Silly Irish place names

panda100 · 2006-05-09 14:39:52

Was having lunch with one of my mates today and he mentioned that where he's from down in Limerick is called Knicker. After looking it up on the net, lo and behold there is a knicker national school! Is there any places you know of in Ireland that has a silly name (termofeckin sorta goes without saying)........

Cockhill in Donegal.

Cockhill and muff are both in donegal. I wonder is there a man from cockhill married to a woman from muff. Should have been an easy chatup.
