My ex-boss worked for David Bowie while he was rehearsing for the Drum& Bass tour he did a few years back; he went into the room to find Bowie on the floor with a map of Dublin, and he pointed out several "wierd" place-names; can't remember them all but they included:

ring's end
balls' bridge
still organ...:D

Who knew that Dublin place names are full of sexual innuendo!!

Scoobydoobydoo

Claregalway - it was years before I realised it was a place name - I thought it was a county border area - Clare-Galway, like Laois-Offaly or Carlow-Kildare etc. So to me, it's silly, and confusing!

Found this on urban dictionary.:D
2. tuam

The perineum on a female. The space between the anus and the vagina. Background : it's a street in Houston, Texas, we were loaded one night and well... if your tuam ever needs medical attention, just take it to Dr. Locke - yeah, we don't know either. It's a great word though.
Man, she is so pissing me off! I'd like to give that ho a swift boot to the tuam!
