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:

  1. Cocks, Cornwall
  2. Minge Lane, Upton-upon-Severn, Worcestershire, England
  3. Bell End, Worcestershire, England
  4. Twatt, Shetland (note, there is another Twatt in Orkney)
  5. Sandy Balls, a long-established holiday centre in New Forest, Hampshire, England with a name dating back to Henry VIII
  6. Fingringhoe, Essex, England
  7. Back Passage, City of London, an alleyway in the EC1 postal district
  8. Shitterton, Dorset, England
  9. Slag Lane, Merseyside, a residential street in Haydock, England
  10. Hole of Horcum, North York Moors, England
  11. Fanny Hands Lane, Lincolnshire, England
  12. Inchinnan Drive, Renfrewshire, Scotland
  13. Cockshoot Close, Oxfordshire, England
  14. Funbag Drive, Watford, England
  15. Fanny Avenue, Derbyshire, England
  16. Beaver Close, Surrey, England
  17. Dick Court, Lanarkshire, Scotland
  18. Felch Square, Powys, Wales
  19. Lickfold, West Sussex, England
  20. Rimswell, East Riding of Yorkshire, England
  21. Spanker Lane, Nether Heage, Derbyshire
  22. Cocknmouth Close, West End, Surrey
  23. Friars' Entry, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England
  24. Butt Hole Road, Conisbrough, South Yorkshire
  25. Cockermouth, Allerdale, Cumbria
  26. Fine Bush Lane, Ruislip
  27. Ladygate Lane, Ruislip
  28. Hornyold Road, Malvern, Worcestershire, England
  29. Crotch Crescent, Marston, Oxford, England
  30. Cumming Court, Pitville, Gloucestershire, England

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).

Theres also the River Piddle, way down in Dorest. Plus the p**hing gargoyle at Aswarby Church in Lincolnshire.

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.

You guys seemed to be obsessing over the Kama Sutra when you named a lot of those street names.

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. :)

Oh no! It will be more earth shattering than that!

Unlike the road name I posted, the vast majority of 'em will have perfectly innocent origins, "butt", for example, being a barrel and a unit of measure.

Penistone is between Sheffield and Barnsley, so not too far from here.  The CBers (remember them?) called it Genital City. :)  BTW, it's pronounced Penny-Ston.  Just so you don't make a numpty of yourself if you visit.
