QuoteIs it true that Stoneybatter, with its amount of pubs, gave rise to the phrase 'on the batter'; or just an urban myth?
Already mentioned, but Termonfeckin and Hackballscross are my personal favourites.
My in laws live in Muff. The first petrol station is famous.... Top Muff....
As Irishmen we dilute our sense of nation by depending on the English to bring us our balls

The most stolen place name sign. Even got its own redirect!
W@nk and Hell are in Germany.
List of funny place names on Wikipedia - includes Kilkenny! Some of them - in paricular Anus Muncher, Ontario - appear to be puerile insertions though.
Kill Lane and Kill Avenue are roads very near me - never found them funny until someone pointed it out recently. There's also Kill Of The Grange - smoeone painted over the sign with reflective paint one time, so that at night, when your headlights shone, it read "Kill The Gran".
Slightly off topic, but the post box in Dean's Grange was once edited so "Dublin Only" and "All Other Places" became "In Only" and "All Her Places". Childish, I know, but still got a laugh out of it!

There is a house in south Dublin (Clonskeagh i think) called Muff House & its just a residential house.
Where inch is a mile.
I think I should the parachute, because I'm great.
In fact, I think I should get both parachutes, in case one doesn't work.
I live on Kill Avenue and whenever I give my address over the phone for something the person on the other end is stunned by the spelling.

The ONLY foot.ie user with a type of logic named after them!
All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.
Kilcock must have the tourists pi$$ing themselves.
Also, when giving directions to Terryland Park, you got to be careful. Afterall, it is near the Blackbox Theatre on the Dyke Road.
Locals might say "ya go up the Dyke past the Blackbox..."
Nobody knows us, we don't care
Ahh the black box I had to a classics exam in there and it was bloody roasting cos it was June. Also isn't the black box where the local knacker population meet to 'show off' there souped up s**t box cars!
Remember seeing a place called Crazy Corner on a road map of Ireland I think it was in West Meath!
I was with a girl from there, and she threw the javelin. I got some slagging from my mates at the time
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
try doin an exam there at christmas - freezin my bollicks off! Hate the place. Went to see the Frames there too - **** gig. Outspan is a ****.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
