When I question my career choices, I tend to forget some of the fringe benefits. A major one: teaching teenagers makes it slightly less inappropriate (or maybe just more funny) that mildly dirty language cracks me up. Apparently they like it in England too.
Here’s more unfortunate place names from the New York Times article (which could have had a much funnier title):
These include Crotch Crescent, Oxford; Titty Ho, Northamptonshire; Wetwang, East Yorkshire; Slutshole Lane, Norfolk; and Thong, Kent. And, in a country that delights in lavatory humor, particularly if the word “bottom” is involved, there is Pratts Bottom, in Kent, doubly cursed because “prat” is slang for buffoon.
How do you mention a place called called Titty Ho and not use that in the title of the article?
