These Nicknames for NE Iowa Cities Are… Interesting
So I was cruising Reddit as I often do and I came across a funny or, maybe strange is the right word, category within the r/Iowa Reddit. Funny city nicknames. Some were relevant to whatever the city has to offer. Some were just play on words... a couple are legit funny. Others, offensive and crass. I'll share some of the more PG, maybe PG-13 ones here and you can vote on which are worthy and which are... Not so worthy. Bear in mind, some of these writers could be 12.
Cedar Falls - Cedar Fails
Charles City - Chuck Town or Upchuck City
Clarksville - Clarkansas
Evansdale - Evansfail (Do I sense a theme?)
Des Moines - Dead Moines (Not in Northeast Iowa but, it is our capital so it makes the list)
Denver - Dumbver or The Mile Wide
Dubuque - Don't Puke (Not exactly in the area but, made me laugh what with the river smells and all)
Fort Dodge - Dirty Dodge
Janesville - J-Ville
Hudson - Mudson
Nashua - Trashua
Oelwein - Old-wein
Readlyn - Breedlyn
Tripoli - T-town
Waterloo - Waterpoo (this one made me snicker cuz I'm 9)
Are there any Reddit missed?
