Vaguely Rude Place Names Map

FOSSA Status

Gentle Introduction

The Vaguely Rude Place Names Map is a simple-ish web mash up of places which, to the British sense of humour, sound vaguely rude and thus are, by definition, funny. If you're not British, it might be confusing why this is amusing.

Meanwhile, here's some blog posts which may, or may not, explain how the map came into being.

If you're interested, the Vaguely Rude Places Map is built out of the following, fabulous, open source components:

Building

Either fork or clone the master GitHub repository.

Install the map's dependencies.

$ npm install

Build the source.

$ grunt build

See also the Grunt dist target which builds a distributable tarball.

There's a rudimentary Ansible playbook in deploy which is currently targeted at the map's site at www.vaguelyrudeplacesmap.com. You'll want to edit the inventory file to point to your own server if you want to deploy this.
