Still avoids Scunthorpe. There is no good reason to visit Scunthorpe.
-
I think that's the Tom Scott video where I learned about Penistone
-
I’ve only learned the name “Scunthorpe” recently because I was reading up on a band I really like from there. I remember noting that it was about the ugliest name for a town I could think of that doesn’t actually contain any recognizable words… but I would assume it’s a perfectly lovely place regardless of that

Doesn’t actually contain any recognizable words
I take it you’ve not heard of the Scunthorpe problem?

"I tried out that shit barber shop, not bad!"

The best part about Shitterton is that the name comes from "sewer town." Not another language, no alternate meaning, it is just as it sounds in modern English.
-
The sign for Shitterton had to be carved out of a big chunk of local stone, because the normal metal ones kept getting nicked. Obviously.

Nothing beats, Fucking, Austria:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugging,_Upper_Austria
"Fugging (German: [ˈfʊkɪŋ] ⓘ), spelled Fucking until 2021, is an Austrian village (...)
Augustina Lindlbauer, the manager of an area guesthouse, said that the area had lakes, forests, and vistas worth visiting, but there was an "obsession with Fucking", and she had to explain to a British tourist "that there were no Fucking postcards".
-
I refuse to spell it any other way than Fucking.
-
"needlessly facetious comment from when I was in a bad mood edited to this"
-
-
No Bell End or Wetwang?
-
You missed out Minge Lane.
-
I've always liked that one. On a scale of fanny to gash, how impolite is it considered over there?
-
It was very popular in the mid-2000s but I don't think I've heard anyone use it since then. I'd say somewhere in the middle.

-
Lots of side trips available to places such as Upper and Lower Dicker (East Sussex), Scratchy Bottom (Dorset) and Minge Lane (Worcestershire).
-
If you want a shorter trip you can go from Blue Ball to Paradise. The road goes through Intercourse.
-
I am equally impressed that the journey is over 1k miles, considering the entire island is about 600 miles top to bottom. An extra 400 miles of no straight roads.
-
I heard the phrase, "as the bird flies" recently in reference to the 600 miles type of measurement and thought that was neat
-
"As the crow flies" is a pretty common expression on this very isle
-
-
-
Isle of man ; lol
-
They weren't exactly shy about what places were for in the middle ages. This is where the brothels used to be.
Also, Shitterton is literally called that because it was downstream from where all the sewage was flowing.
-
I always thought Twatt and Shitterton were so close to each other... Shows what I know
-
Hahaha, such silly names!
Who would even want to live in a town called Glasgow?
-
Lmaoo Glasgow
-
Since I've seen this route i constantly came
-
Here in Ohio you can go from Dayton to Marion in four hours but it's a commitment
-
I'm from Engagement Ohio. It's right between Dayton and Marion

Quick, someone print out and photocopy this photo
-
-
Ass Hill, you say 👀
-
Hey Assman!

-
I just confirmed that all of those places are real as depicted
-
Texas checking in... We don't have as good of names like that but we have cities like Paris, Athens, and Odessa, TX. I think there are maybe 20 to 25 international city names that would make a fascinating road trip and probably be over 1K miles/1600 Km.
-
So not only do you guys not have a sense of humor, you also aren't even creative enough to come up with your own names?
Pathetic
-
I didn't realize the shitpost community also comes with its own Reddit bots. Nice! The assholery is appreciated. Thank you for throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

-
The colonists really missed an opportunity imo, the USA could have had such great place names as New Fingringhoe, but instead it seems like only the boring names got copied :(
-
Although still not as good as these, Texas does have some weirder names. Point Blank, TX and Cut and Shoot, TX are two that come to mind.
-
So when I hear that someone got shot at Point Blank, they were in Texas. TIL
-
-
So the uk has a 1000 km taint 🤔
-
Gonna have to check out slutshole lane
-
Should have made a detour to Pratt's Bottom.
-
Ooh, I should be near a few of these in a couple weeks. Might as well make the stop.
-
*Knob'erGob
-
They have twatt swag too!
-
Doesn't exit?
Edit: road trip, not round trip.
