I was looking around on Google Maps and thought of a few silly words, and it actually found places with those names! So I went and looked for more, and here's the result.

America, Limburg
Fucking, Austria
Anus, France
Boring, Denmark
Röfl, a street in Austria
Léet, a street somewhere in Sweden
Boink, Germany
Murr, Germany
Batman, Turkey
Krk, Croatia
And then as a followup: Spöck, Germany
Å, Norway (there were several of these actually)
Y, France
Hell, Norway (And you bet that place has been frozen a few times!)
Modum, Norway
Telefon island, Sweden
Hax, a street somewhere in Germany

Well in the Netherlands we have a "Moddergat" (meaning "mudhole" with "hole" as in "stupid little village") and a "Doodstil" ("dead silent").

And from The Impossible Quiz, I learned there is a "Bitchfield", "Blubberhouses", "Brown Willy", a "Budd's Titson" and a "Twatt".

Krakeling is also Dutch for pretzel, so it has a whole different meaning for us trade-folk :rotfll:
