Just a question... Was that in Austria, perchance?

Oh, you mean the legendary F-word town? At the world scale not so far... about 1000 km South-West :)  The one is called "Moncuq", a small town North of Montauban in France, but pronounced locally it sounds like saying "my cheeks", the roughest way.

What, you mean a road like in London ?

No but a real town of 2 587 inhabitants (2010), there is even another microscopic place named Russia a bit southern, in New Jersey:

It was hard to find another particular one with Y, but the Russian Federation gave us a present: Yb (550 peoples according to Geonames)

DISH (yep, all in capital letters), Texas

According to the Geographic Names Information System: This community, established in June 2000, was originally named Clark. In November 2005, the community accepted an offer to rename itself DISH as part of a commercial agreement with a satellite television company.

Arf, the Brits got the solution to these "product placements" at least! I need to go there!

 

Hey, wait. Another place found a way to evade the junk mails in the boxes: Nameless, Tennessee.
