据澳大利亚《每日电讯报》8月10日报道，美国一网站的1754名用户从美国各种稀
奇古怪的地名中评选出“最尴尬倒霉地名排行榜”，位于阿肯色州的“蟾蜍吸吮镇”(
TOAD Suck)高居榜首。
据悉，“蟾蜍吸吮”这个名字可追溯到19世纪。当时阿肯色河上的汽船船员常到这
个小镇酗酒，喝得肚子像蟾蜍那样鼓起来，小镇因此得名。
佐治亚州的“高潮镇”(Climax)名列第二，俄勒冈州的“无聊镇”(Boring)列第三
。其它上榜的还有俄克拉荷马州的“妓女镇”(Hooker)、伊利诺伊州的“蟑螂镇”(
Roachtown)、加州的“拌嘴镇”(Squabbletown)以及肯塔基州的“猴子眉毛镇”(
Monkey"s Eyebrow)等。
网站发言人说：“如果举办最离奇地名奥林匹克大赛，美国肯定能夺得奖牌，即使
不是金牌。”(沈姝华) | I***i

Toad Suck, Arkansas Beats Out Boring, Maryland For Title Of Worst Town Name
Posted on August 10, 2012 by David Woods
In what has to be considered a major upset, the town of Toad Suck, Arkansas
has beat out Boring, Maryland for the title of “most embarrassing or
unfortunate” town name in the United States. The title was awarded by the
people behind the website findmypast.com, who conducted a survey in which
users could submit contending towns.
Boring, Maryland actually finished a disappointing third. Climax, Georgia
took second place. Rounding out the top five were the towns of Hooker,
Oklahoma and Assawoman, Virginia.
How could a town possibly have a worse name than Boring? It creates so many
funny names of places, like the Boring Post Office (a real place) and the
Boring Methodist Church (also real, and probably true). It also creates
unfortunate scenarios in the media, including tourist lists like “Top
Boring Attractions” and “Best Boring Restaurants.” Unless you live in
Everyone Who Lives Here Dies A Bloody Death, Wisconsin (note: not a real
town… yet), you really can’t do worse than Boring.
And what’s so bad about the name Toad Suck? Toads kind of do suck. They are
the lame version of frogs. Climax, Georgia is a ridiculous choice for No. 2
–that sounds like an awesome place to be.
The full list of the top ten bad town names is below:
1. Toad Suck, Arkansas
2. Climax, Georgia
3. Boring, both Oregon and Maryland
4. Hooker, Oklahoma
5. Assawoman, Virginia
6. Belchertown, Massachusetts
7. Roachtown, Illinois
8. Loveladies, New Jersey
9. Squabbletown, California
10. Monkey’s Eyebrow, Kentucky | a*****s
