weeyellowbloke Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Off the top of my head you've got Kilmacoo in Wicklow, Ireland and Needless Alley in Birmingham (which to be fair is a bit of a needless alley). Also at work today we had to phone companies at an industrial estate in Penzance ironically called Working-In-Vain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnas Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 "Puta que pariu" means something like Son of a Bitch, and its a neighbourhood in Brazil. :bowdown: God, of all the town/neighbourhood names I've seen, that's the most explicit one. And I don't think there's a similar English equivalent. And after all that's been said...I guess "Cu do Lobo" (Wolf's Ass) is the only one I can remember, but I'm not even sure it really exists. Although I know a city called Sanguedo, which basically means "Blood Bath". Faro is pretty ridiculous, too, knowing what it means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyellowbloke Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Near me as well. Just remembered Gannow, also in Birmingham. It's not rude as such, but just weird and makes me smile when I see a bus heading that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zell Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I've been in the Devil's Arse! As Ramar said, there's a village called Cockenhoe near here. I have a photo of my somewhere by a street sign in the Highlands somewhere. Road's name? Gay Lane Terrace. People always find "Berliner" (as in a person from Berlin) funny, once they find in German, "Berliner" means "doughnut". Personally, I find Essen (a city in Germany) funnier. Why? "Essen" is Germany for "ate". Well, I thought it was funny... Actually, Essen (with a capital letter) means food. And essen (without a capital) means "to eat". So it's still fairly funny anyway, I bet they have some good restaurants. Didn't JFK go to Berlin and in a speech he said "Ich bin ein Berliner"? Made quite a few Germans laugh.

Raining_again Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 There's a place called Trailcock Road in Carrickfergus. xD Always brings up horrific mental images when I come across it in work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Aalborg, we have many more fun place names in Denmark! Not all of them are grammatically correct, but still. "Lem", which means "penis" (albeit a politically correct term) "Tarm", which means "intestine" "Thisted", which means "pee place" when spoken out loud (not the way it's spelled) "Tisvilde", which roughly means "pee wild" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxigen_Waste Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 So at the end of the day I conclude we Portuguese are the ones with the funniest names. Good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have said "Ich bin Berliner", unless he thought he was a tasty snack. No one has mentioned Groupecunt Lane in London yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emasher Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 The old name for the Canadian city Regina was Pile-O-Bones. I once saw a footwear store that was called "Athlete's Foot". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
