Would you move to or move from a town with a hilarious sexual name?

Okay, I admit that I was probably a bit too amused and found it waaay more funny than it should have been.

To my (weak) defense: have had extreme fever last 3 days, peaked last night at 41.6C (106.88F) and been on regular dafalgan codeine during a large part of these days. Not that I need that to find something more amusing than most other people.

Is again rising steadily, so can't help saying I appreciate the reply, and in more than 1 way (same goes to wigz too btw)

Thanks for the info. It is rare that jokes and learning info go hand in hand, thanks.

(still after several hours laughing and trying to get head around the insane "Tampon Reunion", "Mianus" and -seriously - Fingringhoe)

Also funny how one country's insults or slang can differ so much from a neighboring country. Had a friend/colleague - a true Brit and he grew up rough. We used to take smoke breaks together, and the handsign for a cigarette I always use is a turned around victory sign. Turns out that is equivalent to a middle finger in Britain (to suppress the longbow archers they cut of those fingers. So the sign is saying "see these fingers? I can still use my longbow and I'm aiming for you you daft cunt)

Also, he called a cigarette a "fag" which is also logical as it stems from french fagots or tinderbundle. Gays were called poofs or poofters, not fags or faggots. So basically he had a jolly old time asking if anyone else wanted to smoke including the bosses and suits by going around and "in order not to disturb concentration" using the two finger sign vigorously while genuinely smiling, sometimes asking "Fag?".

PS: there is a dutch detective serie where the main character is called "De Cock" which he spells out every time "c-o-c-k" and then he introduces his partner Dick. Guess no one thought about the possibility of exporting it to English countries.

yeah, but I do wonder how many times something like registration forms or online ordering will be mistakenly blocked or deemed fake when you live in a city called "Mianus". Must be horrible also when ordering by telephone instead of an electronic form. Imagine knowing up front the same "is this a prank call" discussion will arise, where you will have to convince the callee that "yes, I actually do live in Mianus. Yes, Mianus actually convers X square miles and has Y number of people living in it" (no matter what you say you risk just making things worse) facing possible outcomes as simply not being believed, or having to wait for the callee to finally stop laughing.

Wauw, actually forgot to add a "wouldn't care" option. Sure, why not, and some names aren't really that weird either. So you wouldn't mind living in Sodom, UK for example?
