Used to be. It was a Top Shop beside the petrol station, the keyrings literally just said "Top Muff" with the shop colours etc. Very sought after items

Think it's changed to Tesco's or something now.

Jambo

Bastardstown and Horeswood bot in Co Wexford

I know im adding an 's' but how about 'Sallys Gap' up in the Wicklow mountains.

There is a chinese in Monastrevin called 'Soon Fatt'

In Kilkenny theres Windgap,Ballymackillagill, Poulgour (The Goats Hole, in English), Ballyjohnboy, Dirtystep, Lousybush and Tomnahaha...and not forgetting Viperkells.
I also think Leap (Lep) in Cork is kinda ridiculous along with Camp in Kerry.

Is there a place called Blueball somewhere in the midlands? Near Tullamore?

An English colleague of mine thought Nad in Cork was a fierce funny name, as in "a kick in the nads". It's kinda near Bweeng.

Inchagaggin in Cork. "Inchagaggin for it?"

A few places in Ireland called Halfway I suspect. We have at least one in Cork. Tremendous sense of pride in their village, couldn't even name it as a place in it's own right, only "halfway between X and Y"

And along with previous posters I definitely wouldn't want to be from Camp.
