The UK is full of strange place names. Here's a few from The Daily Telegraph (a supposedly serious national paper), some of which may lose their meaning when crossing the Atlantic - in which case, Google at your own risk:
- Cocks, Cornwall

They don't mention that Magpie Lane in Oxford was not always known as "Magpie Lane". It was called something very rude indeed. Read the history section, and be aware that its former name may offend modern sensibilities.
Over the years I've convinced many people that there's a hill called Hucking Fell, but it's not true. There is, however, one called Great Cockup in Cumbtia (northern England).
