Well, I am originally from Dallas, TX and I've moved to Nanaimo, BC on Vancouver Island. We've got some weird street names here, alright. Imagine for a moment, Dingle Bingle Hill Terrace, was too pretencious so they took 'terrace' off the end and called it Dingle Bingle Hill Lane. Yeah, that really helped, especially because the name is longer than the street is. We're also home to: Jinglepot Road, Giggleswick, and Buttertubs. When I was first here and living in downtown Vancouver, I watched the weather report and saw my all time favorite city name for the first time -- Spuzzum!!!!!!!
Vancouver also has Leg-in-Boot Square, and the story is that it was named that because a leg in a boot washed up on shore there in the early 1900's. Residents of the area however have a slightly different name for it whenever goose season comes along. Because of the open grassy areas the Canada geese like to graze there, which is why everyone calls it Leg-in-Poo Square.
How'd I do?
