i't like beatboxing if you say it a few times

YABU, the best place name is Muff in Donegal.

Is there a lake there?

Slack Bottom, Yorkshire.

@GrumpyMiddleAgedWoman you forgot Six Mike Bottom and Ugley (they have a WI by the way....)

I live quite near Gotham.

I also love quite near Bunny.

I like Fangfoss too which has the lovely charm of being near wetwang

DSis and I got DF a map of Britain with all the rude place names noted. It's brilliant! He loved it, as did the guy who framed it 😁

There is a hamlet near me in Co Durham England called Snows green

There And Back Again Lane in Bristol is the best.

Perhaps not the best but there’s a tiny hamlet in Somerset called Nimlet and that’s definitely the cutest. Makes me smile every time I see the sign.

I've been to Hell, in Norway, you pass it on the way to Trondheim from the airport.

Also been to Intercourse and Bird In Hand Pennsylvania, both are in Amish Country.

Bill Bryson often writes about place names in his books and there are some great ones. I always remember the story about the city in New Mexico which changed its name to Truth or Consequences to win a radio show contest

There’s a great list here...

Kunst Wet

Also Nether Wallop is worth a drive through.

And I know Americans think Dorking is hilarious

Cockle Dicks Lane is near me

Wankum in Germany

Got to appreciate the classic intersection of Ham and Sandwich (which routinely gets its sign stolen!).

As does Chipshop, in Devon.
I once drove through Chipshop looking for the Chipshop ...
My personal faves are Thorngumbald (Lincolnshire) and Wigwig (Shropshire).

I used to live in a village that had a lane going into the village called Slash Lane and one going out at the other side called Flesh Hovel Lane. The village was perfectly nice, I promise!

I spent some of my childhood in Outer Sheep's Bottom.

I'm outed for sure now!🤐
