Oh, you Brits...you amuse me!

Here's an article from the New York Times. What town are you from again, GreenSkull?

No, I could never live in a town whose entire population is comprised of convicted male pedophiles. I'll bet that you're the Mayor!

We have a road here in Finland, officially named "Paska-avenue".
It`s "Shit-avenue" in english.

Then there`s a hill called "Matakivenmaki", It`s "Hill of rotten stone".

"Turkhauta" means "Furgrave"

"Tissinpohja" means "Tit`s gulf"

"Keskimulkku" means "Middle cock"

"Takapajula" means "Periferia"

"Poljanmetsa" means "Idiot`s forest"

"Paskasaaret" means "Shit-islands"

...just a few to mention, weirdest ones are impossible to translate, we have a lot of very freaky names for lakes, villages, roads etc.

Many years ago, I saw a very small street in either New Mexico or Arizona, which led to a junk yard and the local garbage dump. It was named 'Vista de Oro'. In Spanish, it means 'The View of Gold'.

Gee`s what cheek , i`m not a Brit at worse i`m an Englishman and at best a Yorkshireman

. Oh and i think that sign isn't descriptive of the road, but it sure as shit is of the country

.

Since you asked i come from Leeds , and if you look really hard at this picture you can see me standing at the tip of the crane on the left jerking off , which is also why the crane seems a foot longer than recommended specifications

Another typical male tale told through the medium of sign

Or maybe it`s just typical for me
