So the uk has a 1000 km taint π€
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.
Hahaha, such silly names!
Who would even want to live in a town called Glasgow?
Isle of man ; lol
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.
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.
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 :(
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.
you can claim you traveled to all those cities and hope people don't have a follow-up question
You can go see the Parthenon (full scale) and a Pyramid (not accurate) in Tennessee
There are some random things around the U.S. that often get overlooked.
How are you not mentioning that you can buy guns at the pyramid?
That's a very important detail.
Are there any respectable places in Tennessee that you can't buy both beer and guns? I mean hell, Walmart is supposed to be the low bar. If you can get a 12 pack, a shot gun and a few hundred shells and walk out without needing anything but an ID showing your 18, well this ain't America
Whoa whoa whoa, there's beer involved, your ID better say you're 21.
To be fair, the same is true for handguns and firearm receivers.
Shit I forgot. Cigarettes are 21 now as well I believe.
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.
Since I've seen this route i constantly came
"I tried out that shit barber shop, not bad!"
Still avoids Scunthorpe. There is no good reason to visit Scunthorpe.
Iβve only learned the name βScunthorpeβ 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 doesnβt actually contain any recognizable wordsβ¦ but I would assume itβs a perfectly lovely place regardless of that
Doesnβt actually contain any recognizable words
I take it youβve not heard of the Scunthorpe problem?
Actually I havenβt, fascinating! Somehow I didnβt even notice that word in there, I was just thinking about how it sounded like βscumβ lol
Quick, someone print out and photocopy this photo
Nothing beats, Fucking, Austria:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugging,_Upper_Austria
"Fugging (German: [ΛfΚkΙͺΕ] β), 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 always thought Twatt and Shitterton were so close to each other... Shows what I know
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
No Bell End or Wetwang?
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 just confirmed that all of those places are real as depicted
Lmaoo Glasgow
Ass Hill, you say π
Hey Assman!
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
