They cant call their house this?

[Serin]

I have just been to visit my Aunt and Uncle, both early 80s, very quiet living couple.
They live in a culture de sac of other retired folks.
They have put up a sign on the gatepost at the end of their drive.
They proudly made it themselves.
The house is now named "Belle End"
Do I tell them??

Tut, cul de sac

Brilliant!!! Oh you can't tell them though, they might know and be having a wee chuckle to themselves!!

I would think they already know. It's tongue in cheek.

Yes tell them. Before this one ends up in the shit rags like the Mail or similar and they end up reading it elsewhere.

Lol do they know what it means ? I'd have to tell them.

My BIL has a friend who called his house Dunshitting.

Noooo!
They couldn't possibly know?
He is a lay minister in their local church and she is president of the WI

He he! Love this

Sounds perfect

How on earth would you explain it to them though???

If it supposed to be French (ignoring the word “end” ), then it should be End Belle.

Show them the page on urban dictionary of course 😂

Hahahahaha, I think they probably know and just have a dodgy sense of humour

Where does the 'Belle' bit come from? Is it a name in the family? If not i'd assume they know very well what it means and it's their joke.

Brilliant. I know a Judge whose house is called Little Butt. His kids were mortified by it as they grew older. I want to live in a culture de sac tho!

What makes you think they don't know? Does older age erase former knowledge?

Kind of negates the Culture de Sac. Would like to live in one of those .

My dad is 80. He would know exactly what it means!

nooooo don`t tell them!

The Belle comes from the street name, think along the lines of "Bella vista Ave" and they are at the end of it.

I’m convinced they knew what they were doing. And it is hilarious.

Back in the 50s my african grandparents called their house 'Kidonapo'.
Sounds sort of exotic until you realise it was actually 'Kid on a po'. It was entirely deliberate!

Serin That is hilarious! I can imagine they don't know, given their ages.

My dear old Mum long departed used the very wrong word .... hard to explain, but if they were going on a long journey somewhere she would say something like...
"We have to leave early to go and see Beryl and John, it's such a wank down to Devon at our age"

I left her to it... not easy to explain

lottiegarbanzo No of course old age doesn't erase former knowledge, but they are so straight laced I cant imagine they would use it if they knew the meaning.
I keep wondering if the have registered it with the post office!

This reminds me of an acquaintance who believed it impossible that their 60+ neighbour could possibly recognise the cannabis plants he was growing in his garden, because... they were 'old'.

They were baby boomers FFS, probably stoned throughout the 1960s!
