Finally, an interactive map designed for everyone’s inner 12-year-old.
Geotechnologist Gary Gale compiled a list of dirty-sounding or crassly named places in the world and put them on a map, titled “Vaguely Rude Place Names Of The World,” for everyone to enjoy, the Verge notes.

Check out the map, linked here, for all the real-world hilarity.
