Below is a col­lec­tion of place names (typ­i­cally cities or towns) that can be used (how­ever eas­ily) as sex­ual innu­endi. This list is com­piled from my own obser­va­tions and the help of Twitter.com users.

Oth­ers have com­prised sim­i­lar lists, but I don’t entirely agree with their choices. Hence, I’ve set some rules for my considerations.

Rules:

  1. The name must be inap­pro­pri­ate within the con­text of the most com­monly used lan­guage in the area within which the place resides. This rule elim­i­nates false-positives result­ing from lin­guis­tic coin­ci­dence (i.e. The word “nova” in Eng­lish is an astro­nom­i­cal term. The phrase “No va” means “Don’t go” in Span­ish.  This is a lin­guis­tic coincidence.)

The list:

  • Plen­ty­wood, MT
  • Puk­wana, SD
  • Inter­course, PA
  • Bird-In-Hand, PA
  • Blue Ball, PA
  • Lans­ing, MI
  • Woody Creek, CO
  • Mount Pleas­ant, TN
  • Vir­ginville, PA
  • Hor­ney­town, NC
  • Cli­max, MI
  • Clitlick, Leeds, England

More to come soon.
