I am a person of low intellect
I for one do not believe that.
and, 'Johnny Egghead',
you need to do a bit of work to find something to offend me, as I tell my daughters, I get called a bastard on a daily basis. As Anne says, I offend everyone. Interestingly enough I get on really well with grandmothers, and I had a really interesting discussion a few years ago with an elderly grandmother on artifical insemination. Anne was choking in her wine.
I am not discouraged.
Ok I will bite, name one place you named for yourself or someone else living? If the answer is you haven't, then you only proved my first point.
PS: That is the real reason the practice is banned in a lot of places to stop the Black Jake Streets from existing unless BJ was a real dead historical figure.
All roads named by the group I was responsible for were based on Aboriginal words for animal names. There is another very good safety reason for doing this as well, which may have saved some-one's life. Np prizes for the person who guesses the safety reason.
