Tell me you cried "Hot Dog! Jumping Frog!" when you heard it was real...

Me: Santry. The university libraries are copyright, so there are thousands of books in storage there and you have to order them in. Unfortunately, they also store books in the basement, known as "stacks". So I thought Santry was some weird Trinityism for a cupboard.

Leitrim.

Still not convinced though.

Sleepy Hollow.

There actually is a village in Upstate New York called "Sleepy Hollow". Just thought it was a spooky sounding name that was used in The Headless Horseman stories.

Robbo · 14-07-2014 05:18PM

There is a Swansea.

Ballyglunin village as in the Quiet Man.
I thought it was a very cutesy, cuddly name indeed for such location, well, ideal for an American cinema audience to dwell upon. The name was not even used in the film - it was known as Castletown.

Fray Bentos.

I always assumed that this was just a name for dodgy steak pies. After finding out it is a real place I started wondering what they did with political prisoners in Uruguay and enjoyed the pies even less...

I honestly thought that was a madey-up name like Ballygobackwards. I was highly amused when I met a girl at college from there.

"No, really, where are you from?"
Scarlet for me and a bit scarlet for her too.

Coincidentally, I've also eaten in Muff. Quite the seasoned palate I have.
