While here in Dorset (UK) our major river is the river Piddle. 
Numerous villages are named after it such as Piddletrenhyde 
and even Much Piddle. Tolpuddle of martyrs fame is a changed
 name, doctored after the martyrs went to the High Court, where 
it was considered inappropriate. The villages name was changed 
from Tolpiddle

Most of the euphemisms for a gentleman's equipment are 
fairly harmless ones; they wouldn't make me blush and I'm 
not one for swearing. After all, if we can cope with a well-known 
West Country hill called Brown Willy without too much 
sniggering.. ... Curiously, the one which I find silly which I think
I have only seen in US English is "manhood" which for some 
reason makes me chuckle.

No, the words which are normally bleeped and ones at which I 
personally take umbrage if I hear them are the f-word, the 
c-word and the s-word.
