I see online that some residents of Rowley Regis want to change the name of Bell End Road because "it's rude."
What's rude about it?

That from wiki, though Urban Dictionary and Oxford corroborate the slang term.The village shares its name with the British slang for the glans penis.You're only delaying the inevitable, you run at your own expense. The repo man gets paid to chase you. ~Argabarga -

Lots of places have inappropriate names... There's a town in my state called Humptulips. I guess my question is, who cares? Just looking for things to be upset about I guess.Replace anger management with stupidity management.Comment

Bell end is a slang term referring to the uncircumcised end of male reproductive organs. In other words, calling someone a bell end is like calling them a dick head.Quoth MoonCat View PostWhat's rude about it?"It is traditional when asking for help or advice to listen to the answers you receive" - RealUnimportant

And if someone has "their head up their @$$" then they have a case of "cranio-rectal inversion".
Or if they're just making stuff up or making a wild guess, I say they're "rectally sourcing" something (i.e. pulling it out of their @$$).Skilled programmers aren't cheap. Cheap programmers aren't skilled.Comment

Apparently,Manchester City wished to name a stand in honour of one of their former players-Colin Bell-until it was pointed out that it would be named the Bell End.

It's the same here in Oz. We call them bum bags.
When the 'Thong song' first came out, I was really confused about what they were singing about. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thong_Song That was until I actually saw the video clip. Thongs are things you wear on your feet in Oz. The underwear is called a g-string.

Or, as has been observed many times before:
"Britain and the US--one people divided by a common language!"“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John RogersComment
