No Snickering - That Road Sign Means Something Else - NYTimes.com
Topic: Miscellaneous 3:46 pm EST, Jan 23, 2009

There's a great tradition of towns and streets with naughty names in Britain.

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.

Certainly beats naming everything "Peachtree".
