The Really Rude Map

There are a lot of place names in the world that are considered rude, explicit, and even downright obscene, especially in a different language. These place names are collected in the Really Rude Map. You can scan the entire world, or zoom in to bring up more place names. Be warned that your co-workers will consider this NSFW. It was difficult enough for me to find a section tame enough for a screenshot to post here. -via Boing Boing

I love telling people where I'm from and seeing their reactions. I then tell them that it is a Native American term, the definition, and that it's a real place. My family, back as far as my great grandpa, have navigated the Humptulips River in drift boats salmon & steel-head fishing thru the years. With my dad and grandpa being swamped out of the boat at least once, that I know of. Funnily enough, I've never ridden a boat on the river.

I looked it up, and it seems that your town got its name from the Indian word for "Hard to Pole."

Happy to see my old hometown Humptulips, WA is on the list!
