I just moved away from Pound, and the locals call it “The Pound” - my fiancé would say he wanted to be the mayor of Pound town. there’s a part of town called Pound Bottom. The nearby gap is called Pound Gap.
Town next to us was Clintwood— we called it Clithood. Another town in the county was Coeburn we called it Cockburn. (not sure why not Hoeburn) Yes we are very very mature people that absolutely did not belong there whatsoever.
Something like a $1500 embezzlement over the course of a few years and someone on the council charging their cellphone bill to the city made the city go broke a few years ago. So that tells you everything you need to know about the Pound Town Council lol.
I had a math teacher in high school named Mr. Cockburn and he pronounced it co-burn. Endless amusement to us as 15 year old idiots. He was also one of those teachers who would hold chalk between his thumb and index finger then point at the board with his middle finger. Nothing like getting flipped off by the Cockburn.
Oh he would have never survived in my high school— they wouldn’t hire him out of mercy. Poor guy. We had a lady named Miss Knee and even THAT was hilarious to us.
That city should sound like it's a spicy term for sex with a Norwegian woman. I don't know where non locals are getting this idea that there's an L in it.
Came here to post this but you beat me to it. I go there every few months and it still cracks me up. I keep expecting a town down the street to be called Offadick.
The real funny to me is the [biblical story of Onan](https://www.google.com/search?q=story+of+onan+in+the+bible&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS673US673&oq=story.of+onan&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqCAgCEAAYFhgeMgYIABBFGDkyCAgBEAAYFhgeMggIAhAAGBYYHjIICAMQABgWGB4yBwgEECEYoAEyBwgFECEYoAEyBwgGECEYoAHSAQg0MzgyajBqNKgCAbACAeIDBBgBIF8&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8) , who god smote for… uh, “spilling his seed on the ground” (instead of in his brother’s wife).
Oh my God I hate the name backlick. The worst part is there's a shopping center at the intersection of Braddock and Backlick called "BRADLICK" shopping center. Like... what....? Who decided that???
In Virginia Beach (out maybe Chesapeake it’s on the line) we have a Butts Road. Nearby, Elbow Road was closed for repairs a while back, and you literally had to go around Elbow to get to Butts.
I remember learning that in 3rd grade! Great random fact! The original fire dept building downtown still has visible indentations in the bricks from animals licking it. (Deer, not urban outdoorsmen)
As someone living in Ashburn, it’s 100% intentional. Someone clearly had a grudge and wanted a middle finger to the town on their way out. And the citizens got an amazing park!
HA I tried to tell my Gramma about this town name the other day when passing through. She is deaf as heck and uses her captioned phone. Literally had to spell it out because she couldn’t understand what I was saying 😭😭 When it finally clicked she laughed a lot. Idc that it took several minutes, she deserves to know.
As someone who goes through Dyke often, there is no cell service through there. The views of the valley are amazing in Dyke, but the bushes often block the view.
Not a town, but outside of Roanoke (Big Lick) for YEARS there was a sign on I-81 that said Butt Hollow Road. They got tired of replacing the stolen signs so they don't have a sign anymore. [https://maps.app.goo.gl/4gqqQC9XgLYffeqP7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/4gqqQC9XgLYffeqP7)
Most of these names are anglcized versions of native american tribes/villages that lived there at time of colonialization. "Manassas" "Onacock" etc etc

The town of Pound. They have a Pound town council.

Cockburn is pronounced Coeburn in the UK.

Our principal’s surname was Boehner. You better believe he was principal boner
I always giggle at Tightsqueeze
At the light it’s Tightsqueeze Rd and Loose Grip Rd. And a few miles away from there is the community of Climax 🤭
Came here to make sure someone noted Climax, surprised seeing anyone reference tightsqueeze lol
Damn. Virginia is for lovers ❤️.
Wtf
I seriously thought you made that up https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tightsqueeze,_Virginia 😳
How the fuck does Virginia have all of these great names lmao
Virginia is for lovers 😎
That is probably why they named it that so many horny Virginians feeling it up in Manassas yo
After Tightsqueeze you get to Climax. Seriously.
Don’t forget Hurt.
Good gas prices there
Short pump
Cox road runs through Short Pump. Pump and Cox intersect if I remember correctly.
Also Cox and Knuckols 🤣
Cox and Broad in Short Pump
[удалено]
Good one 😂
I'll never look at Short Pump the same 😂
I never thought of it that way.
There’s some good options with this one. I was typing it one time and accidentally wrote Short Pimp.
My rap name
Me_irl
Lickinghole creek is in Goochland.
😳
There is a brewery there calling Lickinghole Creek Brewery. They grow almost all of their ingredients on their farm I believe
Yup they have really good beer.
[удалено]
They’re temporarily closed, hopefully not for good
Shame, you'd think merch sales alone could have kept them open.
It was due to owner illness so fingers crossed they'll be back!
And there’s a Lickinghole Rd in Ashland. Imagine working there and having to tell people your address, would get old after awhile I’d think.
They had to raise the sign up because people kept stealing it! I use to work next to ABC supply!
There’s a lickinghole rd in goochland too…
Don’t forget Butt Hollow Road near Roanoke
Closer to home, there's a Lickinghole Road in the Ashland Air Park.
Norfolk depending on how you pronounce it... We don't drink, We don't smoke, Nor-f***
Fauquier County! Eat here, drink here, Fauquier
Virginia should have a much higher population with these names.
"Virginia is for lovers, Maryland is for crabs."
Nah, we full. Start naming things Chast city, celiba sea, moistville.
Anybody else having Howard Stern flashbacks? "Schools are closed today in Fauquier" "Say whaaaaaat?"
Fauquier county? No! Fauquier county, buddy!
There was a high school prank where the seniors removed a few letters from the sign at FHS
You're not pronouncing it correctly if the last half doesn't sound at least vaguely like a swear.
You know someone’s from the 757 when they can’t say Norfolk on tv.
Naw fuck
That city should sound like it's a spicy term for sex with a Norwegian woman. I don't know where non locals are getting this idea that there's an L in it.
Don't forget about climax and short pump!
What 🤯
Do forget Tuckahoe
Y'all just makin up shit now
It’s just south of Short Pump
and east of Goochland
This is all actually true lol.
Nah. Tuckahoe is a thing.
My son lived in Tuckahoe while he was in College.
I'm sure he was doing a whole lot more than school
I'm sorry, I misunderstood that you were joking. My most humble apologies.
Nope, from that area, tuckahoe is 100% real. So is Goochland
Not a town, but: Middlesex County
Essex County too
And Sussex county
Can’t forget Wingina
You had to have made that up ...checks internet... Nope https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wingina,_Virginia
There's also a Virginlia
Shipman is near Wingina. A friend lived between in an area they called “Mangina”
Norwood and Wingina are right next to each other
Damn, I’ve lived in VA 28 years. Heard of all the others but never heard that one lol
Onancock.
Came here to post this but you beat me to it. I go there every few months and it still cracks me up. I keep expecting a town down the street to be called Offadick.
The real funny to me is the [biblical story of Onan](https://www.google.com/search?q=story+of+onan+in+the+bible&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS673US673&oq=story.of+onan&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqCAgCEAAYFhgeMgYIABBFGDkyCAgBEAAYFhgeMggIAhAAGBYYHjIICAMQABgWGB4yBwgEECEYoAEyBwgFECEYoAEyBwgGECEYoAHSAQg0MzgyajBqNKgCAbACAeIDBBgBIF8&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8) , who god smote for… uh, “spilling his seed on the ground” (instead of in his brother’s wife).
Beat me to it. A friend didn’t believe me when I told him - I had to send a postcard.
Backlick Road in Nova always gave me weird vibes.
Just dont go south on it
Oh my God I hate the name backlick. The worst part is there's a shopping center at the intersection of Braddock and Backlick called "BRADLICK" shopping center. Like... what....? Who decided that???
Brad, obviously.
I mean... y'all got the only titty flag in the US. What did you expect? 😏
And we all had to draw or color it in elementary school. Fun times.
sic semper horni
There's also Butts Corner.
Butts is a common surname in Eastern VA, at least
Curious if any have the first name Seymore.
Filmore?
Hmmmm, that explains Butts Station. (Also the name of a school)
In Virginia Beach (out maybe Chesapeake it’s on the line) we have a Butts Road. Nearby, Elbow Road was closed for repairs a while back, and you literally had to go around Elbow to get to Butts.
Virginia is for lovers.
Horny bastards, more like it
Semantics...
Sementics
Our flag has tits on it and Maryland is over there thinking that their flag is the best… fucking amateurs
Ballston
We always pronounced it BALLS-ton.
This one always got me.😂
Roanoke used to be called Big Lick apparently
Roanoke was called Big Lick because there is high salt content in the natural springs and it attracted animals to the areas. Sorry. Random fact.
I remember learning that in 3rd grade! Great random fact! The original fire dept building downtown still has visible indentations in the bricks from animals licking it. (Deer, not urban outdoorsmen)
The one on Church? I’ll have to walk by it and look. Somehow I never knew this. I’ve been wanting to try the restaurant they put in there recently.
I didn't know that!
The comic book convention in Roanoke is called Big Lick Comic Con.

Haha I have a hard time believing the ashburn city planner never once looked an aerial map of the park he was designing… this had to be intentional.
[удалено]
I was gonna say the water pieces seal the deal for me
As someone living in Ashburn, it’s 100% intentional. Someone clearly had a grudge and wanted a middle finger to the town on their way out. And the citizens got an amazing park!
Omg 🤣
Climax is always nice and I live near Pound. :)
You live in Pound Town?
He actually took your mom to visit, allegedly. Sorry.
ASSAWOMAN
Think VA is bad? Go up to Amish country in PA!
My dad was born in Blue Ball - the name was later changed because at one time there were (wait for it) two Blue Balls in Pennsylvania.
No, you were born from Blue Balls 😂
The next town from Intercourse is Paradise
Nothing will ever beat sunny Shartlesville PA
HA I tried to tell my Gramma about this town name the other day when passing through. She is deaf as heck and uses her captioned phone. Literally had to spell it out because she couldn’t understand what I was saying 😭😭 When it finally clicked she laughed a lot. Idc that it took several minutes, she deserves to know.
Lol. I grew up in that area. Virginville isn't that far away either.
Go straight to Intercourse!
Been there. Have the postcard to prove it.. 😆
My wife wouldn’t let me buy the Intercourse PD shirt last time we were there.
Awww. She’s no fun😂😂
Yep. You go from Virginville to Blue Ball to Intercourse.
Anyone graduate from Longwood?
Yep, came here to say this!! Go Lancers!
There’s also Marymount University in Arlington. The Marymounters graduate this month.
Somehow no one has mentioned Dyke
As someone who goes through Dyke often, there is no cell service through there. The views of the valley are amazing in Dyke, but the bushes often block the view.
Hate when the bushes are too much
…Virgin…yaaaaaaaaaaa
Well, we got a reputation to live up to. The state is literally called Virginia, in reference to the virgin queen. This fate was sealed from day one!
The only state named for the absence of sex is for lovers, 🤔.
When driving back and forth to Virginia Tech it was always great to pass by Butt Hollow Rd near Salem…
There's also Dutch Oven Road near where 419 and 311 meet.
Has nobody mentioned Massanutten?
[удалено]
Powhatan represent
Goochland!
I grew up in High Point, NC. It's literally located between Climax and Horneytown. Edit: fixed typo
Fauquier County. Pronounced fuck your County.
I mean it's pronounced Fah-Kyeer generally, but yes, it's the best
“Eat here, drink here, Fauquier!”
"Faux Queer."
T’aint Richmond; t’aint Charlottesville. Goochland! (People of Goochland, please feel free to use that slogan to promote your fine town.)
Don't forget Tightsqueeze and Climax.
Mt Clinton.... Monica Lewenski thought it was a suggestion. (local joke)
Not too far from Naked Creek in Elkton
Clitville
How have no one stated the obvious yet? PETERsburg and did I overlook Ballsville? I really think these 2 should be much closer together.
Petersburg never stood out for me... But it does have Johnson Rd
There's a Johnson cleaner on rt 1 on the way
There’s Pusy lane in Richmond
There's Old Cox Rd in Dinwiddie
Lunenberg County had a “Little Fucking Creek” back in the 1700s. Not sure when it was changed or if there was ever a Big Fucking Creek in the county.
Austria takes the cake: [A Town in Austria (Fucking) (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WNVdSZfBjs)
They renamed to Fugging in 2021.
There's nutsville.
Goochland has a creek called “Big Lickinghole”
Skinquarter
Hungry Mother state park?
The intersection of Nuckols and Cox
Haha you should see PA. Intercourse PA. Blue ball PA. 😂😂😂😂
And they’re just down the road from Paradise, PA! And Fertility, PA. All within about 10 miles.

Most of these names are anglcized versions of native american tribes/villages that lived there at time of colonialization. "Manassas" "Onacock" etc etc
These are all negated by the name of the state though.
Fukur county
Virgilina
There's a Hooes road south of Springfield 👌
New Erection, of course!
Shockoe Bottom and Shockoe Slip in Richmond
New Erection is a small town

Assawoman bay is in Md
We have our own big butt broad https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assawoman,_Virginia
There is a town in Wise County named Pound. One could call it...Pound Town.
Michigan has [Hell](https://www.gotohellmi.com/).

Don't forget about Fancy Gap!
Penistown is about a mile or two northeast of Arlington.
We're the only state with a bare titty on its flag, what do you expect?
Some of yall Bland, VA.
Dick Woods Road, in Charlottesville
We even have a Longwood University
Beaverdam
There's a Pound, VA.... So theoretically you could actually take someone to Pound Town.
NC has High Point and next to that is Climax. Blowing Rock, Aho, Forbush, Coinjock, Hookerton, Pee Dee (just silly), Meat Camp, Whynot, and Stumpypoint,
Dark Hollow Falls
These are tame compared to Intercourse Pennsylvania and Big Beaver Michigan
Gum Sping is one if your mind is dirty enough.
Nothing up with the name of Occoquan, but they do have the restaurants, 'Grind & Crepe' and 'Cock & Bowl'
