Never heard of what3words before. Do the words ever make sense, in context? I would’ve thought ///prime.minister.office would be more fitting for 10 Downing Street than ///slurs.this.shark.

No, they’re pretty much random. I’m a bit lucky that one of the close ones to me makes a phrase similar to exotic.undress.dance (fudged a bit to not give my location) so that I’ve got 1 that’s really easy to remember

Here’s a thread about what3words and “apposite, amusing or just surreal locations”:

amusing.location.game

It’s in Saudi Arabia. The idea behind What3Words.com is pretty neat: describe every 3m x 3m square on the globe with a unique three-word combination. So eagle.sheep.horn describes a spot in front of Sydney Opera House, for example. Confusingly, empire.state.building describes a point on a road in the Kanagawa prefecture of Japan. There’s plenty of choice if you want to find a particularly apposite, amusing or just surreal location. Consider delicious.fresh.coffee found in Brazil, secret.agent…

And in what’s probably wishful thinking, the front door of 10 Downing St is input.caring.brain
