Ok, if one of the other moderators want to delete this due to it pushing some barriers, feel free to do so as I'll understand. But I've always just been mentally bamboozled over this one..

Cumming, Georgia.

Ok, now as completely conservative as rural Georgia towns are, you'd have thought that LONG ago when certain connotations of that particular word turned into dirty slang, that the town leaders would have immediately had a meeting to change the town name and have a town burning of all documents that contained the word in print on them. But they've always left it be, even though there is a road sign along the Interstate as you approach the town that has become somewhat of a tourist attraction that reads, "Cumming next 3 exists".



Carry on.
