Toad Suck, Arkansas
Toad Suck is a small town in Arkansas, supposedly named after the fact that people there used to sit in the tavern, suck on a liquor bottle and swell up like toads. More likely, it’s a crude translation from French, perhaps “eau d’sucre” meaning “sweet water.” Yeah, they should have stuck with the name Sweet Water, probably.
