Quote - Not really.  Given our heritage, we're fairly basic in our words and descriptions.  Most of the folks who went over to begin the colonies that became the USA were somewhat uptight about that sorta thing, being of Baptist and Puritan backgrounds, so they left that kind of "objectionable" and "offensive" stuff back with us.

The one cspear mentions - If I remember correctly - is named the same as another road in London and (I believe) York.  I'll kill the mystery and tell you.  It's Gropecunt Lane. And yes, it really does mean exactly what it says.  Named for the place prostitutes frequented.  AFAIK, the one in London is now restored to the name but the one in York has another, much more innocuous name. 

Speaking of words and being basic, you do know the origin of "joystick"?  More precisely, why pilots called it that in the first place? 

Final edit:

Butt Hole Road is in the next(ish) town to me.  I could take a photo if you really wanted. :) 

Have a town nearby in upstate NY called Butts Corners.
