Someone Made A Map Of Every Rude Place Name In The UK

QuoteThe UK is full of rude place names. The North West has a Two Butt Lane and a Pincock, while Yorkshire is arguably worse, boasting an Upperthong.


QuoteSouth Wales includes such classics as Pwllypant, Cwm Farteg, and Bully-Hole Bottom.


QuoteNorthumberland has an Ogle and a Frolic in close proximity, as well as Bushygap.


QuoteCornwall has not one but two Shag Rocks and a Brown Willy.


QuoteSussex is notable for having Dicker, The Dicker, and Upper Dicker all nearby.

BC, didn't find it on the website.
Google search doesn't bring it up.  Bawb, if you find the vendor be a nice chap and share with us ruddy colonials?

Never mind, finally enlarged the site enough to read it.
"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Tallulah Bankhead: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me."

"When all other trusts fail, turn to Flashman." — Abraham Lincoln.

"I have enjoyed very warm relations with my two husbands."
"With your eyes closed?"
"That helped."  Lauren Bacall

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

Great graphic!


It's pretty humbling to think that Voyager 1, the farthest any of our creations have travelled, has gone a little over a 500th of a light year, and even though Voyager 1 is not just the farthest-traveling but also the fastest-traveling man-made object to date it will take about 75 thousand years to travel a distance equal to that of our nears stellar neighbor, Proxima Centauri.

I don't think that picture is to scale.
Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

it's a GIF - download it and open in an image editor, and you can pull indie images out.
