Dildo, Canada

The town has been ranked by a reputable magazine as one of the prettiest small towns in Canada.
Condom, France
This tiny commune in Southwestern France almost certainly doesn’t hold the same fascination for the French as it does for the hordes of American tourists who have posed with the city’s road sign, as the French use an entirely different word for “condom”. Despite its giggle-worthy name, this town has managed to make an international name for itself, hosting an international music “bandas” festival, an international chess tournament, an international chess marathon, and two 13th century castles. The commune was also featured prominently in the film “Le Bonheur est dans Le Pre,” in which a French man quits his job in a toilet lid factory to start a new life in this town.

Fucking, Austria
The fact that the name of this town outside of Salzburg, Austria, is pronounced “Fooking” doesn’t keep the road sign from being frequently stolen by foreign tourists. The settlement at this Austrian town, has been in existence since about 1070 and was so named to honor “Focko,” a 6th century man who is believed that have lived in the area. Fed up with the constantly stolen street signs, the City of this town held a referendum in 2004 on changing the name of the town. While the name change was voted down by residents, the street signs are reinforced; welded in steel and anchored in concrete.

Shortened by the locals to “Taumata” for obvious reasons, this 85-letter Maori word for a hill in Southern Hawk’s Bay is said to mean “The summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the climber of mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his nose flute to his loved one.” Alternatively, the longer, 105-letter word for the same hill, Taumata-whakatangihanga-koauau-o-Tamatea-haumai-tawhiti-ure-haea-turi-pukaka-piki-maunga-horo-nuku-pokai-whenua-ki-tana-tahu, is roughly translated as “The hill of the flute playing by Tamatea — who was blown hither from afar, had a circumcised penis, grazed his knees climbing mountains, fell on the earth, and encircled the land — to his beloved.” Oddly enough, it’s the 85-letter version of the name that is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as one of the world’s longest place names.
