From Wikipedia:
Gropecunt Lane (pronounced /groupkunt lein) was a street name found in English towns and cities during the Middle Ages, believed to be a reference to the prostitution centred on those areas; it was normal practice for a medieval street name to reflect the street’s function or the economic activity taking place within it. Gropecunt, the earliest known use of which is in about 1230, appears to have been derived as a compound of the words grope and cunt. Streets with that name were often in the busiest parts of medieval towns and cities, and at least one appears to have been an important thoroughfare.
Although the name was once common throughout England, changes in attitude resulted in its being replaced by more innocuous versions such as Grape Lane. Gropecunt was last recorded as a street name in 1561.
Yeah, well they changed it to Grabsnatch Lane. Is that really any better?
Double yellows, no passing on Grabsnatch Lane.
Maybe they make the hookers walk the double yellow lines to advertise.
I came across a road in St. Andrews, Scotland called Butts Wynd Road. I wonder what people did there, but at the same time i really don’t want to know.
I was quite surprised to see that as Wiki’s Article of the Day. All those young children going to Wikipedia and seeing the word “C**T” plastered in their faces. 😀
