Did they have a gift shop full of trinkets that say things like “there’s a little Dildo in all of us” of something similar? It would be worth the trip just for that lol
The origin of the word “dildo” itself is obscure. It was once used to reference a phallus-shaped pin stuck in the edging of a row boat to act as a pivot for the oar (also known as a “thole pin” or “dole pin”).
It looks like Dildo N.L. is actually a real place and no one knows why it’s called that lol
It’s a cute town, I visited last year.

100%. Honestly it’s mostly just a sleepy fishing town with one. And a good brewery, decent restaurants.
Weed, CA leans into their name with all kinds of gift merchandise like that. Why not Dildo?
“Dildo is for Dildo Lovers” bumper stickers would be flying off the shelf!
My truck driver boyfriend went to Beaver one time and now he has an “I love Beaver” keychain that I love.
The gallery on that page is great
Wikipedia writers turning on the heat 😳
But the people in South Dildo, N.L. know exactly why it is named the way it is 😏
(Yes that one is real too, and as you’d guess it’s south of Dildo)
I have a shirt from their brewery (Dildo brewery) from someone who was there at some point. Definitely real.
