    Geez Expat,

    You could almost write a story with those whacky names.

    Wetwang had a bad case of Balls Cross, most probably caused by the Breasty Haw giving him the Lickey End. So he said "Bitch Craig, this is Nasty...I'll have to travel to Pisser Clough to get this looked at by a Spunkie Bastard".

    She said "Fulking Hill, what a load of Assloss. Any Twathats could fix your Great Cockup by a Twatt slap on the Buttock. Go over to Slag Hill, just over Pisshill, and go see old doc Cum Hag Wood. He'll fix you up in no time and I'll be screamin' Mingearraidh all night long again".

    A couple of favorites near where I used to live:

    Upton Snodsbury (a deliciously snooty village)

    Little Piddle (A pissy little village almost as snooty)

    Cool!

    I've just come back from Washington, where they have Chuckanut (my son calls it TossaTeste) and Samish Way (appropriately populated with fast-food stores).

    And then, there's the immortal Squalicum.
