Can we get a segment where Connor speaks Welsh, Garnt speaks Thai, and Joey speaks Japanese and no one understands each other but at least we're entertained.
Depends on the level of Japanese, Joey would probably need to use some very archaic and formal Japanese, like Hirohito level of "he is definitely speaking Japanese but this isn't the vernacular of this century". Otherwise Connor and Garnt would probably be able to understand him well enough to break the magic.
Connor and Garnt can understand some Japanese so Joey is gonna have to speak in English but not just any English, Australian English with a full blown Australian accent. No one would be able to understand that.
It’s funny because Welsh is like Japanese where it’s a literal meaning. So a town will be like, “the place near the large cherry tree” or something which is why they are so long
Eh, using LlanfairPG as an example is bad. Iirc it was a publicity stunt to make it really long so they named it after random areas in the place. Most places do follow this rule. For example, "Llan" if it's in a place name it means church. so a place with Llan in it's name is named after the church. LlanfairPG follows the rule. There's also "Aber" which if it's in a place name it means "mouth of" so Abertawe means "mouth of the river Tawe" if you translate it, but in English the place is known as Swansea which has no connection as far as I can see. There's a few more but I can't remember them.
Being Welsh I’m annoyed when people ask me to say Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch and to translate it to English, "St Mary's Church in the Hollow of the White Hazel near a Rapid Whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio near the Red Cave".
There was an autistic kid who got lost on Mount Disappointment and the police had to play Thomas the Tank engine music to try to lure him out Proof: www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=amp.abc.net.au/article/12335618&ved=2ahUKEwizkJjBm-jrAhVbzDgGHdMmDlYQFjALegQIDhAC&usg=AOvVaw0A_557j3yHu8Blwc07CwSj&cf=1
I actually live in Llanfairpwll and as Connor said there's nothing there apart from the James Pringles shop that attracts busloads of tourists all year round. Going back to unsuitable place names - there's a small village in Germany called Wank.

Some funny place names in Sweden are: Krigslida = literally "war vagina" in modern meaning (could also mean war scabbard, or war sheath as those are the original meanings for the word slida) Blåsut = Blow out Ryckepungvägen = Twitchy scrotum road (although, pung is an old word for money pouch, and Rycka is a verb that can mean to snatch, so it probably got it's name from people getting robbed there) Röven = literally "The ass" (I have no idea how this place got it's name o_O) Also once when I was on Google maps, lurking over the US, I found two weird place names close to each other: Dickshooter and China Hat.
@@Mallinaamari Yeah! I just looked it up. From Wikipedia: Helvetestinden (lit. Hell Peak) is a granite mountain peak located near Bunes beach, municipality of Moskenes, in Lofoten, Norway.
In Norway we also have a place called «verdens ende» which means The End of the Word or World End. Its a more local place and we didnt believe our grandma when she told us at first
Chile has some great town names lmao -Salsipuedes “get out if you can” -Calle Larga “Long Street” -Entrepiernas “Between Legs” -Reputo which doesn’t have a direct translation but it’s like re-manwhore -Peor es Nada which is an idiom and it roughly means “worse is nothing” which is like “it’s better than nothing” -Purgatorio “Purgatory” -Los Hoyos “The Holes”
3:38 Remember that the opposite end of the Piccadilly Line is Heathrow Airport. So imagine all these overtired tourists landing in the UK only to hear 'This is the Piccadilly Line to Cockfosters'.
As someone from Australia, some of my favourite place names that I have heard of are Humpybong, Dismal Swamp, Eggs and Bacon Bay, Mount Misery and Mount Mee.
I like 'Seventeen Seventy'. There are also plenty of racist creeks or hills around the country; dozens named with an anagram of ginger, and only some of those have been renamed in light of it being pointed out how racists they are. But I think my favourite is a name a lot of people know but don't think about. Nullarbor sounds like it could come from an Aboriginal language, but it's actually Latin. And if you didn't know before, now that I've pointed it out you might be able to tell what the name means. It means 'no trees', which is a pretty accurate description of the region.
@@OriginalPiMan Wow ive always thought Nullabor was indigenous because it sounds like it is, but now you say it of course its Latin, its literall "null" = no and "abor" = tree.
Apparently there's a place in Victoria called Scented Knob. There's also a place called Bong Bong and the only thing there is a heritage listed church. XD
I need a Connor commentary of Vinland Saga’s depiction of Wales. I don’t know why but I need this. Seriously tho I lowkey wish the producers hired him to VA the Welsh speaking portion when the Vikings and Welsh met, instead of filming it in Japanese.
Yeh, the UK has some funny names for things. xD There's a place called Sandwich. Heck, if you can think of it and it sounds English enough, it's probably the name of an actual place in the UK. Also the fact that Connor was able to say that Welsh towns name so convincingly was impeccable. True Welshmen right there.
@@Leifenguard Sandwiches came from a Georgian Lord called Lord Sandwich who had the radical idea of putting something in between two bits of bread and therefore named it after himself, it sounds daft but it's actually true
ғɪʟʟ 1ɴ ᴛ҉ ʜ3 ʙʟᴀɴᴋs I live really close to Sandwich. There’s another place right next to it called Ham and there’s a sign in between the two towns which says “ham sandwich”
The funniest place I know of near where I am is we have a state park named "Bong." It's pretty normal to me, I knew about it well before I knew what the object was but whenever I have an out of towner with me and we pass the sign it gets a confused glance
I am one of the people living in llanfairPG, and it was hilarious hearing you mention the name. It is a quaint little place, and honestly once you live here, learning the name doesn't take too long.
I actually was there, too. About 5 years ago in March....I froze my butt off...we went around Anglesey. I can highly recommend it during summer :D Now I really want to have a full video of Connor just speaking Welsh
Cthulhu shows up in Wales, finds out people there can finally read his name correctly so he feels welcomed, settles down and becomes just another giant harry Welsh with some tentacles and inter dimensional powers.
Well, there is one kind of funnily named place in Western Australia called “Cockburn”… The “ck” is supposed to be silent but people that live near there generally encourage the pronunciation to be as read
In Argentina we got some weird named towns. One i particularly remember now is "Venado Tuerto", "Venado" being Deer and "Tuerto" is a funny word that means that it lacks one eye and we use it mostly to mock or as a nickname ("El tuerto"). A translation could be "One eyed deer" but it kind of misses the fun in the name.
OMG, the names in Newfoundland are so fantastic!!! There's a song by a band call 'The Arrogant Worms' they're a Canadian comedy band but one of there songs is purely names from Newfoundland "A Night On Dildo"

I lived in Arkansas for a while. There are towns literally named Hooker, Weiner, Bald Knob, Possum Grape, and Goobertown. I don’t know wtf is going on there 😂
The long lake name is probably Lake Webster, also known as Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg, found in Webster, Massachusetts. It means "fishing place at the boundary/neutral zone" or "lake divided by islands". This is sometimes humorously translated as "You fish on your side, I fish on my side and nobody fishes in the middle."
In Texas we have Gun Barrel City as a town. There's Hell Michigan, Nowhere Colorado, Deadhorse AK,Bald knob Arkansas. U.S. has a lotta weird named tiny towns
There's a citty here in Brazil called "Big Dick" and it there's also a video of that "I saw an alian spaceship" in that city (Pau Grande, literally translated to Big Dick)
Single best town name in Australia: Eromanga in Western Queensland. Not a lot of people know it exists, but I'll be damned if it isn't the best unfortunately named place (at least to those who are cultured enough).
In South Africa we don't have too many funny sounding places but since they have different pronunciations its always funny seeing tourists try and say stuff like Draakensberg, Ichanga, Bloemfontien etc etc.
I have been to Banana in Queensland, Australia as I from Queensland the real story is Visitors are always a little baffled by the town’s unusual name, particularly as there isn’t a single banana tree in sight. A dun-coloured bullock is responsible for that. A favourite of local stockmen in the 1860’s, Banana the bullock, so named for his yellowish colouring, would help herd wild cattle into holding yards. When Banana died, the gully was given the name in honour of his feats. A replica of Banana proudly stands in the town, a warm reminder of his legacy to those pioneering days. A key junction point between the Dawson and Leichhardt highways, from Banana travellers can reach all the wonders of the region in next to no time.
Thanks for the story on the town of Banana! I think the boys here got mixed up with Banana and Coffs Harbour, the latter being home to The Big Banana and growers of the fruit/berry
In Austria we had the best town name: "Fucking". Its a tiny tiny town. But tourists kept stealing the town sign so they renamed it to "Fugging", which is closer to the local pronunciation anyway. There also was an area called "Arschlochwinkel" (asshole corner). The reason: In the time of the monarchy someone was ordered to map the whole country and as they came to that area and asked the locals of the names of mountains and valleys there where places that the locales had no name for. Just for fun the locals came up with all kind of rude and funny names and the cartographer accepted them without question. It was renamed some time in the 20th century, though.
"Noone goes there, because nobody can pronounce the Name" In my Head: Someone, who want's to visit that Town and asking a local for the way "Hello Sir/Madam can you please tell me the way to L... Llaaaaa..." *starts to cry* "i can't... i..."... "OK WHAT'S THE WAY BACK TO LIVERPOOL?" 😂
In Chile we have a town call "peor es nada" If we translate it's means better than nothing and that name describe perfectly the town, it's like go to a town in the mediaeval age nothing happens there
in western australia, about 30 minutes south of perth is a town called cockburn. it’s pronounced co-burn but as a child i didn’t quite get the memo and always said cockburn and i love that 👌
I live near Slaughter Beach, Delaware. And Broadkill Beach. When traveling down the highway I know I’m getting close to home when the names start to sound like 80’s horror movies
As far as I know, the main reason why there are places with weird-arse names in the UK is because those names used to not be weird, but the UK is old enough that the meanings of those names changed after the town's name changed. The US, on the other hand, has no excuse for places like Shit Creek.
Joey out here talking like Mt Buggery isn't a real place in Australia. Other delights include Nowhere Else, Useless Loop, Pisspot Creek and Bubble Bubble

Otherwise Connor and Garnt would probably be able to understand him well enough to break the magic.

Plenty of places have names in old language that describe where they are or some prominent feature of them.

"St Mary's Church in the Hollow of the White Hazel near a Rapid Whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio near the Red Cave".

Well German has it too
I may be wrong but I remember that in Australia there is a mountain called Disappointment Mountain, so there's that
There's also lake disappointment

Pertinho de Magé, na baixada fluminense. Garrincha nasceu ali em Big Dick
TFW Llangollen and Llandudno are relatively tame names for towns and villages in your country.
They just seem like normal names to me lmao
Well I mean it makes sense because I live here ofc-
Connor just pronouncing the town name like it's nothing. King!
Single best town name in Australia: Eromanga in Western Queensland.
Not a lot of people know it exists, but I'll be damned if it isn't the best unfortunately named place (at least to those who are cultured enough).
Whenever UK suffers through a nationwide flood, they always focus on on town that freqently pops up: "Cockermouth"
In South Africa we don't have too many funny sounding places but since they have different pronunciations its always funny seeing tourists try and say stuff like Draakensberg, Ichanga, Bloemfontien etc etc.
I've been in Piccione, central italy, wich means pidgeon. We also have La Spezia (the spice) and a LOT of other ridicoulous shit in city names.
There is literally a town in Western Australia called cockburn
I have been to Banana in Queensland, Australia as I from Queensland the real story is
Visitors are always a little baffled by the town’s unusual name, particularly as there isn’t a single banana tree in sight. A dun-coloured bullock is responsible for that.
A favourite of local stockmen in the 1860’s, Banana the bullock, so named for his yellowish colouring, would help herd wild cattle into holding yards. When Banana died, the gully was given the name in honour of his feats.
A replica of Banana proudly stands in the town, a warm reminder of his legacy to those pioneering days.
A key junction point between the Dawson and Leichhardt highways, from Banana travellers can reach all the wonders of the region in next to no time.
Thanks for the story on the town of Banana! I think the boys here got mixed up with Banana and Coffs Harbour, the latter being home to The Big Banana and growers of the fruit/berry
In Austria we had the best town name: "Fucking". Its a tiny tiny town. But tourists kept stealing the town sign so they renamed it to "Fugging", which is closer to the local pronunciation anyway.
There also was an area called "Arschlochwinkel" (asshole corner). The reason: In the time of the monarchy someone was ordered to map the whole country and as they came to that area and asked the locals of the names of mountains and valleys there where places that the locales had no name for. Just for fun the locals came up with all kind of rude and funny names and the cartographer accepted them without question. It was renamed some time in the 20th century, though.
"Noone goes there, because nobody can pronounce the Name"
In my Head: Someone, who want's to visit that Town and asking a local for the way "Hello Sir/Madam can you please tell me the way to L... Llaaaaa..." *starts to cry* "i can't... i..."...
"OK WHAT'S THE WAY BACK TO LIVERPOOL?" 😂

Victorian era stuff.
In Chile we have a town call "peor es nada" If we translate it's means better than nothing and that name describe perfectly the town, it's like go to a town in the mediaeval age nothing happens there
in western australia, about 30 minutes south of perth is a town called cockburn. it’s pronounced co-burn but as a child i didn’t quite get the memo and always said cockburn and i love that 👌
It's conversations like this that make me so happy to be from England and a viewer of this channel. 😂
Since I've been living in Mexico I noticed that they have a place called 'Salsipuedes' which literally means 'getoutifyoucan'
There was a street in the village where I went to school in Wollaston, named "Bell End"
Not a town, but near where I live there’s a state park named after the famous WWII ace Richard Bong. The sign literally says “Bong recreation area”
We didn’t ask for that close-up but we sure needed it 😂😂
There's a lake in the middle of nowhere Ontario called Little Butt Lake, located conveniently right next to Dick Lake.
Reminds me of good old Balzac Alberta
There is a lake with the longest name, Joey! It's in Massachusetts! Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg.
There is a place in Tasmania Australia called "Nowhere Else"
Near Perth in Australia there is a town called Cockburn (apparently pronounced "Co-burn" but i dont know of any other silent "ck"s in English :P)
As someone who spent a whole day learning how to pronounce this place's name during my college days, I am proud.
I guess Joey doesn't know about Iron Knob
If you're gonna visit The Big Banana, you should also visit Lamington National Park and The Big Prawn.
I wonder if they’ve heard of Weed, California
they put the town name in their sports teams' jerseys and it actually fits
There is a place in Portugal called boca do inferno, it means hells mouth or mouth of hell.
I live near Slaughter Beach, Delaware. And Broadkill Beach. When traveling down the highway I know I’m getting close to home when the names start to sound like 80’s horror movies
There’s a town in County Donegal, Ireland called Muff.
It has a diving school.
Muff and Nobber in Ireland are some of my favourite placenames.
As far as I know, the main reason why there are places with weird-arse names in the UK is because those names used to not be weird, but the UK is old enough that the meanings of those names changed after the town's name changed.
The US, on the other hand, has no excuse for places like Shit Creek.
Joey out here talking like Mt Buggery isn't a real place in Australia. Other delights include Nowhere Else, Useless Loop, Pisspot Creek and Bubble Bubble
The comments in this are golden and hilarious.
Australia also has a town called orange that doesn't grow oranges for some reason
There's a suburb in Perth, Western Australia called Cockburn! Although it's pronounced "Coburn"...
Connor: pronounces the town's name perfectly
Me: OmG. Zaddyy
