nothing Arizona and French Lick Indiana.

 

[Pappy]

Florida has: Pancake, Spuds, Two Egg, Picnic to name a few. Whoever named these towns must have been hungry.

CarolfrinTx done posted Cut'NShoot, Tx dang!
No one knew it existed until a prizefighter, Roy Harris, another
white hope fought the heavyweight champ. Then it faded back into
obscurity.

Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump, intriguing huh?
Canada has several places with gritty names, villages, small towns...
I would guess they were named when Canada had wild and wooly folk settling the unpopulated area-like 'um.
