This killed me today listening to the radio.
BBC News - Effin in County Limerick seen as 'offensive' on Facebook

The audio is classic.

Hmm, in PA we have:
Beaverdale, Big Beaver, Moreheadsville, Lick Run, Blue Ball, Butz Town, Zip Down, Bottom, Intercourse, and Climax (and probably others) as town names. Effin would fit right in here.

Nothing quite so interesting here but we do have
Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateahaumaitawhitiu rehaeaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitan atahu, its the longest place name in the world, a hill in the North Island of New Zealand and its name means The hill of the flute playing by Tamatea — who was blown hither from afar, had a slit penis, grazed his knees climbing mountains, fell on the earth, and encircled the land — to his beloved

Alright Lisa, the Maoris might have the longest place name, but the aboriginals place names had much more important meanings like: Didjabringabeeralong

WTF - you actually read(tried to) that whole word?? There could be all sorts of hidden subliminal messages hidden in that word & we'd never notice!

Here in MI we have Big Beaver road off of I-75, on exit# 69.
No, really.


Although once again we get to see just how asinine Facebook's policies are. Even if it wasn't the name of an actual legitimate locale, what, Facebook doesn't allow people to post sanitized swearwords? How about an "FU", Zuckerberg?
