Tuam

Wtf is a tuam.

Found this on urban dictionary.:D
2. tuam

The perineum on a female. The space between the anus and the vagina. Background : it's a street in Houston, Texas, we were loaded one night and well... if your tuam ever needs medical attention, just take it to Dr. Locke - yeah, we don't know either. It's a great word though.
Man, she is so pissing me off! I'd like to give that ho a swift boot to the tuam!

Which used to run riding weekends..seriously.

What about Pollachapaill(horses hole), on road betwen Callan and Clonmel? There's a place called Bawnamuckaluck outside Rathmore in Co Kerry(literal meaning-the pigs drowned in a lake). Nearby are the twin mountains called the Paps..and smart feckers have built stone cairns on top of each.
Skeoughavosteen, Co Kilkenny
Gotham, Bilboa ,Jeruselem and Palatine are all in Carlow.
Pepperhill (near Buttevant ,Co Cork) Salthill, Co Galway, Vinegar Hill Co Wexford.

Hi,

Like a lot of new placenames (a disgrace that this kind of thing isn't policed more), Norbury Woods, an estate in Tullamore, is named after a grade A ****bag judge called Lord Norbury who was responsible for the hanging and persecution of too many locals.

Luckily, one local decided to put him beyond use and that was that.

Also, Main Street in Tullamore. For F**k's sake, the Main Street is William Street, not a new street designed by a developer.

Our planners were asleep for the last decade. However our ancestors had a sense of humour.

The fastest stretch of road in Ireland (based on Garda stats) was always Ginnybanwn Hill, the long descent just outside Tyrellspass, which was the old N6 galway route. Just East of that on the Dublin side is a wee townland called TORQUE!! Now where are the bikini-clad minxes?

I think every county and in the country has a main street, nevermind major towns such as Tullamore...:pac:

There's a place in Limerick called Sugarhill. Nothing unusual there until you see its Irish version, which is Cnoc an Chaca (Shít Hill).

Where is that???

I grew up in an area called Tonaphubble in Sligo. The Irish translation says Thon na Phobail. Sorry now, my Gaeilge is a bit rusty, but does that sort of translate to 'ar*se of the community/public?'
