Arkansas has towns with names like Booger Hollow, Flippin, Hogeye, Greasy Corner, and Yellville. And we mustn’t forget Toad Suck. And Ink (Here’s a quote: Local tradition says that a Polk County school teacher sent out notes to patrons requesting possible names for their new post office. Fearing penciled entries might be difficult to read, she requested that they please "write in ink." Many did...and Ink was the winner).
