The word "nimrod" didn't become an insult until Bugs Bunny used it sarcastically when referring to Elmer Fudd in "A Wild Hare"👈. Few enough people knew the reference (even in 1940) that they assumed it was another word for "idiot".

[@user-wx4rd3bs6f]

Thats Truth or consiquences

[@reesejabs1895]

Nimrod refers to a great hunter, which is what Fudd was playing in that particular cartoon.

[@gwjchris]

Minnesota has a number of oddly named towns such as Starbuck, Embarrass, Climax and Fertile to name a few, but that close proximity of the latter two resulted in a very "interesting" headline in a local paper: Fertile Woman Dies In Climax". It took outsiders to find it hilarious for locals to be Embarrassed, by it.

[@unclemetal8774]

I remember that headline it heard about it in orientation at Bemidji State.

[@reesejabs1895]

There's a Coin, MN and a Crown MN - both CDP's - unincorporated.

Full name Truth or Consequences. Knew about the place for a while, but I read a fantasy novel series that takes place around T or C and Hatch makes me want to visit that part of NM.

[@AbqDez]

@@bakomusha it is a very wonderful place. If you are in southern NM try to time it so you can see the duck racing.

[@reesejabs1895]

Used to be called Hot Springs, NM. That's one of the most common town names in America, so changing it to T or C was a good idea.

Until recent times a part of Spartanburg county SC was known as "Sugar Tit" and it actually once had a US Post Office branch with that as it's official name. I actually bought some stuff from the now-closed Sugar Tit Hardware Store back in the 80's. For those who don't know, a 'sugar tit' was where you put sugar in a scrap of cloth, tied it shut, and gave it to kids to suck on in lieu of candy. The area went from rural to developed and the new residents didn't like the name so they took down any signs using it. At least we still have the community of "Possum Kingdom"!

Bacon Level Alabama may come from the three tiered crates hogs were raised in in Appalachia before WW2. The upper crate contained a hog that would be fed corn. Of the three crates, this is the only one that receives food. The top hog (yes, the term comes from this) would be butchered for tenderloins, chops and non-cured or ground meats. The middle crate, or the "bacon level" contained a hog that would feed on the waste from the hog above it. This hog would be used for cured meats; bacon and ham. The bottom crate contained a hog that would feed on the waste of the middle hog. This hog would be used for sausages and other ground, precooked products. Thank God for the FDA.

[@laurelcosten1012]

Good to hear you mention Abner Weed. He was owner of a lumber business and responsible for growing Weed as a “ company town” where workers and their families lived in company housing. When International Paper bought the lumber business in the 50’s, the housing I believe was mostly sold to the residents in it at the time and the company town was transformed into a real town. I am aware of this because my dad grew up there and graduated high school in 1943 before going into the Marines…..

At 10:46, the host, Erin McCarthy, is talking about the Porcupine Islands (an archipelago of five islands that lie in the Mount Desert Narrows of Frenchman Bay in Bar Harbor, ME), but the graphic (No. 32) is titled "Porcupine Islands, Michigan. There is a Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park in Michigan, so perhaps that is where the error was made in the graphics. (The image displayed is correct for Porcupine Islands, Maine.)

[@TheHobbit2011]

Also the porcupine islands aren't a town, and are all uninhabited. They could have gone with Friendship, Unity, Liberty, Freedom, Union, Hope (which are all near each other). Or the Cranberry Islands which have towns...well, one town on two islands technically.

[@R.M.MacFru]

Place names near where I grew up in Indiana: Bono, Buddha, Gooseneck, Devil's Backbone and the well known hometown of Larry Bird, French Lick. I grew up in a town called Medora, which I personally believe is just a nonsense word but the lore is that it's a play on Do-Re-Mi, like the music scale, and the unofficial motto is "The Town of Harmony". There is also a sister city with the same name in North Dakota and I have no idea how that happened.

The origin of the word “hell” is not nearly as ghoulish as we think. The term was merely an adjective to describe how intense a metaphorical fire was. A hell fire just meant a bright fire. Taken without that context, hell just meant bright, and generally had positive connotations.
