There is a town in New Mexico called “Truth or Consequences”
It was named after a game show, and it was some sort of competition or something
I wonder why they haven't changed it back yet, because I'm pretty sure that gameshow was around in the 80's? Maybe they're still contractually obligated or something.
@@Bustedrocket wait they named the town Truth or Consequences because of a *gameshow?* There are like stores named after the place there!
@@Max-Films haha yeah I think they got prize money for it
@@Bustedrocket capitalism AMIRIGHT
There’s a town here in Florida called “Yeehaw Junction”
And there was chemical weapons testing there.

Jake Priddy no it’s not, it’s peculiar
Meitemark I stand corrected
In Brazil there is a city in the south called “don’t touch me” lol

Ha
He also said a jaguar/mountain lion was a leopard
Man you beat me to it. I was literally coming down to comment, "No Drew, it is not a ostrich or a velociraptor. We Americans call them turkeys.
Dutchie here. De Jong literally means the Young. My own last name is de Vries, which although literally translates to the Frost, it's actually usually a misspelled version of the Frisian. So yea weird, but real. De Jong is actually pronounced almost the same as the Young too; muffle the "t" sound and you're already there.
Would have expected either Jansen or de Vries being the most common. Not de Jong.
@@TrueValandor on the honour of the de Jong family I challenge you to nothing
As a Belgian I can confirm Dutch people have really weird last names
when I was 7 there were 4 kids out of the 23 with the last name de Jong (including me)
Je bent een beetje dom, he? De Vries betekent niet de vorst, en Friesland betekent niet Bevroren land. Heb je ooit gehoord van Freyr en Freija? Als iets in de buurt komt, betekent het "De Vrije"
Intercourse is an actual town in Pennsylvania called "Intercourse" Because my mom has a keychain from there saying "I love Intercourse"
I HAVE THAT TOO LMAO
Can confirm De Jong. Means The Young. I had a teacher, a classmate, a family friend and some guy who lives in my street with De Jong. None of them were related.
There is also a soccer player from there and his last name is De jong
@@xbladeptx6851 Which one are you referring to? Frenkie, Nigel, Siem, or Luuk?
(And then to think these are only the footballers that are still active... ;) )

In Arizona, there's a city called "Why"
In Michigan, pardon my language, there's a city called "Hell"
There's also Nothing, AZ, Big House (Casa Grande), AZ, Mesa (Table), AZ, and to keep this list short, Surprise, AZ
Correct, here in Michigan there is a city called Hell. Dunno why.
@@alliechastain9369 I've been there. I have a T-shirt.
My grandparents used to spend time there at an RV resort. We would camp with them there.
I live in a city called Winslow, and it got real popular in the 70s because the Eagles made a song about it.

Kim Jong-un xD
ha I am an english de Jong, check mate
No one wants to be me because I didn't kill enough people
Everyone in South Korea wants to be too, weird.
1:00 ive been to Intercourse PA. I go there almost every year at least 3 times. its awesome
@Happy_YT It's obviously Amogus.
I've been using those english bad named places for dnd Maps, then gave small secret rewards if they could guess if the town was named after a real one or not
2:22
Fun fact: "De Jong" just means "the Young" in Dutch.
Why you got so many young people? What happens to the old people? Netherlands?! NETHERLAAAAAANDS!
@@nakenmil Because the eldest sibling would be called 'de Oude' (The Elder) in medieval times, and if there were a lot of younger siblings, that would mean a lot of De Jongs
So that's why there are more De Jongs.

I've actually been to Short Pump, Virginia. And I used to go there pretty often for the stuff that I couldn't get where I live, without having to go to a big city like Richmond. Of course, that was before the pandemic.
1:12 "Weiner" also sounds like it comes from "weinen(cry/crying)" in this case it could be used for the person that's crying.
Nobody:
Ohio: *pee pee township*
Yeah, we are wierd, I don’t live in that township, but I live in ohio

When the most popular last name in Kazakhstan is Kim
Me, kazakh: WHAT???
Kim deez nuts
@@user-mw9dn8ok5d can confirm, I know a friend who has many Korean Kazakh friends.
Holy shit! There’s other Kazakhs here? Also, yeah, pretty weird, but Koreans and Kazakhs are distantly connected due to Mongol conquests and Genghis and his uh- reproductive **sprees** , that could explain it but still kind of weird.
Very Nice
I'd almost expect the most popular last name there to be some Russian last name.
"Hey, where are you from?"
"Hell."
"The most Lewd-Sounding town name in each state"
Essex...
Its not lewd-sounding its british
And it’s pronounced essix lol
Yeah there is a small town in Ohio named Essex and I thought it was hilarious
They used Bangor for Maine in the US and its literally based on the oldest Welsh city. Muricans are weird.

I think all Celts are always drunk
Well, they did migrate from Cornwall in the middle ages, so makes sense.
They are Also very patriotic and so proud of their culture that some School teach the britons as a régional language
Says the Frenchman while drinking wine
@@Cikenbane OK I live un à wine-producing region of France but I'm only 16 and this I have not the legal age to drink as it Is 18 years old
Little story that'll probably not interest anyone: Martin is the most common surname in France because St Martin is the patron saint of Orphanages, and considering many kids were abandonned throughout history, most of these children were named after said saint. And boy are there a lot in France. But anyway, cheers from France, and thanks for the great videos!
When you find out you have a place in your state has a place called “Booty” and yet I’m still cracking up bc of it 😂
"You have a place in your state has a place"
"And yet I'm still cracking up bc of it"
Ah yes, grammar 100
In Kentucky, there’s a town called Monkey’s Eyebrow.
I drove by a town in Kentucky called Penile the other day
drew: reading off hispanic last names
me: ._.
drew: where the Sanchez’s at?
me, a Sanchez: *I KNOW*
García is a much more common name. As someone who lives in barcelona, I actually have a friend whose dad is called David Garcia García because both of his parents’ last names were García :v but after García I would say Sanchez or Fernandez would be the most common
1:25 I have driven past that sign so many times, I don't even think about it anymore.
0:15 one flaw
Tokyo is in Uk not tokyo
10:31 "Is that a leopard?!"
Jaguars: "Am I a joke to you?"
Dinodogdude 209 too many don’t even know a cheetah from a leopard so...
At least he didn't say "is that a cheetah?"
10:55 I love how Kansas's top band is Kansas
5:52 flashback to when I used this map for my History presentation that got full marks
(7:05) The international date line has nothing to do with it. All it has to do with it is that one place is UTC-11 and the other is UTC+14, which is a 25 hour difference. You can fit two slivers of days on each end of that 25 hour period, with a full day in the middle. - People are way to fixated on that international date line, but it barely does anything. It does not determine your midnight. It does not determine your day of the year. It does not determine if you're going to turn your clock back or fourth 24 hours, since not all places have a 24 hour difference on each side of the line. - If you always set your clock to the time difference of the time zone you're in, then the international date line does not exist.

Grammar: basically is a one of the most important aspects of any language
Drew: *I DON'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT NO ANIMALS*
That's just his Alabama popping up
I mean it's technically correct. It's a triple negative so it's still the same as saying "I don't know anything about animals"
I think Drew was just riffing on a famous line in Gone With the Wind: "Miss Scarlett, I don't know nothing about birthing no babies!"
“Georgia, butts”
Me living in Cumming Georgia: 😑

I live near 'piddletown'
There's a common suffix to towns around the area 'bottom' and a town called 'bere' (pronounced bear). If history went a slight bit differently, we could have Bare Bottom as a town
5:38
Drew complaining about all the terrible memes that came out of his map video.
Drew not even three minutes later: 8:10
Drew: *I should make a flag video!*
Me: *sees essex on the wierdest place names in the usa*
Me: Wat
It’s a really common name in New England lol
Essex is also a county in the UK.
Theres also a region in Jamaica called Middlesex
The UK also has East and West Sussex as counties aswell.
NH has a town called Sandwich
Middlesex county MA.
1:30 That is in Massachusetts. Those are the signs that tell you every town you enter. Also, you can see the Mass seal in the middle.
Ancient Egypt (Khemit) was "just a river country" that managed to feed the Roman Empire. And that cat is a Jaguar, native to South, Central, AND North America (Mexico up through the southern states--we still get occasional sightings of them in the Southwest).
10:30
That is a jaguar, Drew. And yes, it's true. They wander up into Arizona from Mexico. They are literal fence-jumping wildlife.
Oh, so THAT'S why Arizona voted for Trump
That’s because they were there before those invasive pests you call humans arrived
4:28 Brittany is Celtic, that’s why they have so many bars. Just like us over in Ireland and fellow Celts in Scotland and Wales.
I know England isn't fully Celtic but England has many bars too
England is my city with bars
brittany is french, the celts were integrated a long time ago due to france's harsh laws against nationalism that isnt french
@@user-vk3uz3ml6t There are still speakers of Breton and there’s a strong regional identity there. There’s still a chance to keep that identity and culture alive, and it is alive in the form of traditional music and dance as well as the language.
@@danielwalsh193 yes, ive heard of the breton revival, and i hope it goes well being Celtic myself
You should have a look at a map of all the pubs in the Uk. It's pretty funny
I actually live quite close to that Brawl place, in the north of Scotland. It's about an hour's drive west of where I live.
4:10 *Italy, Turkey and Greece* 🎵🎶
Poland, Romania, Scotland, Albania, Ireland and Russia,Oman
7:15 , all people from the balkans are in Germany
:(
Drew. That thing you thought was a velociraptor. Well, that would be a wild turkey. Yes, it may come as a surprise to you, but there are turkeys in the USA on days beside thanksgiving. (Keep up the great work, loving the channel😁)
I think Drew needs to react to the town names in Tasmania if you haven't done already.
8:35 “Filadelfia”
Lmao wtf?
"VIRGINIA OCCIDENTALE"
must have been an Italian creating this one😂
12:40 its in AOC2 Idk how to download it tho a youtuber called "Gylala" covered it

Yeah
Here in Illinois we do have quite a few weird city names. Sandwich is one of them, Boody is a real place too. There is a Normal, IL and the list goes on.
TN has Yum Yum, Fruitvale, Friendship (I’ve been to Friendship...it’s a small town) + we have Three Way, Finger, and Paris (Paris has a replica Eiffel Tower)
4:15 Poland : roast *2 pieces* ....
Germany and USSR : say no more
Drew: Germany is flat
Netherlands: Hold my cheese
Not a fair comparison, the Netherlands' landmasses are technically artificially made.
@@TheBayzent If we don't count the polders, it is still flat as hell
We have a small city here in Massachusetts called Athol. Felchville is more impressive, but it's really just a few blocks in a town called Natick.
as a georgian i can confirm that there is a butts county

0:49 I actually live in curry mallet. Didn't realise it was that weird until I said it aloud
Tbh, I still don't see why it is weird, is it the curry part?
@@joelp7665 Well it sound like a mallet (hammer) made out of curry.
@@deadfart8354 Well that's just daft. It's obviously a mallet using for making curry (in the traditional British manner).
@@harbl99 oh yeah you truly are very wise
@@harbl99 or to illiterate yanks, it's better known as a meat tenderiser

There's a town about an hour or so north of Houston called Cut and Shoot.
Now here in Virginia we do have a Short Pump near Richmond. But one of our cooler street names is lickinghole Road. Also we have a battery and poe Street. And one I really like is Bloody Run Terrace.
no one gonna point out that at 11:11 the highest grossing band from illiniois is chicago lmao
And the highest grossing band from Kansas is called Kansas
drew: “im going from west coast to east coast!”
also drew: *starts at colorado*
Also felchville mass isn't even town its apart of Natick.
Some weird massachusetts town names I can think of are Ludlow and Belchertown.
Fun fact there is Florida, Mass and Peru, Mass which are both rural mountain towns
In the summer in northern Sweden the sun is still shining until around 11:00 European time and then it comes back two hours later
“This took me a while to figure out”
doesn’t everything drew...
Drew: "Wait-- is this real?"
Me: Well, I can tell you Bangor, Essex, and Intercourse are all real places.
I don't get what's wrong with essex
Jaigan JaihunTM ssx
I live right by Intercourse and it gets a little weird to mention it
Bangor,Maine, Middlesex county Massachusetts, Sandwich,Massachusetts, they are all in New England
Hmmm EntrnytiXit Bangor is in Pennsylvania too
The town Sandwich is actually named after the British Town of Sandwich. The British Town was created before the sandwich was, and basically the Lord of that place, called Lord sandwich, wanted to eat meat with only one hand while playing cards, without getting messy, so he put it in between 2 pieces of bread, then he called it a sandwich
10:28
Yes, we do occasionally get jaguars down here in Arizona. It’s very rare, but one was spotted by a trail camera in 2019 or 2018. I think since they are technically not native you can hunt them, but I’m not well versed on hunting laws, especially when it comes to big cats
They’re endangered species so you probably can’t hunt them either way. I think.
"that a leopard?"
apparently we're in afro-eurasia instead of north america, i guess
Actually,what is it? Jaguar maybe? No idea,don't shun me
Drew: I only know 3 Smiths!
Also Drew: knows 4 people
I love channels like this
Drew: "I can't believe Eagles is winning in California."

As someone who lives outside of Intercourse, PA, I can can claim that Intercourse is the worse name for a town.

1:25 there's a town in Northern Ireland called Bangor and I honestly don't know why it's weird.
I went to Penn State as an undergrad, and they had a rule that the students could name their "house" -- usually just the floor of their dorm room -- after a river, mountain, town, or some other geologic feature in the state of Pennsylvania ... except "Intercourse." They called that out specifically.

New Jersey LOVES rams, there's Ramtown, Ramsey, Ramapo (I think) and then the mascot in Lodi is rams
We have Essex in England too, and also a county called Sussex.
1:10 I expect Alabama’s to be incest but I guess that would be classed as normal there
Interesting fact: in Pennsylvania there's a town named Intercourse, and just a few miles away is a city named Blue Ball 😂😂
Intercourse was on the map
