You think that's bad? Swedish has a huge amount of hilarious placenames. At least
they sound funny now. They didn't of course back when they were named.
Some examples:
Runkesten 'Jerkoff stone'
Snålkuk 'Stingy dick/cock'
Snopptorp 'Williecroft / Dickcroft'
Pungpina 'Scrotum pain'
Röva 'Ass / Arse'
Kräkånger 'Vomit remorse'
The inhabitants of this last one actually had the name of their village changed to
something less conspicuous.
