NTTWT but in Newport South Wales there's a retail park called Spytty pronounced Spitty. Altho the satnav says Sputty ... always makes me laugh.

It was probably originally a corruption of 'ysbyty' - Welsh for hospital.

Doesn't stop it being funny, though

I've always loved Nether Wallop and Jack's Bush. Got far too excited when we got to drive through them both on the same day! I was map reading

Currently not far away from Three Cocks, Powys...

Condom in southwest France
How the hell did I forget that one? Great place for armagnac and a bloody good laugh.

It used to have a bishop. Roman Catholic bishop of Condom. Could not make it up.

I have family in Medicine Hat. It's a very whimsical name.

My friend in Arkansas lives near ToadSuck

Pity Me

DH has been to Yanbu (KSA) for work

I like Knockin, which we drive past on the way to PiL. I've never detoured in, but I really hope that the local shop is called the knockin shop.

There's a place in France called Condom, which amused me greatly in my teens.

love it!

Obergurgl in Austria!

I like Wham and Giggleswick

When I did geography at school we had to learn how to read Ordinance Survey maps. The one we spent most time studying was of mid Sussex and included the very schoolboy-friendly Fulking Hill.

At the top of Scotland there's Dunnet.
On the south coast of England there's Havant.
Always makes me think the two countries are bickering!

I have had the pleasure of sitting on Lord Hereford's Knob on several occasions.

We took a detour just to visit a town called Wank on the German / Austrian border. If you live there then you are a wanker.

There's a Splott in Cardiff.

There is a Willies in France.

I know of two streets called The Butts. Friends lived on both of them. When one of them moved into their house, they named it 'The Iffs'

@powershowerforanhour (awesome name btw) I see your Lord Herefords knob and raise you a Brown willy

I see Brown Willy often.

From the car.
Never been near it or on it.

Grope Cunt Lane in Shrewsbury is a good one!

I live popacatapetl, also Land of Nod is a hamlet in East Yorkshire.

I once heard of somebody from Sale in Cheshire going to live and work in France and they found it hilarious that his passport said (to them): "Place of Birth - Dirty"

There must be more that work the other way - boring everyday British place names that bring endless mirth and merriment to people who speak different languages.

Do Icelandic tourist coaches in the UK deliberately take huge detours to enable their passengers to take photos of themselves holding their noses, wafting their arms and pretending to retch as they stand next to the sign for High Wycombe, because it sounds exactly like the Icelandic phrase "I have just farted" or something???

Got my dog from Pratts Bottom, Kent

There's a Grope Lane in Shrewsbury.

Also Wigwig and Homer in Shropshire, nearish Bridgnorth. Land Of Nod in East Yorks.
