My truck broke down on Bucksnort Road in Georga, USA. The road is in a sparsly occupied region. The people were not all that friendly.
Liverpool has to one of the ugliest pace names I’ve ever heard.
East Grinstead - just try saying it, it’s like you’ve got something bitter in your mouth.
Again—no love for Algonquian names. In this case, both Lenape. Well, at least nobody hates the sound of the name Wyoming, so Lenape aren’t totally batting zero so far.
Punxsutawney (Lenape Punkwsutenay) means sandfly town or mosquito town. It was a warning to anyone who went there. White people ignored the warning and built a town there. And got bug-bitten a lot. The word for sandfly derives from the word for dust, with the animate diminutive suffix. The Lenape word for dust is punkw, which is the source of the English word punk. The word had to go through a long semantic journey to get from dry-rotten wood dust to Johnny Rotten.
But Conshohocken has a nice meaning: Lenape Kanshihakink means ‘in the elegant land’.
San Diego

Laid is literally ugly. It’s the French word that means ‘ugly’.
