Every state has its strange and even lewd-sounding town names, but what are some of the stranger names out there? Do you ever laugh to yourself when coming across the town of Coxsackie, New York? FanMaps posted a map of the United States on their Instagram page detailing the lewdest sounding towns state by state.

The Hudson Valley/Catskills' Town Strangest Name? 

Let's start with just our area. Back in 2016, Thrillist put together a list of each state's weirdest town names, and boy, there sure are some odd ones. So what did Thrillist pick for New York state?

Handsome Eddy.

The hamlet located in the Town of Lumberland near the Pennsylvania border in Sullivan County was the website's pick. To be honest, there isn't really much information available online about the area.

And speaking of other weird names in-state, how about Horseheads, Throop, or Friendship, New York? By the way, if you're curious about what Thrillist picked for neighboring states - Foul Rift, New Jersey; Coupon, Pennsylvania; Satan's Kingdom, Massachusetts (wow); and Mossup, Connecticut.

Now that we've got that straightened out, what is the state's dirtiest sounding town name?

New York's Dirtiest Sounding Town Name

So according to the folks at FanMaps, this is what they've picked:

Butternuts.

Yes, that's the name of the town located in Otsego County in the central part of the state. According to the 2010 census, Butternuts has 1,786 residents and borders the Unadilla River. According to Wikipedia, the name is believed to have come from three butternut trees growing from one stump that originally marked the corner of the townships of what is now New Lisbon, Pittsfield, and Morris. Honestly, compared to some other lewd sounding names in other states, it is not that bad.
