Highlandman BS: Strange/funny/odd names of towns/cities (118* d) RE: BS: Strange/funny/odd names of towns/cities 27 Jul 05


Sugar Tit, SC
unincorporated, just a crossroads with a country store about 3 miles from where I sit, but well known to the locals.
The folklore behind it:
In times past, a "sugar tit" was a cotton sock with a lump of butter and sugar tied into the end, given to a small child to suck on as they toddled around, to keep it happy. The men of the community would habitually gather at the store to play checkers and b.s. each other, which activity the women disparaged as "goin' down to get their sugar tit."
Honest.
As far as I know no one has immortalized Sugar Tit in song. Yet. :-)
