It's almost as good as Mianus. Apparently there's a church in Mianus.

Well, I know of a little French village known as "Anus". And another one named "Condom".
And there are some cities with very funny names. Such as "Montcucq", pronounced like "Mon Cul" meaning "My Arse".

'Intercourse' has become 'sexual intercourse' in our modern language. At the time that town was named it would have had very different cultural connotations. The first two definitions Bruce posted would be the more common usage back then.

This town always gets mentioned in conjunction with Bird in Hand, Blue Ball and Virginville.

I'm still amused by not realising the filth potential of Penistone UK until it was pointed out recently by an American Dwellar (?xob)
