Gropecunt Lane

Gropecunt Lane (/ˈɡroʊpkʌnt/) was a street name found in English towns and cities during the Middle Ages, believed to be a reference to the prostitution centred on those areas; it was normal practice for a medieval street name to reflect the street's function or the economic activity taking place within it. Gropecunt, the earliest known use of which is in about 1230, appears to have been derived as a compound of the words grope and ****.

I’ve been to Monkey’s Eyebrow, Kentucky.
I don't live that far from Intercourse PA. Got to admit I point out the sign any time we drive by to my wife. She got mad at me one time when as a family we drove by Vincenness IN and saw the Executive Inn where my wife and I had our honeymoon. I said, "Kids, that is where your Dad became a man".
