Couldn't they have just manufactured an enormous bra?

It's a bit nipply around here?

Back in the Eighties, the USGS decided to bowdlerize the names of certain items in the Oregon Cascades. Whorehouse Meadows became Naughty Girl Meadows, and Bullshit Springs became Bullshirt Springs.
They never learn.

Ridiculous.

This political correctness is idiotic. How niggardly of them.

Maybe they should consider naming it Mary's Areola instead, but it doesn't quite have the same elevation or ring to it.

The west is full of landmarks named nipple and sh*thouse and whorehouse and such.
One of my personal favorites is Mollie's Nipple, in southwestern Utah. Great scenery there!

If it had been named Militant Lesbian Mary's Nipple everything would've been okay.

"Mary's" is an odd name. Perhaps a better choice might have been "Mary's Mosquito Bite".
To: Freakazoid
Does it grow in the winter?

Howdy, Pub'! They did the same thing in Idaho - "Squaw T!t Mountain" became "Squaw Mountain," now itself politically incorrect, and "Pissant Butte" became "Ant Butte." Of course, the locals still use the old names. Dad was working for the BLM trying to navigate fire crews through old terrain with new maps. He was less than amused...
To: Publius
They changed "Chinks Peak" to "Chinese Peak" around Pocatello.

I agree with that change. Chinks Peak is hard to pronounce. LOL!
To: Freakazoid
I guess that Jackson Hole at the Grand Tetons is next.

To: Political Junkie Too
"Jackson Hole". Isn't that the thing in the middle of Michael Jackson's face?
To: Myrddin
To the east of Targhee are the Grand Tetons. Shall we just call them the Grand now? As I recall they were named by French fur trappers who saw them as they trekked across the plains from the east (and no doubt homesick for some female companionship!)
