Top 10 Dumb Dumb Hometown Names
January 23rd, 2010Here’s the idea — make a sound. Any sound. Imagine someone just jumped out and scared the heck out of you. Now, take that sound and double it. It might go something like this:
“Yah!”
… OK, now double it …
“Yah Yah!”
Got it? See, you could name a town too! The problem with this list is that I’m not even sure what to say about each one. You can only editorialize so much on town names like Ko Ko (in Tennessee), Jo Jo (in Pennsylvania), or Fee Fee (in Missouri). So, without the usual inane commentary from me, here is a list of the Dumb Dumbest Hometown Names I could find. Of course I mean absolutely no disrespect to any of the fine folks who live in these places. But if any of them actually read this and could help me learn more about the origin of their town’s name, that would be great. Then it might not seem so dumb… dumb.
But for now, here’s the Top 10 Dumb Dumb Hometown Names
10. Yum Yum, Tennessee.
9. Zig Zag, Oregon.
8. Bo Bo, Mississippi.
7. Paw Paw, Illinois.
6. Lo Lo, Montana.
5. Tum Tum, Washington.
4. Co Co, West Virginia.
3. Ty Ty, Georgia.
2. So So, Mississippi. (Maybe So So and Bo Bo were brother & sister?)
1. Ka Ka, Arizona.
Got any more? Send them my way…
