There's Cocking and Dicker, both in Sussex (what is it about Sussex?), and sh*t in Yorkshire. Not forgetting Crapstone in Devon and Effingham in Surrey.

Don't you Brits have a desert called 'spotted something-or-other?'

http://tinwhistletunes.com/clipssnip/newspage.htm Officially, the government uses the term “flap,” describing it as “a condition, a situation or a state of being, of a group of persons, characterized by an advanced degree of confusion that has not quite reached panic proportions.”

Grosse Tete (in Louisiana, USA)... "Swelled Head". Could be a double entendre.

Though not obscene, I've always gotten a chuckle out of the name Bucksnort (a town in Tennessee, USA).
