Learn English – Neutral to moderately offensive word for unimportant and uninteresting town

single-word-requests

I'm looking for a short term describing a town which is not important, possibly looked down on by people coming from other places. There is probably nothing interesting to do there, etc. One expression that comes to mind would be shit-hole, but I'm looking for terms which are either neutral or at most moderately offensive.

Best Answer

There are several idioms that come to mind, but they also imply that the town is small:

One-horse town

One-stoplight town

Wide place in the road

Hick town, Hicksville

Jerkwater town

Podunk
