This week's silliest Scandinavian towns

Fjuckby380_105273038

There is a quaint little town in Denmark whose name always make the Swedes and the Norwegians snigger:  Bøgballe.  Why?  Because if you translate it, it means Gay Balls.

Sweden is not without its own funky towns, however:  Fancy a trip to Fjuckby this summer, perhaps?  Or how about a day trip to Rövhålet, which literally translated means "Butthole"?

Outside Gothenburg one can enjoy a swim in any of the Yellow, Small or Big Arse lakes (Gula Röven, Lilla Röven, Stora Röven).

In Norway, you can visit the town of Hell - and in Denmark you can enjoy a sunny day in Middelfart.

I've been to Middlefart - and the Little Belt bridge. Nice place...

I've also been to Hell - just north of Trondheim. It was raining heavily and I posted all my soggy postcards from there - postcards from hell sounds cool.

All my friends and family laugh at the name of my Norwegian village called Båstad, because they think it sounds like 'bastard' when they try to pronounce it :D

Sweden has some good names too;

What about:
Rövhålet (the Asshole)
Djupröven (Deep Ass)
Kattstjärten (Cats Bottom)
Sex Träsk (Sex Swamp)
Bögs Gård (Gay's Farm)
Pissholmen (Piss Islet)
Snormossen (Snot Bog)

Or why not have a swim in one of the following lakes:
Gula Röven, Lilla Röven or Stora Röven (Yellow, Small or Big Arse Lake).
Köttsjön (Meat Lake)
Rumpsjön (Bottom Lake)

Loving it! Lol.
