Quiz: Destination or Dirty Word?

Is the F-word an actual destination or just an extremely versatile curse word?

The last time we said "F*cking Austria," we were lost outside of Vienna with an outdated map. The town, which was named after its sixth-century founder, Focko, is infamous for its smutty name. You might even call Fucking the "mother" of dirty town names. The local mayor complains of having to replace stolen town signs several times per year.

Is Titlis an actual destination or just an uncomfortable affliction that affects only women?

A small village in central Switzerland, Titlis has no shortage of lofty peaks. If you can stomach high altitudes, take the Titlis Rotair Cableway to Titlis Glacier Park, which lies nearly two miles above sea level.

Is Sexmoan an actual destination or is it just a very descriptive term?

Spanish friars visiting Sasmuan, Philippines, swapped an "s" for an "x," and the rest is history. (Pictured above is an old church in town.) But at the height of its mockery, the red-faced Sexmoaners changed the spelling to reflect phonetics, thus eliminating a key tourist magnet: the chance to take a hilarious picture in front of the welcome sign. The town formerly known as Sexmoan is now officially dubbed Sasmuan (its original name).

Is Wankdorf an actual destination or is it something more, ahem, handy?

This town with a silly name is home to a serious sporting attraction: Wankdorf Stadium. The stadium has hosted the World Cup and the European Cup as well as hordes of sports fans.

Is Twatt an actual destination or is it where boys from Wankdorf wish they lived?

There are actually two Twatts in Scotland: one in the Shetland Islands and one in the Orkney Islands. This means there are double the chances for humorous travel photo ops in the region.

Is Shitterton an actual destination or is it what you get after a burrito-eating contest?

Local signage doesn't stick around for long in Shitterton, England, especially when naughty tourists with a taste for bathroom humor are passing through. Signs like the one pictured above were stolen so often from Shitterton, England, that the town needed a less crappy solution. So the locals carved "Shitterton" on a massive one-ton boulder.

Is Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch an actual destination or did I just lean on my keyboard?

Where's Mary Poppins when you need her? Pronouncing "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" is a cinch compared to this 58-letter Anglesey island village name. Thankfully, there's an iTunes song for that. Since you must know, the name translates to "St. Mary's Church in the Hollow of the White Hazel Near to the Rapid Whirlpool of Llantysilio of the Red Cave." But it's not authentic Welsh. The name was an 1860s publicity stunt created so the local railway station would have the claim to fame of longest name in Britain.

Is Yeezus an actual destination or is it just the product of Kanye's ego?

What happened, Ye? Not even 50 Cent is down with it: "It doesn'€™t feel like hip-hop to me." It's not a place we'd like to visit, either.

Is Twerk an actual destination or just Miley's signature dance move?

Though the word "twerk" was only recently added to the average American's lexicon in 2013 (kick it, Miley!), the dance move itself has been around for more than 20 years.

Is Weener an actual destination or should we just get our minds out of the gutter?

This town may sound like the Viennese sausage. But as you can see, the spelling is slightly different. A U.S. town, Weiner, Arkansas, holds the genuine sausage handle. But with a population of more than 15,000, the German Weener is, ahem, much bigger than its American counterpart.
