    Butt is just a name in England. I know more than a few Englishmen with that last name and it never gets a snicker over there. Now, if their last name was "Arse" it'd be a different story.

    Where's "West Breast"? Why is East Breast in western Scotland?

    East Breast is in Western Scotland because that is as close as they could get it to all the silly tits in the USA!

    I found a nice list.

    In northwestern Minnesota we have two small towns about 20 miles apart, "Fertile" and "Climax". I don't remember if it was true or a local urban legend that one of their newpapers reporting on a traffic accident once proclaimed: "Fertile Woman Dies in Climax".

    If true it's one of the best headlines ever... but what editor would let that go to print. Maybe one who was getting binned and knew it.

    Paddy, that's a brilliant list mate. You've even exceeded your own high standards. Too bad you couldn't find a C**test, since you got the other two. In Oz is fanny synonymous with arse or the front bits? That one creates a bit of hilarious confusion between the States and the UK, I'm curious if it does the same in Oz.

    My GF thought that this street name in Queenstown, NZ was amusing.

    I have used a couple of these names over in the Geography Game thread (including Athol, which is a town in Massachusetts). Twatt in the UK is one of my favorites.

    But there were many on patsparks' list I had never seen. Thanks for posting!

    The New York Times article mentioned it, but didn't provide pictures:

    Yeah, I have a friend named John Thomas. Americans think nothing of it but when he introduces himself to somebody from across the pond it gets a little awkward :blush:

    Michigan has a Climax and a Hell, so you can go from Climax to Hell.

    That's great. So maybe you might have 'Fertile woman dies in Climax, interred in Hell'
