Thread: Onomatopoeia places.

  1. #1

    Onomatopoeia places.

    Tring!


    Are there any others?

    I am going to Tring! today. I expect I'll bump into its most famous resident: Graham "three yellows" Poll.

    Was he the one they used to call, 'The Thing from Tring', or 'Scholesey's Dad'? If so, I saw hm one in a bar in Weymouth whilst out drinking with Dorset Gooner. True story.

    Bangkok!

    I've always like the sound of Wabash! Indiana.

    Of course, we all know the only UK place name to have an actual exclamation mark, don't we?

    Indeed. It's between Cockermouth and Carlisle - quite close to Egremont.

    But, crucially, it doesn't sound like what it is, so I can't accept it as onomatopaeic.
