Rude names
"Grape" Lanes were usually spelt with an "o" way back when, and were where the whores hung out (hence you'd go for a grope). Oddly, civic societies rarely try to point this out when demanding that the past is recreated...
Any other hidden rude names out there?

There was a gropec*nt lane in London which is where the rude word comes from if I haven't got my facts muddled

Not quite...
Cunt was already in use, and Gropecunt Lane was named so because the whores used to ply their trade there.
There was a 'Gropecunt Lane' or similar name in most major towns.

Yeah, cunt was originally a perfectly acceptable term
Cunnilingus means something along the lines of 'cunt-tongueing'.
