Got worried about a coin I ordered when it said "CUT OFF," yesterday.

Turns out there's a town called Cut Off, Louisianna. Lmao! At the time, all I could read was "Depart post office, CUT OFF." So I messaged the seller and asked why delivery was cut off!

15 Funny Town Names and Locations

There are many places in the world that have strange names. Locations that
make you stop and think, and sometimes laugh. The name could be
extremely long, have unorthodox spelling, or hold a second meaning that is
sexual or unusual in nature. Some parts of the world have many landmarks
with unusual names, including Dorset, England, Ireland, Antarctica, Alberta,
and Newfoundland. The U.S. states of Arkansas, Texas, Kentucky,
Minnesota, and Pennsylvania also hold some funny town names.
Some of the people who live in these areas of the world do not like the extra
attention that their town name brings and are ashamed of it, while others
embrace the culture and history behind the landmarks name. The majority of
the list includes village names, with a couple streets included. Warning,
some of the names do contain bad language.

15. Avenue Road
Location: Toronto, Ontario

Avenue Road is a major north-to-south running street in Toronto, Ontario.
The road is a continuation of University Avenue, linked to it via Queen's
Park Circle East and West. Many Canadians consider the name of the street
unusual and contradictory-sounding. Robert Fulford once wrote that it
"sounded like an identity crisis with pavement." There is a joke about how
Avenue Road got its name. According to local legend, Lieutenant Governor
John Graves Simcoe was surveying the old town of York and came to a
spot on Bloor Street and pointed north. He said (in an English accent),
"Let's 'av a new road!"
However, Avenue Road is a common street name elsewhere, notably
London, where at least 40 streets bear this name. The word Avenue in
British-English means a row of trees, hence Avenue Road means a street
lined with trees. In Canadian English avenue is synonymous with the word
street.

area has received unwanted publicity through tourist guidebooks. The town
has also suffered from regular thefts of street signs. Each street sign costs

Council tried to change its name to Lost Farm; however, in the face of strong
local opposition, the village’s traditional name was reinstated.

seaside vacations.

Being a long ways from the equator - you'd think we were a lot closer to the equator.

Corner of Sunrise and Sunset!

 

Well, we've got Lizard Lick down here in NC.

 

Hagerstown, MD is an old city, pre-dating the Revolutionary War. There may well still be ghosts of soldiers trying to navigate their way out of the city.

To get from the new YMCA to a pub we like by way of downtown, here's what you do:

Head west on Eastern Boulevard North until it turns into Northern Boulevard. At that point, turn south onto Potomac Ave.

Continue south onto North Potomac St. (North Potomac St. is one-way, south.)

Continue south past the intersection with East North Ave and West North Ave.

Turn east onto East Ave.

(You can also get there by taking North Mulberry St, which is one-way south, and then heading west on East Ave. Just don't get confused and try to turn east onto East North Ave off Mulberry, because at that point it's one-way west...)

 

More Arkansas names that aren't far from me, Wiener, Greasy Corner, Turkey Scratch, Four Gums, Possum City..

 

Boring, Oregon.

 

Is the next town after cut off Bobbitville?
