      In Poland there is a city called “Police” but it’s not related to police, it means “fields” in archaic Polish. There are also (in translation): Butts, Hell, Upper Hell, Lower Hell, Not Hell, Cold Vodka, Tomcats, Rotten Mud, Dry Dogmeat, Sea, Givemehere, Frogeaters, Old Godhelp, Pisswolf, Curses, Krauts, Brothels, Small Village at Road, Scrotum, Old Forest Heroes, Box, Treason, Bad Meat, Horsehammers, Death, Anthrax Colony, Noname, Females, Street, Small Jumps, Big Jumps, and so on (granted, some of them are old as fuck and only funny because language changed and words changed meaning, for example this anthrax place originally meant Coal Colony).
