And then there's the Amish, who gave their towns names like Intercourse and Bird in Hand.

That's a pub name in the UK.

Bird In Hand, that is. Intercourse is what happens in the pub toilets.

Just googled quickly out of interest. There's 14 pubs called Bird in Hand within 30 miles from my location, plus 2 restaurants and one bus stop with the same name.

A bus stop? Is it right outside the local?

[–] Soku@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

There's a pub 0.3 miles from the bus stop. I suppose better than to name the stop "Nisa local" or "shopnumber5".
