There's a street in Lake Havasu City, Arizona called Broomr*pe Lane. It also has the nicest homes in that town.

My grandparents lived in LA but had a summer (winter?) property in Lake Havasu. I remember it fondly. It was far too hot and dry for me, but I liked visiting.

And there's now a chance that the UK will end up with Jeremy "Berkshire" Hunt as PM ("Berkshire Hunt" is Cockney Rhyming Slang for, erm... something that rhymes with "hunt". It's where the British insult "Berk" comes from.) He's even been called the, erm, other word, live on TV - the presenter said it was just a slip of the tongue, and Mr Hunt saw the funny side - but it's well known that many journalists and members of the public call him by the, erm, other word quite often.

the english are far more adult about naughty words than us namby pamby amuuuricans who go ape at the brief sight of a nipple. :roll:

There's a soft drink in France called Pschitt.

A lemon lime drink in Greece is called Zit.

In the Netherlands, they stopped selling Pledge, because in Dutch, it means p***.

The article says that one theory of the name's origin is that its an Anglification of a French phrase meaning "narrow point in the river". But they don't give the original French. Probably a phrase like "cul de sac" ( To de sac?). The whole US Midwest was once part of French Louisiana so it makes sense that a lot place names in Arkansas would have had French names at one time.

That's the trouble with English. It has so much slang. And keeps collecting more.

Never noticed before how the name of one of my fav comedians from my childhood, has TWO sexual slang words in his name!
