The station name is not suggestive by itself, but when you’re on the Red Line, the automated announcements in the new cars will announce all the stops by saying “Entering [station name]” We always snigger when it announces “Entering Andrew.” It’s really drawn out and pronounced carefully and slowly, which makes it seem kinda sultry and dirty. Then again, we’re easily amused. ---

And how could I forget the new **Mount Joy** train station on the Souffville line? 🙂 [sub]And I knew a Joy in high school too. But she wanted to marry Ed Broadbent\*… \*Then-leader of the NDP[/sub] ---

There’s a sign by a railroad I saw today that I hadn’t noticed before. I’m new in the area and have never heard anything around here referred to by that name, but the name? Hootersville. This being near New Orleans, that seems peculiarly appropriate! ---

Where I grew up - Saskatoon, Saskatchewan - the was the fairly large intersection of Rusholme and P. - Rush home and Pee! Even worse, our arch rival high school was located there - whenever they cam to our school to play against us we would yel “Rusholme and P! Rusholme and P!” Yeah, okay, we were dorky, but it was high school, cut me some slack. ---

This thread has wandered a bit far afield from subway stations, so I don’t think it’s too much of a hijack to throw in the FM _radio_ station in Rock Springs, Wyoming, KSIT - which they pronounce kiss-it. ---

THere are no subways in the greater D/FW Metromess and passenger rail service is almost as scarce, but we do have a radio station, \*\*KDBN, [The Bone](http://www.933thebone.com) \*\*. Their slogan is “Keep the Bone up!” and other similarly suggestive phrases 😃 ---

Western PA offers Beaver, Big Beaver, and New Beaver. Also Lickdale and Lickingville grace the map. If only those who named those towns would get together… ---

Rhubarb - Pfeh. In college I spent four years as a DJ for KUMM [[http://www.mrs.umn.edu/~kumm/](http://www.mrs.umn.edu/~kumm/)]. Home of such classics as “The only station that puts KUMM in your ear!” and “Don’t touch that dial - it’s got KUMM on it!” Ahh, those were good times… Of course, the “other” station in town was KKOK, which could be pronounced “cock” if you really wanted to… ---

Nobber, in the parish of Muff, is the world’s largest exporter of Furry Handbags. I still have the ticket for the pony raffle at the festival of Muff. ---

There’s a street near me called Flicker. The street sign, of course, is printed in all caps, and from a distance, especially from a moving car, the L and I can appear to run together to form a U: FLICKER [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/lewdly-suggestive-station-names-in-your-town/152409.md?page=1)
