Sheboygan! ...Wisconsin, or otherwise. I just like to say that: Sheboygan! Try it, it's fun. What do you like to say? Here's a cute picture.

Winnemucca.

And I said: "When in Mucca, do as the Muccans do".

Chattahoochee is fun to say too.

I like to say "shoulder." Try it out, I know it's not a town name, but "shoulder" makes wonderful use of the mouth.

For town names, I like Zikhron Ya'aqov, and for rivers, Youghiogheny.

Mucilage. I like to say mucilage.

Chattahoochee sounds vaguely pornographic.

In a couple of songs, it sounds like Jay-Z is saying "shaboy!" what's that all about?

Mention my name in Sheboygan
It’s the greatest little town in the world
Just tell them you’re an old friend of mine
And every door in town will have a big welcome sign
So mention my name in Sheboygan
And if you ever get in a jam
Just mention name, I said mention my name
But please don’t them where I am!

Oconomowoc is awesome because every other letter is an 'o'

I once said this was a stupid street name because it was just four letters repeated over and over again - then the BF pointed out that my name is the same... amanda... boo..

Kinnickinnic

I've only learn how to spell it because the company I work for has a location there and because I used to write restaurant descriptions. Also, Bay View residents are obsessive about having the whole name spelled out, something about no one knowing what KK is.

I also love Wautoma, Coloma, Oconomowoc,and Baraboo (though I hate the city)

Also, Waushara.

Aussies have great place names too. Like Woomera (sp?) and Coonabarrabran. From their aboriginals, like WI placenames from U.S. Native Americans.

"Imannentize the eschaton."
