Brittain's rudest place names

So many of these places are quite lovely. I wonder if there's a connection?

"Brittain" is quite rude.

disappointed that Cock Alley didn't make the cut.

No Lower Piddle? ;_;

there's a diving club in the village called, yes, the Muff Diving Club.

Grope Lane (if only it were a place and not just an alley in Shrewsbury).

"Brittain" is quite rude.

Ooh, errr. Hides head in shame.

No "Wapping" either.

Are you talking about Muff in Northern Ireland? Northern Ireland is not part of Britain, though it is part of the United Kingdom.

I have been advised by one who was there that they have no diving club.

Rude place names near you

Nortthern Ireland is part of Brittainn

no, it's part of the United Kingdom. Britain is an island, so is Ireland.

UK = E + W + S + NI
B = E + W + S
RI = RI

Dick Dale and the Penistones

There's a place called Twatt? You are not pulling out legs?

From the Twatt?

Surely Britain = British Isles, Great Britain = the big island.

Twatt. In Orkney.

Another oft-nicked signpost, and oft-photographed!

Prickwillow! Marvellous.

This list is stunning. I'm moving.

Didn't Grope Lane use to be Gropecunt Lane? There certainly WAS a Gropecunt Lane in London at one point.

Shittlehope!

SHITLINGTON CRAGS!

I voted Cockermouth as:

a) It's about 15/20 miles from where I was born and raised
and
b) The name makes sense: It's located at the mouth of the River Cocker.

Surely Britain = British Isles, Great Britain = the big island.

Britain = shorthand for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

Germany = shorthand for Europe

Britain = shorthand for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

England = shorthand for England and Scotland.

Wales = never heard of it

London = shorthand for Britain

i'm sure i have many "amusing" picture books devoted to this kind of thing.

anyway. bell end. chortle, etc.

Wales = never heard of it

part of England?

ECB = shorthand for England & Wales Cricket Board

Yeah, Henry VIII made Wales part of England at the same time as Berwick-Upon-Tweed.

Ironic that Britain, in inverted commas, has come to be so strongly associated with England *pushes glasses up bridge of nose* when of course the Britons were pushed by the Anglo-Saxon invaders *fiddles with duffle coat toggles* to the extreme west of the British Isles, to far-flung Wales and Cornwall. Indeed, *slight chuckle* one might say the Welsh have greater claim to be called British than anyone else in these Isles of ours.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Yeah, yeah, Britain, England, UK, British Isles... I'd rather talk about Gropecunt Lane (James Morrison, I think you're right)!

(I fantasize that there's an English society comprised of middle aged ladies in floral dresses dedicated to restoring that name to all the streets that have had name changes due to Victorian prudishness and our subsequent fear of female body parts and/or "basic" or "crude" Anglo Saxon words.)

with trinny and horseface following them around telling them to go to topshop

Ha ha.

Can you buy a tin of these in Shitterton?

(No you can't, because the article says there isn't a shop)

it is a shame Brown Willy is a hill.

Quite close to Ugley is Nasty --> newspaper headline "Nasty man marries Ugley woman"

Great and Little Cockswell should be on this list!

I may be the mayor of Shitterton, but I know one thing and that's "I love you"

gangsta andy partridge taking it to the top

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

I woulda voted Tosside

Bitchfield is my fav, although it is among the least rude on here.

No Fingring Ho, no credibility
