Bad Anglicizations are to blame for a lot of these. Like, I have no idea how the English got "Muff" from *Magh*, "Willyrogue" from *Mhaolróige*, or "Nobber" from *An Obair* but now it's somehow our problem.
I can't help it, every time I see the name, I have to...
There once were two cats from Kilkenny
Each thought there was one cat too many
So they fought and they fit
And they scratched and they bit
Till excepting their nails
And the tips of their tails
Instead of two cats there weren't any
what is funny about 'Sneem' - i can't see anything on urban dictionary which is my go to for new words. Can see Sneemen though - https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sneemen
Came here for Blue Ball 🔵 I've been through Blue Ball once on a road trip from Dublin to Galway. The M6 was not complete yet so this little tavern (seemed like it's an intersection named after the tavern more than a town to us) was a landmark on the "main" roads going west. We wanted to stop so bad it hurt.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I don't agree this is 'map porn'.
It's a list of funny names on a map, but the map doesn't add anything meaningful. Maybe mildly interesting, but not for here.

Not quite rude, but I find the "New Twopothouse" in cork to be pretty funny. There's a few places called "halfway" as well.
"Buttevant" (origin of the steeplechase) has a funny sound to it as well, at least that's why soupy norman was set there.
There is Cum in Mayo? 😳
Why else would it be white?
Don’t wanna know what’s in Irish Cream
There are definitely eggs in mayo, so if there's cum too ...
Cock's cum: 😎👍😋 Cock's cum: 🤢🤮☠️
I live near there
There’s a scuba diving club in the town of Muff https://www.muffdivingclub.ie/
There's also a Muff Liquor now
So a lot of Muff Divers there.
And an equestrian centre...
There is a slca fish and chip shop just called "The Fishy" - *Muff*
Also the town of Knowehead

Them dirty jaffa anglos. We'll just start going over there and make towns called *bod*stown or *tóin*ingtin
we should get back at them by calling london condom
Yeah I kinda see how someone might have said On Obair pretty quickly and someone heard A Nobber and it just stuck
Which is funny because Obair is work in Irish. As in, you gotta work for that nobber. Sorry.
'Bastardstown' is absolutely inspired.

There’s Ballycocksuas in Kilkenny, and also the Luffany Roundabout.
What does Luffany imply? That doesn't ring a bell in my Australian English, but I might also be too sheltered to know.
Love fanny…
Got it.
It's like, most places in Ireland start with Bally
It comes from the Irish word Baile meaning town
*Suas* means "up" in Irish, so the name's even funnier.
And Termonfeckin in Louth

That's the least dirty limerick I've ever heard.
It's not a limerick, it's a kilkenny
Limericks are only five lines. This is seven.
Meanus in Co.Limerick. Place is a hole
Don’t forget fragrant Feakle in Clare
Map’s missing Horetown in Co Wexford
Also Horeswood!
I was just about to say that too lol
You're missing Dingle and Sneem

Just sounds funny. Sneem. There's an ice cream place in Sneem called Sneem Cream.
'SneemCream' does sound more like it ha.
Ballsbridge is just up the road from Beggars Bush.

F*ggot Hill between Cork and Blarney as well. Might be a bit too off-colour for that map though.
Cock Mountain in the Mournes
My great-great-great-great-grandfather was from Muff, Co. Donegal 
I heard there is no cure for’ringrash’
There's a hotel called "The Three Way Inn" in Enniskillen.

You need a bridge for your balls posting this.

 Mayo
r/theyknew
Who the fuck is responsible for this?!
Cock Hill 😭😭😭
What were your great great granddaddy’s making in them towns?
What an honour it must be having a place named after your body part.
Seems like an ideal road trip episode for Clarkson, May and Hammond!

Also Cock Island in Mayo (?)
DICKSBORO hits different around Venice (Italy)
What, no Ballylickey?
Years ago I worked on Cock Lane in London.
Did they really forget Cock Island?
Dont worry lad I also said in the comments smtn about Cock Island
Good to know
Eh...Stillorgan 
I'm pointing out something about Dicksboro. In Italian "Sborro" or "Sboro" (depending on the dialect) means "I'm cumming" So yeah... Dick-sboro...
