What towns have verbs for names?
I was thinking about Gallup, for some reason, and wondered (in my own confused way) if there are other towns out there with verbs for names?

hmmm.

12. Last year I went to Newfoundland, Canada
and ended up in places like, Come By Chance, Conception Bay and Dildo.

Great names and great people. Everyone should visit "The Rock" at least once in a lifetime.

17. fishkill, NY
Though of course kill actually means "stream" or "river", but it could work as a verb . . .
