Unfortunate street names

Lustful Court and other fun or unfortunate street names: " Telegraph Multimedia Archive 01708 Butt 1708583C
Folks who live on Lustful Court in Macon, Georgia are lobbying for their street to be granted a name change. The county commissioners have suggested that the residents submit a petition. Yoshonda Patterson told the Associated Press 'she thinks the name gives people the wrong idea about the neighborhood on the east side of Macon.'


Also in the news this week, the UK's Bladder Lane and Butt Hole Road. And then there's the classic unfortunate street name used in England in the Middle Ages -- Gropecunt Lane -- 'believed to be a reference to the prostitution centered on those areas,' according to Wikipedia.




Juvenile? Yes...but I am rubber and you are glue.
