This article makes you so proud to be British! As one of my American colleagues put it: "You guys have so many words for everything - and so many ways of being rude to someone in an understated way."
Most of the names here have totally innocuous meanings. It would have helped if the writer had been a little more versed in the etymology of UK placenames. For example, "bottom" (as in Foggy Bottom) is a common placename meaning the low-point of a valley. Wetwang is a corruption of the old icelandic 'Vœtt-vangr' meaning a place to which one is summoned to be tried for an offense. North Piddle comes from the old English word for marsh. There's a more comprehensive list of "rude" place names, with some etymology here, for anyone interested. Although many of these differ from my Oxford Dictionary of British Place-Names (OK - I'm anal - but etymologies fascinate me... :-)

I'm five. I laughed ridiculously throughout the whole thing.

It's not just the UK, in Texas they also have some embarrassing town names.

Liberal, Texas: two words that pretty much would never appear next to each other if it weren't for this town. I also love they have probably have the Liberal Police Department, and other fun stuff.

I wonder what the residents of Liberal call themselves. Liberalites?

Ha, that's like Savage, MD. Just minutes from where I was raised. We call them "Savages."

A friend of mine is a member of the Ugley Women's Institute, I'll have you know.
