미국 각 주에 실제로 존재하는 조금은 이상하고 음란하기까지 한 지명들;;; 인포그래픽 by Estately.com

우리나라에서도 종종 요상한 지명의 장소가 있어서 화제가 되곤 하죠. 보통은 유머짤 정도로 인터넷 세상을 떠돌아다니며 피식하는 웃음을 주는 정도일 텐데... 역시 요런 건 우리나라만의 일은 아니더라고요. 우리보다 수십 배나 넓은 땅덩어리인 미국에도 공교롭게도(?) 요상하고 심지어 음란하기까지 한 단어를 사용한 지명들이 참 많이도 존재하더라고요.

우리나라 말고 미국에도 있다, 이상하고 조금은 음란하게까지 느껴지는 지명들...

Estately.com이 이런 굳이 미국 각지의 이상한 지명들을 모아놨던데 우리나 그쪽이나 왜 그런 이름을 붙였을지 살짝 궁금해지네요. 장난스러워 보이는 이름들이지만, 그런 이름을 가지게 된 데는 우리가 생각지도 못한 이유가 있을 수 있으니까요. 아무튼 지도에 표시되지 않은 지명도 아래에 정리되어 있으니 호기심 충만하신 분들은 좀 더 살펴 보세요~
