Toad Suck, Arkansas, was voted as having the, quote, "most unfortunate" town name in the U.S. in a new poll from genealogy site Findmypast.com that surveyed people across seven English-speaking countries: the U.S.; U.K; Ireland; Canada; Australia; New Zealand; and South Africa. The Yahoo! News blog The Sideshow says that Toad Suck reportedly got its name from a once-popular drinking spot for boaters on the Arkansas River, where nearby residents said of them: "They suck on the bottle 'til they swell up like toads."
