I like Töss, I guess if you're from there you're a Tösser. Also, Kloten in Dutch means testicles It gets lots of laughs from Dutch friends I pick up at the aeroport.
Well, I thought 'Fingeringhoe' in Essex was too close for comfort when I lived in Colchester but I have just read of a place called 'Wankdorf' in the Muse thread...
I honestly could not live in a town called Wankdorf (cue the schoolboy giggles)... Is it called Wank for short ? Do locals (Wankers ??) say I am just going to Wank this afternoon when they mean shopping ?
Yes, indeed Wankdorf is a suburb of Bern, and it's where the Football stadium is located. (Where the Young Boys play). It's a lot to take in.
Actually, when we were thinking about coming here, a friend took us around and we saw the sign and I said, brightly, ohhhhhhhh, wankdorf, is that a town full of wankers? Our friend laughed, and then politiely informed us that his mom lived there. But he did think it funny.
Apparently "wankdorf" means something like meeting place I think.
Wanker is a old southern name. Over in Germany there is a Wank mountain and the Wankbahn takes tourists up to the summit, and a neighbor boasts the name Alois Wanker, poor sod.
