There's a town in Northern Ireland called Muff. Funny thing is they have a diving club you can join to become an official member of the Muff diving club.
😂
Muff diving is great sport....
There,s a village in Shropshire called Knockin, the general store was bought in the 1980,s and the new owner renamed it "The Knockin Shop, (which is slang for a brothel.)
My maternal grandmother's family were from Lincolnshire, and I actually had a great aunt who lived in Bitchfield. 😊
thank heavens you decided not to mention the
market town of Cockermouth in Cumbria,
That's the one i was waiting for or Ramsbottom.
That is the king of all names
Oh Yvette, Yvette, I'm rather afraid you've only just scratched the surface of (potentially) rude place names in the British Isles... as I feel sure fellow subscribers will be pointing to even as I type... talking of which I am particularly fond of Scratchy Bottom, Dorset (came 2nd to Shitterton in the list of rudest place names); Titty Ho, Northamptonshire; Nob End, Lancs (now a site of Special Scientific Interest apparently - make of that what you will); Blackdikes in Angus and as others have said you did well to delicately avoid Cockermouth in Cumbria. Steet names widen the pool with Beaver Close in Surrey, Fanny Avenue in Derbyshire, Slag Lane in Merseyside and here in High Wycombe we have that old post man's favourite, Cock Lane... STOP tittering at the back!
I also recall that in the early days of the internet if you tried to enter Scunthorpe in a search engine you were asking for trouble for some reason...
Ah such harmless fun...
Speaking of Scunthorpe, back in the 90s I was working in the IT side of Direct Marketing. One day I was tasked with writing a COBOL program that would filter out any profanities from our data upload process, data that would eventually make its way to car dealerships to follow up on potential sales leads. As a team, we had a great few days compiling a list of any naughty words we could think of, which I then added to my program. It was considered quite a success, until the day several months later we had a complaint from the dealership in Scunthorpe, asking why they'd stopped receiving sales leads. The penny dropped when I looked at the logs of all the data rejected by the profanity filter! 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I used to live in a small village called Nibble - on - the - Nipple, on the outskirts of Great stonkingwood
I can see the village of Netherthong across the valley from where I live now. The next village up the valley is called Upperthong, and further down the valley is the village of Thongsbridge. The "thong' is is a Norse word for a strip of land, hence Upper, Nether (lower) and bridge. I lived in Netherthong for many years, it has a church, shop, school and a great pub.
Favourite "rude" one is Fannyside Lochs , fave silly one Matching Tye ( Essex)
Sandy Balls - New Forest, more of a holiday park though. I live near Nether Wallop.
There is a road in London that was called Gropecunt lane. I think it got changed about ten years ago.
Piddle is the name of the river in that area of Dorset. Also the people of Shitterton love the name. The council wanted to change it, mainly because people kept stealing the metal place name but the people of Shitterton protested and raised funds to have a huge rock with the village name carved into it instead of the metal sign
They have the same problem at F**king in Austria!
Does anyone remember when the town “Scunthorpe” used to regularly get censored on old skool Internet forums/boards?
yup.. i even got banned from a group for using that naughty word ;)
You're right, these place names you've mentioned are Old English not Viking. Wetwang is mentioned in the Doomsday book as Wetuuangha meaning 'field for the trial of a legal action' and you're right about Dry field becoming Driffield.
Nether, as we know means below or underground and thong which was thwang in Old English means narrow strip of land, there is also an Upperthong, meaning above the narrow strip of land. I used to live by Netherton in Yorkshire, ton (tun in OE) meaning settlement or enclosure.
Love our old place names, I come from York in Yorkshire and we have so many street names changed from Viking words, some changed so much the meaning is wrong like Coppergate for eg. obviously sounds like where copper was made or worked but no it's derived from Koppari Gata, Koppari= Cup, Gata = Street = Street of the Cup Makers = Coppergate??
Coming from Yorkshire, not bothered about any of the places outside my County because, "If it's not in Yorkshire, it's not worth bloody visiting" Lol.
There is a train station in Brussels called Kunst-Wet.
sounds like a lovely place. right I'm off to google earth for that one.
In the 1990's Gateshead MBC renamed a street in Chopwell.It was originally called Fannybush Lane and was renamed Whittonstall Road.Nearby is the village of Hookergate.
live near barton in the beans, which you mention, also a village called Willey, where the pub serves giant hotdogs called willey whoppers
There are two places called Twatt, one on Orkney and one in Shetland. How could you miss these out?
Also, there’s a hill called Lord Hereford’s Knob near Hay-on-Wye in Wales.
In Worcestershire there is the village Wyre Piddle, which has Piddle Brook flowing through into the River Avon. There is another River Avon in Dorset and a third flowing through Bristol.
And in Surrey there is Dorking...and even better just a few miles away, Effingham!
King Arthur is actually a Welsh legend,Old English is Anglo-Saxon.Surprised you left out Cockermouth and Penistone.
Not a rude one, but a wierd one - I used to live in a Derbyshire town called Clowne. (From the river Clune, AFAIK, if anyone's interested.) It also has the dubious distinction of occupying the same space on the Sheffield version of Monopoly as Old Kent Road normally does on the regular board - the cheapest property on the board.
and the original Scotland Yard was on Gropecunt Lane - ahem!
I live near a place called Gotham. Not rude but never seen Batman and its close to Bunny both in Nottinghamshire.
There's a street in Lincolnshire called Butts Road and another called Bell End (So funny)
There's also Glory Hole which is a design tunnel for small boats to go through.
Apparently there was a lane called Gropec××t lane which was changed, but they went for it in New Zealand. Selt different though.
Nice seeing you. I hope you are doing well. Thank you for sharing this.
Close to Piddlehinton is Piddle Trenthide in Dorset, also Coxley near Wells in Somerset
I live near Fingringhoe, Colchester, quite saucy really :D
Lamenting the lost ‘Piddle In The Hole’ which was part of Wyre Piddle (Worcestershire) area. Wyre Piddle brewery did do a ‘Piddle in the Hole’ beer to commemorate, which seems apt...
There is a place near Canterbury in Kent called Pett Bottom. It’s not a rude as some places but makes me giggle.
Nr Jodrell Bank there’s a Village called ‘Over Peover’, there’s also ‘Lower Peover’ and there is a Peover Hall.
I used to drink in The Bells of Peover and the Park Gate in Over Peover back in the early 1970s when I was 18.
braces2 - I haven’t been in the Bells for years; used to work at Radbroke Hall in the 90’s, so drove through Lower Peover every day. Used to drink in the Stocks at lunchtimes, but didn’t venture into Over Peover that often......it’s a nice area
In Staffordhire, between Stone & Stoke is a little village called Tittensor. Named after the Tittensor family (according to Wikipedia.)
There is a place in Yorkshire called Blubberhouses and also The Land of Nod. I know it's not a place name, but I once knew someone with the surname Cockshot - they insisted it was pronounced Coe-shaw..... of course it was.
Hiya. My favourite is still Wilsford cum Lake, Wiltshire. Stay safe. All the best to you.
There is a small village near Dorchester in Dorset called shiterton.
Shatton in Derbyshire
There was a street in London called Feel c**t lane. They changed the name can't think why it explained perfectly what went on there.
then there were the streets in English towns called "grope[**]nt lane" (can be located in its corrected form on Wikipedia) Britain's rudest street name ?
Nunney Catch isn't rude, but my mind thinks it is.
The names of the towns and villages in Uk were long named before modern society decided to introduce derogatory terms to old English. They all have a natural meaning from ancient languages.
Some councils go about renaming these historic places to gentrify them.
I was in the Army Air Corps based in Middle Wallop near Nether Wallop
I remember subscribing to Alanna on Adventures and Naps about 5 and you in May last year. The more subscribers you get the more dumb adverts You Tube stick in, and it’s really annoying! Keep going though! Alanna is back in the UK so it will be great watching you both!
Just get an Adblocker. No more annoying adverts. UA-cam is unwatchable without one. I recommend Ublock Origin.
speleokeir Thanks for that!
And didn't we cheer when she got her visa renewed
I got a lump in my throat when she was opening the letter.
Woodcock near Dawlish in Devon always got a smile from me going through it.
Prattsbottom near Bromley in Kent is a good one.
Mustn’t forget Pratts Bottom 👍
Near which is Knockholt, so let's knock old Pratt's bottom
There is a place in wales pronounce Cwn sounding very similar to Cum .Funny listening to the English specking this Welsh village name. Shag rock or Bushy Gap.
There’s a wee village just down the road from me called Cockburnspath it gets shortened to Co’path
Dont forget Twatt, in the Orkney Islands, Scotland. Yes, its real lol
There's another Twatt in Cornwall!
@@RichDoes.. Thank you, I thought there was. Grew up in Devon.
there's Twatt in Shetland & Orkney :)
Knob end, Bolton
The sad thing is if you look into nearly all of these are very old names before the rude terms came into use. Still funny though :)
You forgot to mention the River Piddle in Dorset. There are two parts, the Upper Piddle and the Lower Piddle. You mention yourself that many of the rude names are from the past including the Saxons, the Angles and the Vikings (they were Danish Vikings that invaded Britain not Norwegian). What sounds rude now was just normal, they had their own 'naughty' words!
Plenty of Norwegian Vikings settled in NW England and Yorkshire. Danes (many of whom came from what is now Sweden) preferred the East Midlands.
@@mikesaunders4775 I'm not saying there were no Norwegian Vikings, as you say in parts of NW England, but eventually the Danish Vikings dominated, which is why we had Danelaw in eastern Britain as opposed to Anglo Saxon law in the west.
Here’s one you missed on the outskirts of Sheffield, Penistone although thankfully it’s pronounced pen is stun
That's the name Top Gear had on a race car, so opening the door had half the name showing so it was just showing p 😁😂
David Hulme Jeremy Clarkson wasn’t born too far away Penistone so it will be a place he knew well
Well it would be, wouldnt it!
Lickey End , in Bromsgrove
There is the Devils Arsehole, a deep cave. I think its Derbyshire.
I can't keep a straight face whenever you say Wetwang.
used to have best chippy in wetwang
I live not far from Bell End in Worcestershire.
I can imagine a guy from Bell End being called Richard Head. (Shortened for obvious reasons)
Little Peover Bridge in Cheshire.
This is hilarious! 😂😂
As well as netherthong there is upperthong
There's a pub near where I live called, The Cockwell Inn
Puts me in mind of Jamie Oliver's mobile pub in his TV series some years back, The Cock in Cider.
There’s a road in Essex called Tom Tit Lane. Tom Tit is rhyming slang for....????
English places don't hold a candle to European place names as the Top Gear team found out in one of their last ever episodes - ua-cam.com/video/BLXe2WTYngQ/v-deo.html
Fingringhoe. Essex
search The Inbetweeners Rude Road Trip Part 1 and Part 2 on UA-cam
Not a place but a road ..Jackass Lane, Bromley
Many of these names are very old I mean hundreds of years old and originally were not rude
Hi. Love your vids but can I respectfully ask that you drop the word 'like'!!!! Cheers.
Bell end , there are several
You missed out Cockermouth.
there is a town called no place in county durham
There's an area of Sheffield called Halfway. If you caught the bus you asked the driver for a Halfway return or say you wanted to go all the way to Halfway.
Pratts bottom is another not far from me.
you want me to help out your back end?.., cheeky lol
