French Mumsnet made me snigger like a loon

[Saggingninja]

I've just spent a few weeks in Mirepoix in France. On the way we drove through a town called Fanjeaux. My boyf and DD couldn't understand why I kept sniggering . . .

I've got a picture somewhere of a road sign to Fanjeaux. DH wasn't best pleased I made him stop!

Sorry, too ignorant to understand the joke. Can you explain?

Fanjeaux is pronunced 'fanjo'.

‘Fanjo’ is (twee) MN speak for vulva

Every year we drive past a sign to 'Pussy' in the French Alps 😂 🐈 DH's favourite village!

Is it anywhere near Condom?

Walkingthedog46 actually Condom is roughly in the same area of the Pyrenees as Fanjeaux!

England is just as bad. There was at least one Gropecunt Lane in London, since changed to 'Grape Lane' in the sixteenth century.

Cannot keep a straight face when french actrine Fanny Ardent pops up

And yes, I know that actrine is not a real word. QF taking the piss out of French Things.

I am now enlightened. Thank you.

It's not in France but for sheer snigger worthiness it's hard to beat Wank in Austria.

In German speaking countries generally people from a town are called after the town name plus the "er" ending so people from Berlin are called Berliners and you can guess what people from Wank are called.

Dildo, Dildo Island, Dildo Arm, South Dildo. All in Newfoundland.

I have a Verginas St near me, obviously not pronounced Vaginas in the native language but it regularly pops up on Facebook.

I saw a sign on the way to a French city which read SCAM builders.

There's a town called Fucking in Austria.

Austrian football team Young Boys FC (sic) play in Wankdorf. The stadium is located just off Winkelriedstrasse.

As one pundit said before a big game, "Young Boys don't keep clean sheets."

Cocks in Cornwall seems to have changed it's name to Cox, I'm presuming as the signs kept getting stolen.

Most, but not all, of the Dorset -piddle villages are now -puddles.

I’ve just been to Shetland where there is a village called Twatt 😅

Like all French exchange students in the UK my family and I always snigger when we walk past a Zizi (willy)

I've been going to Austria every year for over ten years. I've never seen or been to Wank or Fucking. I feel like I've missed out now kuntz seems to come up, a surname I think

Wank is in Germany. It's in Garmisch-Partenkirchen - I went up the Wank before Christmas and have some goofy photos of DH stood next to a sign that says "I love Wank", where he's pulling a post coital face.

Punchardon in Devon makes me snigger.

There is a bus company in Nuremberg called Vag, it’s written in large letters on the side of all their buses and some bus stops

I'm very surprised Wetwang in Yorkshire hasn't been mentioned yet! I love rude place names.

I give you Shitterton in Devon.
