Popocatépetl is the best. There’s even a song about it. m.youtube.com/watch?v=eS8JF8e9Boo

As well as the famous Twatt of Shetland, there is a watercourse in southern Scotland showing on maps as Burn of Twatt. There is also a Lucky Slap somewhere near Dundee.

Balls Road; my DH had his vasectomy in the clinic there. Oh how we (I) laughed.

I used to live next to a place called 'Cock Alley'

To get to work my husband drives down Lady Lane which makes him chuckle like a 14 yo school boy despite being 53

Willey village on the Warks/ Leics border. The Willey festival is very popular in the summer. Can be sweaty.

Screw Park is by Mount Pleasant near Beccles in Suffolk...

There is a place called Dull in Scotland, which has twinned itself with a town in USA called Boring!

Oh I love this Grin

Where I love there's a small road called "Back Passage" which always made the dc giggle.

In Cardiff there is still a road near the docks called Womanby Street which apparently reflects its historic use for the oldest profession.

I always have a smile when I drive past the road signs on the A303 to the various Wallop villages.

raspberrymolakoff · 11/01/2020 00:07

No where I live.... though love would have a different meaning...

Twernip · 11/01/2020 00:11

There's a Cock Play in Northumberland, which makes me smile. Also, Wingletang Down and Izzicumpucca, both on the Scilly Isles! Grin

TooManyPaws · 11/01/2020 00:30

Tough in Aberdeenshire, which meant that the village school had a sign saying Tough School.

AlexaAmbidextra · 11/01/2020 00:33

Not there nowadays but in Tudor London there was a Gropecunt Lane. Named after the activities that took place there. 😄

thesunhasgothishatontoday · 11/01/2020 00:39

Muff in Ireland. The pub is called The Muff Inn and they have a local scuba diving club 😂

There is a pub in the midlands called The Black Boy, and another in Bristol,I think.
