The UK is famous for it’s rude place names.
One I spotted in a photo news item about today’s fog:
“Lixwm”.
Ooh er.
I am reminded of the always under-rated The Meaning Of Liff. Flicking through my well thumbed copy now one falls upon…
Affpuddle (n.) - The hidden puddle beneath a loose paving slab that shoots a jet of dirty rainwater straight up your leg when stepped on.
Clun (n.) - A totally useless thing or person.
Fingles Cave (n.) - The unfortunate result of using incredibly cheap, rough toilet paper.
Riber (n.) - The barely soiled sheet of toilet paper which signals that the bottom-wiping process is officially over.
Scrabster (n.) - A dog that enthusiastically humps your leg.
Wetwang (n. - … erm, figure it out.
Wimbledon (n.) - That last drop of urine which, no matter how much you shake it, always ends up running down your trouser leg.

Lickey end in Worcestershire 
In Upton on Severn. It was frequently stolen so it has now been concreted into the pavement.
I know a family who live in the road and a few years ago they had a residents’ meeting to decide whether they should apply for a name change. They decided not to.
Just the other day I found an old copy of Viz with a paperback of ‘Roger’s Profanisaurus’ attached as a freebie.
Not forgetting of course a schoolboy favourite from our geography text books. Brown Willy down on Bodmin Moor.
This reminds me to take yet another look into my copy of The Deeper Meaning of Liff. I haven’t done that in too long a time.
