What about the village in Austria called F*cking?
Never play leapfrog with a unicorn!!
Nothing funny about Newbuildings unfortunately - bitter wee place. Great location to get your windows stoned if you're on your way back from a City game (usually with the Police watching and doing nothing to stop it...)Originally Posted by pineapple stu
The genius who named it must have put his creative skills to work a few years later when naming the new bridge over the Foyle, errr - 'The New Bridge'...... !
Steve AFAIK that has happened very rarely in the last 15 years.
Certainly was a problem in the early days.
Never thought about that being a funny one. I guess that's because most of my Mam's side of the family live there.
Other funny ones in Wexford: Horetown, Kilmore, B@stardstown (already got a mention I know) and one that's not funny but got on TV3 news yesterday, Cleariestown, no sorry Cleriestown, no wait that's not it it's Clerestown, ah bugger we'll just spell it different on every signpost sure no one will ever notice...

Has definitely happened a couple of times in recent years as well ORA - as I remember it being in the news.
Might even have been as recently as after the Cup Final last year
Just found this site with a list of rude place names in UK. http://gmaninc.blogspot.com/2005/08/...britain.html00
And finally found where I am gonna feel right at home, Titty Ho, Northamptonshire!

Nah. Time and again they tried to get ahead of our buses, but we just kept whizzing past them and on to the final destination.
Much like the Final itself....Can't get that link to work MM ?

oh sorry
Do you have a link to that English site that would work ? I quite fancy the idea of tracking down some whackily named towns in England
All you had to do was google it!
Here you go- http://gmaninc.blogspot.com/2005/08/...n-britain.html
Do you honestly think anyone would google "gaylord"?!
Mentioned ages ago!
Well excuse me ! I thought searching on the Blogspot site alone for it was enough ingenuity, thank you....
Some corkers in there - though a lot just refer to streets, lanes and 'passages' (snigger..)
They've put Muff down as Northern Ireland, the swines ! I've added a post to correct it - the first on there in 2 years ! Let's breathe life back into the rudest names site....
That reminds me. There's a 'Milkmaid's Passage' in some park in London.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Not a place name, but in the underground in Stuttgart, there was a newsagents called "Yorma's"
There was a barn in Guilford, Connecticut called Insulting Manor.
Try pronouncing this Anglesey village not far from Holyhead: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch!!

That's an interesting one - it's Llanfair (or Llanfair PG), but it got expanded about 100 years ago just to make it the longest place name in Britain. A complete tourist sop of a name.
Ugley in England is mentioned in that link. Remember seeing on Countdown one time that they have a Women's Institute.
I was in a pub there a couple of weeks ago. Can't remember the name of it. If you're coming from Kilmore you turn right off the main road and its on the left. All wooden inside with loads of antiques.
Muireantown is spelled Muirntown on some signposts.and one that's not funny but got on TV3 news yesterday, Cleariestown, no sorry Cleriestown, no wait that's not it it's Clerestown, ah bugger we'll just spell it different on every signpost sure no one will ever notice...
TO TELL THE TRUTH IS REVOLUTIONARY
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.
