Maori place names?

[peasea]

I did see an interesting cow, I guess I just expect too much in the way of entertainment eh

I think you'll find that in the 'Naki the cows ARE the entertainment.

Mooooving on...........

Now, just for some balance, here's some British place names to mull over...

You forgot Six Mile Bottom.

Then there's the best street name in the world.

There's a spot in the Phoenix Park in Dublin called The Furry Glen, be hilarious if there was a Big Penis next to that one.

Gudday everyone. Just though I'd jump in on this one. Tutaenui seem most likely to be named for the place where a shark was gutted, the place being where the Tutaenui stream enters the Rangitikei river. The story has been embelished to include the shark turning into a taniwha and moving to the Whanganui river. The taniwha was named Tutaeporoporo, poroporo being a type of edible shrub, also poroporo -ahi means farewell, so the translation is a little vague. My feeling is if Maori had meant for the name to be shit, they could have used many other words, but tutae seems to mean more entrails, waste. Of course, the shark could have provided a great feast, afterwards many great shits were required!
Of course, my old man reckons the name is a reference to the weather..
