Slapout, Oklahoma is a intersection with a gas station and 4 way stop.
It started as a road side grocery store made from a converted chicken coup when they put the highway thru in 1905. It is in the sparsely populated area in the panhandle of Oklahom, and was originally called Nye, OK. A tornado knocked the Nye sign down and wasn't replaced. People including the owner's daughter called it slapout because the store was always "slapout" of what they wanted. Slapout stuck as the official name.
