10 Idaho Town Names That Make You Go “Huh?”
When I first moved here, I mispronounced so many town names it was ridiculous. I am sure I still mispronounce a ton and some town names are so strange you can't even believe they are real. Here are some town names that make newbies to the area scratch their heads.
- 1
Slickpoo
Yes, that is a real town name. Did someone step in.... never mind.
- 2
Chubbuck
It is just a strange sounding name. Like a mix of a hiccup and a sneeze.
- 3
Kuna
This is only on the list because so many people pronounce it wrong. Pretend the K is a Q and that's really how it is pronounced.
- 4
Ketchum
I have heard people slip up and call it Ketchup. Now that is funny.
- 5
Weiser
You think you pronounce it "Wiser" but really it is pronounced "weezer"
- 6
Athol
Don't say it too fast or people might think you are insulting them.
- 7
Smelterville
It sounds like you don't want to live there because it stinks.
- 8
Acequia
I still can never pronounce this place right.
- 9
Dickshooter
I hear it was named after a person. That is both an unfortunate name for a man and a town.

Dingle
Hmmm, I wonder how this place got it's name.
