The surprising ones I found:

    Butthole Lane, Shepshed, Loughborough, Leicestershire LE12 9BN, UK

    Fanny Ho, Lancashire, United Kingdom

    The Cock Of Arran, Scotland, United Kingdom

    Wankers Corner Saloon and Cafe, Wilsonville, Oregon, United States

    Felch, Michigan (Dickinson), United States

Surprising because these are in an English speaking country, and you'd think these way ruder ones would have had their names changed already.

In the US, "wanker" is not common slang and is mainly only known by fans of British comedy.

Wankers Corner Saloon and Cafe, Wilsonville, Oregon

That's where the bar moved to a few years ago. The actual location is in West Linn, OR - right next to a school. I used to drive by there every day, and I'm happy to report that no wankings were sighted.

Lot's of places with name Brest: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brest

By the way, why this word is offensive?

What's "Vaguely Rude" about "Tosa"? (I'm serious, I don't get it)

Tosser. Aka a wanker.
