Another day, another set of ridiculous maps.

.

.

Have you ever wanted to mow the lawn or shovel snow in the buff? Apparently it’s illegal for me.

You’re welcome.

I’ll take second best.

Yay Maine!

It seems weed rules the roost.

.

.

We have lobsters and Stephen King.

That’s memorable.

.

Now that’s a map worth having.

Ding Dong, Texas?

I’m dying…

🤣

I can’t argue with the Brits here.

I think they nailed it.

I’m not from Florida, but this seems pretty accurate as well.

      1. I like trig more than any kind of lawn mowing.. Doing it naked seems more like a punishment than a pleasure, at least in my back yard with all the wild blackberry and multiflora rose, not to mention ground hornets and saddleback caterpillars.
        I might come in at seven foe some early Home Ec, maybe knock out a nice batch of cinnamon rolls or something. Now I’m hungry, but not enough to go back to high school GO TO HELL GATORS!

  2. Okay, I want to understand why someone would want to learn local popular curse words not from their own state? Is it an aid to understand if we happen to visit and someone curses us? Our local curse word is “Saale” meaning “wife’s brother”…I think we are rather respectful 🤣🤣🤣

  3. When I went to school in Mexico, we were introduced to a dictionary of all of the uses of a word that doesn’t even appear on the map. And in Nicaragua they used another word with essentially the same meanings. It also doesn’t appear on the list. All a gringo can say is WTF?

    And I wonder what they mean by “remembered” for the states. Does it mean able to name it when it’s pointed out on a map? Able to recite a list of states from memory? Seems odd that N & S Dakota are in the top 10 and that N, but not S, Carolina is as well. (Seems like if you remember one, you’ll remember the other.)

  7. We have towns named Christmas, Baghdad, Wimauma, Two Egg, and even a New York in Florida. For fun, you can take out a map and start reading all the names of towns nearby. I think I gave this assignment one year to my Reading students. Just for clarity, New York is North of Pensacola. Yeehaw Junction is in the middle of nowhere.

      1. My husband’s family is from Mt Pleasant – a lovely little town that always reminds me of one of Stephen King’s novels. Every family has at the bare minimum five children and they all claim Brigham Young as a great great grandfather! Great place if you like your apple juice neat!

  12. Yes there is a Ding-Dong Texas. And the map for cuss words in Spanish missed this one………Chingate vieja puta hija de tu pinchi puta madre. Which translates to: Fuck you, ya bastard whore bitch and your whore mother. I’ve used this phrase a lot because of Sasquatch here at work

  13. Whoever researched odd place names didn’t do their homework for Minnesota. Little Canada is hardly odd. We do, however, have the towns of Embarrass, Nimrod, and Sleepy Eye (familiar to all you Laura Ingalls Wilder/Little House on the Prairie fans). I’m proud to say not only have I been to Pie Town, New Mexico, I also made a point of eating pie there!
    Minnesota may have been unmemorable in the past, but we’ve headlined the national news for weeks now. Sadly, we’re front and center at the moment.
