This post has been inspired by one of the 'games-travelers' of the book 'Tourist will be you!' specifically for nº76 'Traveling in Thong'
The slogan was: 'discover places with peculiar names'
And here my trip-story 🙂
A- Welcome to the 'II annual Congress of global citizen etymological complaints', this year we are lucky to develop our meeting in the ... ahem, curious town of Gorda (USA). By the way very good welcome buffet, right? Chocolate muffin with nutella frosting and dulce de leche, triple cheesburguer with half a kg of bacon, french fries with aioli ... Puff, from here we will go out with a few extra kilos, but at least it has been easier to get here than to Last year's headquarters. Do you remember what a mess to get to No Name (USA)? How difficult it was to ask for directions, it was impossible to find it on the map. But there we fail, those of the organization, in short that I li0.
Here the protagonists are you and your complaints. Where do you come from and why do you want your city to change its name?
G- Hello, I introduce myself I am from Graciosa (Portugal).
A- Alaaa! Come tell us a joke!
G- Exactly why I am here, the jokes do not make me damn funny and I am fed up of the fact that I am really funny just because I come from Graciosa.
A- Hahaha, how fun!
B- I haven't caught him. Anyway, Graciosa doesn't seem like a big problem to me, my town is called Bobo (Nigeria) and I'm sick of everyone thinking that I'm dumb.
A- Ahem, the microphone is upside down, dear.
B- Everything is a matter of smart perspectives, in the antipodes they have listened to me.
Q- That everything is a matter of perspective is relative. If you don't tell me something positive about living in Palo Cagao (Cuba)!
C- That, that! I am also interested in the subject, which I represent the people of Čačak (Serbia) and what a shit to always have to listen to the same comments.
PO- Well don't complain, that at least your town has a certain exoticism with so much 'C' weird, what do we have to say in Poopoo (Hawaii)?
K- I already tell you, I know what you are talking about: I come from Kagar (Germany).
A- Gentlemen a little modesty, I also shit before this meeting but I do not think it appropriate to shout it to the 4 winds! We make a break, that our friend here prepared us a soup of his land. What did you say his name is?
M- Antruejo soup! Do you like it?
P- It is rich, although for my taste a tad too heavy.
C- Yes, and it tastes too much like garlic.
A- And maybe it's a bit old, but not bad at all, huh ?. By the way, you haven't introduced yourself: what is your city?
M- Malcocinado (Spain), gentlemen!
A- Ok, 5 minutes rest for everyone, we need them.
A- Well, we resume the meeting with this boy with brown hair and medium height. Where are you from, majo?
N- I am from Normal (USA) and I do not understand why you complain about the particularities of your cities, I would most like to be able to show off something!
BA- Oh sure, you say that because you are not in our skin! I am from Batman (Turkey) and do not see the pussies that people spend!
A- But it wasn't Gotham City?
G- You will complain your Mr Bat! I come from Guarroman (Spain) and I can't even look at the ass of an aunt who already tells me that I'm a pervert.
E- Ya uncle, I am from Entrepenes (Spain) and do not see the gay tourism and bachelorette parties that has begun to arrive!
Pö- And what do I have to say that I am from Pölla (Austria).
A- You won uncle, you are the pölla!
B- I didn't get it.
A- Anyway, any girl who wants to expose her formal complaints?
Z- Well yes, my town is called Zorra (Canada) and I don't like it.
GO- And mine is called Golfa (Galles) and don't see how many men come out to see us.
PU- I come from Puta (Azerbaijan) so I know what you are talking about!
G- Cool! Then you tell me where your villages are and I organize a getaway with my friends from Guarroman!
A- Guarroman, a little respect that this is a real whore. I remember last year Miss Vagina (Russia), in short always better than that man from Culo Morto (Italy), that was a sad town.
Anyone else who wants to complain?
T- Me! And your complaints seem absurd: I would pay to be from a memorable town, that people remember and make them smile. I come from Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu (New Zealand) and nobody knows how to pronounce the name of my town, we spend a fool on putting it in a sign but not even so!
A- Alaaaa, that's better than the supercalifragilisticoespialidoso of Mary Poppins! How cool!
O- At least when you're at home you know you're at home male! I work as an administrator and when I leave the office I have to go to Oficina (Venezuela), I can never disconnect!
PU- And what do I have to say that I live in Purgatorio (Chile)?
H- Dilettante! I come from Hell (USA), the real hell and you there to fuck by some funny names!
F- Ah, speaking of Fuck I live in Fucking (Austria) and I'm still a virgin, isn't that a bad move of fate?
J- Hey, talking about Fuck, stop Fucking and imitations and come to my house in Fuck (USA). Don't fuck, huh? Don't fuck me, you're a virgin and you're a virgin.
A- A little order! Hell, every year the same story is enough! I resign: go all to La Chingada (Mexico)!
