English people walk to Grope Lane 🚶🏻♀️
EDIT: Wow, it used to be Gropecunt Lane: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gropecunt_Lane
Strider | Scott@LilahTovMoon If it's the same street as the one I'm thinking, you might want to look up the original name. Classy it is not.
Matt Wilcox@Strider Before the Great Street Renaming of a couple hundred years (?) ago ... yeah. There were loads of such lanes. Much as there's "Baker Street" or "Tape Street". @LilahTovMoon
Yeah, such names were in several cities, including mine.
The Turtle
AspiringLudditeOr Grape Lane. Which is just linguistic drift.
Marty Party@LilahTovMoon okay I'm British and I knew about *a* Gropecunt Lane existing. It's news to me there were several, nay it was a common name like say Market Street! After Brexit there are few things to be proud of in this sorry nation, but you find new reasons for hope every day.

"Streets with that name were often in the busiest parts of medieval towns and cities, and at least one appears to have been an important thoroughfare."
