Hungry for seafood? Would you eat a...
Slippery dick?
Slippery dick (Halichoeres bivittatus) is a species of ocean-dwelling fish in the family Labridae. This species originates mostly from the Western Atlantic: North Carolina and Bermuda to Brazil. It swims as if it's dragging its tail. Adults may grow to a length of 8 inches.

If it wasn't bad enough that a group of crows is known as "a murder of crows", do we really need-
1. A pounce of cats?
2. A bloat of hippos?
3. A romp of otters?
4. An intrusion of cockroaches
5. A shrewdness of apes?

An intrusion of cockroaches sounds rather accurate.

On this vein think of a parliament of owls and a congress of baboons.

... Or any combination of sentences, words, signs, movie titles, awkward names, you name it!
This came to mind a week ago when my English class was assigned a new book to read.
The title: Ragged Dick. Needless to say, my 11th grade class could NOT ignore that. Pretty much the entire class was laughing, minus a few exchange students, who joined in once others told them the meaning.

A few more examples would be:
*Rotton Surgical Group
*Flippen Elementary School
*Braspeed Auto Sales
*R.Soles
*Crazy Woman Creek Road
*Turistfart
*Obama Fingers

I was wondering if anyone also had some funny titles they wanted to share~

(This might be moved to a different category if needed.)


I had some of those. The Curry Dip was not what I expected and the chicken fingers were both funny tasting and indirectly racist.

The German city of Darmstadt is funny considering what Darm + Stadt means (Darm: intestines, Stadt: city).
The small village of f*****g in Austria is quite hilarious, though the name is derived from a man with the last name of Focke.
Mammoth Erection (a construction company).
Gruppe 6 (sechs): The name of the armoured cars in GTA.
w*k's is a local dairy company and confectioner's market. I understand in English this is funny.
