Weird place names

Jump to newest

Upon typing on another thread the name New Zealand I mused if there's a Zealand somewhere. I then got to thinking on all the daft names places are called; Newfoundland because it was newly found, Christmas island because they found it on christmas. Not to mention all those 'indigenous' names that when translated mean things like "what? It's a river!" Or "mountain, stupid!"

So what's the strangest place names you've ever heard of?

The fact that there are only so many syllables available to us as humans means that certain ones are going to be repeated... A friend of mine showed me his jar of pickled clits from China!

did it take him ages to find them..?

and then when he eats them does he do so with great vigour, sometimes a bit roughly..?

Yes, in the Netherlands, Zeeland.

New Zealand got it's name from a Dutch guy, who didn't land cos the natives were a bit restless.
