What is wrong with you fucking people? Its weird enough there is a place called Middlesex. I’m reading headlines now about a flood in cockermouth. Better yet, its in the region of cumbria. I wish I was making this shit up.
And London! What the fuck kind of name is that!
In before Scunthorpe.
I know it’s not a location, but how about spotted dick
Or the Great Tit.
The Paps of Jura!

I love British names. Very imaginative and have funny origins I’d imagine. Maybe it’s because I’m part British but I’d rather have locations named like cockinfields or bubblesbrawth instead of toronto and edmonton.
I assume the British had sex on the mind when coming up with these imaginative names?
Either way, they’re all rather silly names, but still pretty funny.
I rather like the name Pity Me. =p
Bloody Peasants!
“Good eve to thee, comely lass. I am the Duke of Pratts Bottom, and I beseech thy companionship and possibly court thee. What say the… why art thou laughing thy breeches off, wench? … Bloody Americans.”
Yeah, it went just that way. Pompous nobles.
If there’s no interesting etymology, it’s no fun.
I had no idea there was a place called Upper Dicker
I enjoyed that list quite a bit
These are great but I don’t think anything will ever beat the village of Fucking in Austria founded by Focko.
Oh, and Lake Titicaca. Makes me laugh every time.
I dunno. Upper Dicker and Buttock Point have a lot more comedic value I think.
