    Over here that would get you raise eyebrows when you told someone where you lived, and more likely a slap from a fair madden

    If you even tried to name a place like some of those, you would probably get slapped with a lawsuit as well!

    My guess is that places with names like that have been named for quite some time, such as Intercourse, PA and French Lick, IN. I think that if you tried to name a place or road with a name that is suggestive nowadays, you would be met with strong resistance from the do-good censures.

    Would you inquire about the availability of a flat for me on "Busty View"...

    Not Busty View but Busty Lane in a village near me. There's a real old English pub there too!

    Could I throw in one more?

    From Ft. Wayne, IN, next to Johnny Appleseed's grave (yes there really was a Johnny Appleseed--John Chapman). Bordering the park was Harry Balls Drive.

    One may do a double take on this one. When spoken, one gets all kind of scary thoughts.

    In reality--Harry Balls was a former Ft. Wayne, IN mayor.

    Outside of Franklin, NY; there's a street called "Heathen Hill Rd".
    I'll bet that they throw some GREAT parties up there!

    We have a few names like that here in Aus too - names like Iron Knob, Rooty Hill, Long Weenie Creek, Yorkey's Knob, Wantabadgery & my favourite, Numbugga. It's a really cold little place not too far from the town of 'Hell Hole Hate'!!
