Most towns or cities in Great Britain that have three syllables drops the middle one when you say the name, meaning the name is either pronounced:

Shit-ton or Shit-on

Hope for their sake its the former . . .

which reminds me of the joke about how to receive a signed photograph of zero ...

after wiping, don't flush ... put the paper in a frame.

Maybe they could change the name to "Latrine" like she did:

oh crap, I am just sophomoric enough to be gasping for breath with tears in my eyes. It’s not so much the cussword as the syntax. It’s so...useable. As in “don’t be such a...” or “Well, hel-lo Mr...”

There’s one that’s worse. (but it’s not nearly as funny) They changed their name because people kept stealing the road sign. It’s in Austria.

There’s a place called Pisses in Greece (on the island of Kea—ancient name was Poieessa).

There is a village in Yorkshire called Blubberhouses. It’s not far from Deerstones.
