@Dilliwala,

Sadly true.. But it is pronounced and used in Tamilnadu as what is written in "English Only" [ Cum - bum only hmmm].. To be frank, Till I found the name in our "funny Place names thread", I never felt odd using that name !!!


Cheers
Velu

Well if Batman is a funny name there's one right here in Melbourne. Batman was the white guy who arrived here and apparently said, "This is the place for a village". Some people wanted to call the place "Batmania". But all we have is a park, a railway station, some roads and statues to remind us of John Batman
