Hmmmm.....

Here in the low countries :

- Cock is a not uncommon first name,
- Fukking is a surname you'll certainly be able to find in a phone
book,
- Sexbierum is a very popular place to go (sex beer it)
- Waspik is another fav town (wash cock)

maybe Aunt Agatha and Jeroen Wijnands will add items to this list.
