I've had a look at their facebook page and they don't appear to be a bunch of smirking 12 year old boys. Wtf are they thinking? Or is it only me who has the major cringe?

Respect for getting banned from the EDF

Pussey Liquor? I think that's quite funny, I'd go there.

PourquoiTuGachesTaVie · 15/07/2015 18:30

Is liquor pronounced "licker" or "liq-your"? I've heard people say it both ways.

paulapompom · 15/07/2015 18:30

I really laughed

couldoutme · 15/07/2015 18:31

I'm not offended that people might find it funny. Not at all. I'm not offended by the name, either. I just think its stupid and crass and I hope they are a massive flop.

Have they spelt it like that too? I think it's quite clever, if a bit much, but you would have thought that they would have spelt Pussy correctly.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 15/07/2015 18:35

Oh I was thinking Pussey as in oozing puss and gore. Yummy. Pussey liquor Grin

Pussy liquor is quite funny, and I'd definitely go there.

We have one in Brighton called Meat liquor

That'll be liqueur you've heard pronounced two ways. Or illiterates thinking liquor and liqueur are the same thing because they've never heard of the word liquor.

My friend used to go out with a Wayne Kerr Grin

WorktoLive · 15/07/2015 18:43

Someone on that Twitter page describes himself as a 'muesli mixologist' #wanker

Ruledbycatsandkids6 · 15/07/2015 18:44

Thought it was quite funny really. Why offended?

I still giggle at cocktails dirty names.

Sad I know. Grin

Ruledbycatsandkids6 · 15/07/2015 18:46

Gosh I would never hope anyone's business is a massive flop.

That's people's lives and jobs you are talking about here.

It's just a name all be it daft.

To hope a business fails is horrible.

MrsRossPoldark · 15/07/2015 18:50

Can't be as bad as a local deli called "Anus" - there is a tiny ' before the S but no one seems to notice, oddly! The deli is very successful despite / because of the name!

MomentOfWonder · 15/07/2015 18:50

Well I know where I'll be going for my first post-baby proper drink. #not

cocobean2805 · 15/07/2015 18:53

I would genuinely think it was a strip club.

And not somewhere I'd suggest for a nice meal with my mum.

Ruledbycatsandkids6 · 15/07/2015 18:54

Here's a cake business by us called bumble hole cakes!!! That's very successful but really? Can they not see?

eastdulwichnamechanger · 15/07/2015 19:07

That is AWFUL!! And so out of place with the area. Is there really no way a council can challenge a name like this? Its so crude. And not even clever....

The meaning is pretty clear, it has its own urban dictionary entry: www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pussy+liquor

Why on earth would you want to eat in a restaurant named after the fluid a women excretes when aroused? Confused Also, not to be too humourless feminist, but I'm a bit sick of the sexy-reference-to-female-sexuality-to-sell-something unrelated. One thing if it was the funny jokey name of a cocktail, but its a restaurant for crying out loud.

Their facebook page makes it pretty clear they just went for an attention-grabbing name that has no bearing on what they do. And thank you californiaburrito - I think ' run by some fancy public school boy who's still a bit scared to walk down Rye Lane' doesn't sound too far off the mark (and it made me laugh).

'Hello and welcome to the Pussey Liquor page. A lot of you may be wondering what Pussey Liquor is with such a risque name. Well let us tell you it isn't what you may think….PL is a permanent pop-up restaurant on a 4 month kitchen rotation set in the heart of East Dulwich.

Local girl, Chloe Gounder-Forbes, has built a platform for up and coming chefs to devise and lay out their own menus along with establishing a name for themselves. The first group of young talented chefs to collaborate with Pussey Liquor are called Smoke & Salt. Aaron Webster and Remi Williams combined have 10 years experience in fine dining and are ready to share their creations with you.

I think it's a great name?
There are far more things to get worked up about

maddy68 · 15/07/2015 19:27

It's a James Bond name. I'm sure urban dictionary have made something out of it but I only think of James Bond when I see it?

Threesoundslikealot · 15/07/2015 19:28

I'm local. I think it's puerile and crude, and rather a pointless name for a restaurant. And I'm really not a prude but I sincerely hope it's changed its name before I have to explain it to my currently non-reading 4 year old. Tacky.

couldoutme · 15/07/2015 19:30

"There are far more things to get worked up about"

Yes. And your point is what?

I am far more worked up about ISIS, the plight of the Palestinians in Israel, child abuse, the fact the Tories won the GE - I can think of probably 1,000 things I am more worked up about, but atm I am posting about this particular thing.

couldoutme · 15/07/2015 19:32

Maddy.

It is not a James Bond name. The character you are thinking of is Pussy Galore.

Pussy Licker - this is how the name sounds when said out loud. The two are not the same.

vindscreenviper · 15/07/2015 19:33

The James Bond character is Pussy Galore I think, she had a flying circus.

Played by the very beautiful Honor Blackman, yes?
