Netherthong

I wonder if the villagers are Netherthongians?
Was browsing on a web-site and the name intrigued me, apparently it's in West Yorkshire.
Lovely, unusual names to be found on this planet :-))
Just thought I'd share....

Another one with a fascinating back story.
//Somewhat notoriously, the village possesses a road known as Sluts Hole Lane, although this is most likely a spelling mistake made by late Victorian census takers which has passed into relatively modern usage (maps and census documents held in Norwich's Library, 'The Forum', show it was originally known as Slutch Hole Lane). Attempts to restore the original name have been opposed by local historians; a residents' petition for a change was resisted in 1999. Slutch is an old English word meaning 'slushy' or 'muddy'; an alternative etymology is that it comes from the Dutch word for 'sluice', used in draining the fens.//
Slutch is a great word, I still use it.

the english obsession with bottomz
if you have hill and then another hill
the dippy bit bewtween them, is called a bottom
the dip in a switchback (*) is called a bottom and predates the replacement word for behind or arriss
near us in the 1960s Bottom Farm was renamed lower paradise dell ( or whatever) because the present name was 'rude' and my late farder commented - it probably has been Bottom Farm for a 1000 years
(*) cries of switchback - which back dat den etc etc
"which switch den dat," and one-liner after one-liner pours out of the pens of AB quipsters) sidesplitting all of them I dont wish to be unfair

Of course I had to Google, and came across these lists...

Not far from here we have Blotusflemming, and Crapstone...a rather pretty village if I recall correctly.
