There’s another one I saw not in person. Not going to say what it was because it was very inappropriate.

There's a street in W. Virginia where all the streets are numbers, 10th Street, 11th Street etc. Then there's a street with a half number, like 19 1/2 Street. I can just imagine the city planners saying Oops!

It means cat ellbow and I find it so funny. |
It's a well known last name
Presumably originating from a name of a region

There was a time when Jews were given humiliating names by the government. This could be one of them. This is what I assume when I hear the name Mauskop. (No offense to any lovely ppl with that name)

My daughter always cringes when she goes out on a date with a boy and he uses GPS.

There is nothing strange about the name Pines, pronounced Pines. The issue is that Israelis DONT pronounce it that way.
I stayed on that street many times (there’s a hotel on it) and when I would ask a cab driver to take me to Pines or however I decided to pronounce it, he would never know what I was talking about until finally he’d say “ahhh, rechov pen*s…”
