How about these: In Ireland - Muckish, Stillorgan, Ballsbridge, Dolphin's Barn, Phoenix Park, the River Poddle, The Ragg, Moycarkey (local pronunciation "My car key"), Scribblestown, Ballygall, Dollymount, Booterstown, Usher's Island (not an island, of course), Horse and Jockey, Glasshouse, Callow, Bloody Foreland, Dunmore Head... Oh I could go on but I won't, and, yes, I'm Irish. In England - so many have been mentioned. What about Ashby de la Zouche? There is also a town called Shitterton. To defeat countless thefts of the town sign, it now takes the form of an enormous carved boulder. And isn't there a street in London called Petty France? Finally: In Austria - Fucking. Oh, yes. Anyone know how to pronounce "Decies" in Waterford? There's a Decies within Drum and a Decies without Drum. Pronunciation of either one greatly appreciated.
