When I went to England one time. There was a store called "Cockburn". Did every teenager on the bus I was on laugh? Yes. There were even shouts of "I want to go there!" from some of the girls
Hmm... I have never heard of "cocks" and I've lived in Cornwall for 16 years.. how interesting lol. Maybe I will go on an adventure to find it over summer lol??
SHITTERTON! WTF? Haha XD You Brits are some funny people I laughed so hard reading these names.. Hole of Horcum? XDDD More like Horcum Hole err, Haha, no offense to any future or current EC members that live in these fine regions of Britain.
Wow, I've never even heard of these. Imagine telling someone where you live? "34... er... Fanny Avenue"
I've always been very amused by the place in Australia called "Tittybong", but these are even better.
urgh reminds me of studying south america i studied it in school and everyone was laughing at "lake titicaca" and i wasnt amused i switched schools a few weeks later, and they were just about to start the latin american unit, so i had to deal with it again i had to hear "boob shit" at 2 diff schools :icon_sad:
Well this isnt very surprising, everyone knows that alot of the worlds foulest humor comes from europe (the brits are no exception:eusa_naug), still Fingringhoe!:roflmao:
Well, here in Uruguay we have a similar thing with math. sin(θ) is read "seno de theta"... "seno" means "breast" and "theta" sounds the same as "teta" meaning "tit"... so you can imagine.
Considering what "fanny" means here, this is funny. Considering what I've heard it means in the UK, it's freaking hilarious.
I must agree. Now, just know that those places aren't alone. Up in Detroit, there's Big Beaver Avenue, so same idea...
