They cant call their house this?

[Serin]

I have just been to visit my Aunt and Uncle, both early 80s, very quiet living couple.
They live in a culture de sac of other retired folks.
They have put up a sign on the gatepost at the end of their drive.
They proudly made it themselves.
The house is now named "Belle End"
Do I tell them??

[Serin]

Tut, cul de sac

[mumofBeth]

Brilliant!!! Oh you can't tell them though, they might know and be having a wee chuckle to themselves!!

[Hotseat]

I would think they already know. It's tongue in cheek.

[SquareAsABlock]

Yes tell them. Before this one ends up in the shit rags like the Mail or similar and they end up reading it elsewhere.

[Lipz]

Lol do they know what it means ? I'd have to tell them.

[chatnicknameyousuggested]

My BIL has a friend who called his house Dunshitting.

[Serin]

Noooo!
They couldn't possibly know?
He is a lay minister in their local church and she is president of the WI

[Cupoftea391]

He he! Love this

[Sparklesocks]

Sounds perfect

[mumofBeth]

How on earth would you explain it to them though???

[DrinkFeckArseGirls]

If it supposed to be French (ignoring the word “end” ), then it should be End Belle.

[QuestionableMouse]

Show them the page on urban dictionary of course 😂

[riotlady]

Hahahahaha, I think they probably know and just have a dodgy sense of humour

[Laiste]

Where does the 'Belle' bit come from? Is it a name in the family? If not i'd assume they know very well what it means and it's their joke.

[Justcallmebebes]

Brilliant. I know a Judge whose house is called Little Butt. His kids were mortified by it as they grew older. I want to live in a culture de sac tho!

[lottiegarbanzo]

What makes you think they don't know? Does older age erase former knowledge?

[DontCallMeShitley]

Kind of negates the Culture de Sac. Would like to live in one of those .

[memberofseven]

My dad is 80. He would know exactly what it means!

[theweebleshavelanded]

nooooo don`t tell them!

[Serin]

The Belle comes from the street name, think along the lines of "Bella vista Ave" and they are at the end of it.

[LeggyLinda]

I’m convinced they knew what they were doing. And it is hilarious.

[WizzyBee]

Back in the 50s my african grandparents called their house 'Kidonapo'.
Sounds sort of exotic until you realise it was actually 'Kid on a po'. It was entirely deliberate!

[Roussette]

Serin That is hilarious! I can imagine they don't know, given their ages.

My dear old Mum long departed used the very wrong word .... hard to explain, but if they were going on a long journey somewhere she would say something like...
"We have to leave early to go and see Beryl and John, it's such a wank down to Devon at our age"

I left her to it... not easy to explain

[Serin]

lottiegarbanzo No of course old age doesn't erase former knowledge, but they are so straight laced I cant imagine they would use it if they knew the meaning.
I keep wondering if the have registered it with the post office!

[lottiegarbanzo]

This reminds me of an acquaintance who believed it impossible that their 60+ neighbour could possibly recognise the cannabis plants he was growing in his garden, because... they were 'old'.

They were baby boomers FFS, probably stoned throughout the 1960s!
