    A native Pennsylvanian, I’m familiar with lots of towns in the Northeast, and I always crack a smile when someone makes a joke about Virginville or Bird-in-Hand (both in Pennsylvania). Eager to defend my home state, I set out to find equally cringe-worthy town names in other states across the United States. Below is an alphabetical list of the 15 I found to be most amusing.

    Acme, West Virginia

    Boring, Oregon

    Disappointment, Kentucky

    Embarrass, Minnesota

    Fart, Virginia

    Hell, Michigan

    Hot Coffee, Mississippi

    Intercourse, Pennsylvania

    My Large Intestine, Texas

    No Name, Colorado

    Normal, Illinois

    Odd, West Virginia

    Okay, Oklahoma (also known as Okay, OK)

    Poopoo, Hawaii

    Truth or Consequences, New Mexico
