Europe had some funny ones. I remember Im Werd street in Austria. RE: pin- street - My son has has a boy in his class with that spelling but they pronounce it peenyas. Maybe it's a different name I dunno. Either way, we don't use the word pee-nis in the house.

In Monsey there's Regina Road, sounds nice, right? The GPS ALWAYS pronounces it with a hard I so it sounds like a vaj...

One time we had an appointment in Tel Aviv and it was on the corner of Esther Hamalka street. That was so cute.

There’s also a street called Shprintzak, we couldn’t stop laughing at that.

Then I noticed a strip club on Kibbutz Guliyot street, which was sad….

Do you know how the name came about? A lot of jews got their names from their trade but I just can't imagine a scenario how that name would have come about?
