The Brits have some interesting road and town names.
I'm still trying to pick what street I want to live on. Happy Bottom?

I suspect I would fit right in at Bitchfield.
There are hundreds, I like The Devils Arse but don't think I'd like to live in Loose Bottom 🤣
Our local landfill is located on Mordor Road.
The Brits have some funny words. But don't say fanny to them. Oh my boss was new here and we were all going to a conference in Vegas. A man in our group said, "well I have to get my fanny pack." My boss flipped out. Who knew "fanny" meant something else in the UK? the language is English but far different from American English.
Sue - Own what's yours!
CC - No Loose Bottom for me either. Most of Europe has some interesting names.
Bill - The road to oblivion.
Peg - I found this... " "Buttocks," 1920, American English, from earlier British meaning "vulva" (1879), perhaps from the name of John Cleland's heroine in the scandalous novel "Fanny Hill or Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure" (1748).
My sister worked in an office with several Brits. One morning she was upset about an order that got messed up and was visibly unhappy. One of the Brits, seeing her in a depressed mood walked by her cubicle and said, "Keep your pecker up, Grace." My sister was shocked and then angry until she learned that meant, "Keep your spirits up even when it's difficult to do so." in Britspeak.
Also, "Slutshole Lane" is a winnah!
Shaw - Ha! Insinuating your sister had a pecker.
I found this... "The pecker is generally thought of as the mouth, although the earliest known use of the word in this phrase clearly alludes to the nose. The imagery is of a bird that pecks for food. That citation is from The Times, September 1845."
Only a little off topic, but have you ever been to Uranus out Interstate 44 past Rolla? The whole place is based on double entendres.
Kathy - Maybe off the continent we're talking about but right on subject. And I was wondering what to post about tomorrow. I think I'll post about Uranus.
The one in the top middle is from Orkney. I have passed that many times but never thought to take a picture of myself as the Twatt. His Lordship cometh from Orkney on Tuesdays.
Lady - Could there be a picture of an honorary Twatter coming soon?
Twatt is also a surname in Orkney. For obvious reasons if they move to live south (Scotland and England) the t T is dropped.
Richard - Why does everyone know about Twatt?
I once lived on Goochland VA, located in Licking Hole township.
Bruce - Did Licking Hole have any "traditions" that needed to be upheld?
