local businesses with horribly formed "names"

There's an optometrist here called AccessorEyes.

Dog grooming shop called 'Going To The Dogs'. As it's a shop and not a mobile service are they just saying their shop is run-down and shit?

not a horrible name, but a marquee. Local Animal Hospital has a marquee that says

"WATCH ME SNIP
WATCH ME SPAY SPAY"

no

Gross.

felt so ripped off. there were no gold in them trenches

If your poo is gold, you need to get the fuck out of Lollapalooza or whatever and see a doctor ASAP.

I recently discovered that there’s a gift shop in NJ called Flowers in the Attic.

This is probably less a horribly-formed 'name' than it is an inexplicable-yet-amazing combination of name + business purview but

Life For Christ Karate Ministries

I see all sorts of religion out there on the dojo.

Granted, it runs a little more Eastern than whatever this is:

i'm always driving when i pass this place so no photos but here is their website

http://ubadautodetail.com/

i kind of like the name but i'm not usually in the market for auto detailing. in fact i don't actually know what "auto detailing" entails.

It's not a local company, but a North American roofing business based out of Pennsylvania... but...

Every morning I drive past the local facility and every morning, I think about the 100% fabricated marketing conversation that my head insists on replaying:

CEO: I don't just guarantee we've got the lowest price – I certaintee it!

MARKETING GUY: Ok. I like it. But first, first, "certaintee" isn't really a word, and secondly –

CEO: Well I know that! I just made it up!

MARKETING GUY: Secondly, if it really was a word, how would it come to mean a more intense version of "guarantee"? It seems problematic, espe–

CEO: Fuck it! You know what, smart guy? That word's that's not a word is the new name for the company! How's that for an "intense version"? Haha, IT'S GODDMAMMED CERTAINTEED FROM NOW ON.

Now, Watchpity, for losers who can't go to the awards shows but have to be on time to watch them on TV with acquaintances...

hey watchpital! i'm walkin' here!

Not quite on topic, but calling a strip club ‘Burke and Hare’ (in Edinburgh) is kind of dark, maybe over honest?

I mentioned this elsewhere but I enjoyed seeing a business called "STAMP TRAMP - mobile notary."

Fisticuts Barbershop.

there is a t-shirt printing business called "Hittn' Skins" here

a dumpster rental place called "Bin There Dump That"

a shoe store simply called "Shoooz"

a formal wear store with the unfortunate name "T & A Formal Wear"

and a dumpster rental called "Kenny G the Dumpster King"

Incredible

On Brick Lane yet another place has opened in honour of our old prostitute murderer, this time a chip shop called Jack the Chipper. Slightly worried that the council might eventually get around to making us all have a play on his name at some point. (For example: About a year and a half ago they opened the Turkish barbers ‘Jack the Clipper’)

you used your finger to press myyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Not going to subject my phone's browser to the preceding 900+ posts, but just in case no one has mentioned the many, many dog groomers who name their business "Doggy Style" I'll go ahead and nominate them all, and pray that they someday break free from the tacky shackles of awful taste that bind them.

Yesterday, I learned of a nail salon called Finger Bang

Somewhere there's a hubcap shop with a pun on rimming in its name and no, I will not google it.

Not really horribly formed, pretty funny actually.

More dog-related content (and funny).

Good stuff.

Hardly spectacular pun-making, but there's a food van I pass on my current regular cycle route called 'Simply Bread'. The van is red, of course.

"We conspire to serve you great ribs!'

Québécois version:

The Office québécois de la langue française has incidentally launched an investigation into it.

Apparently their menu features the 'Phô King Cochon' (fucking pig, but 'cochon' can also mean 'racy'), 'Phô King Deal', 'cock-tails', 'Flash Thé Saint' (i.e. 'flash tes seins', flash your tits), 'Lichi Mwa Lku' ('lèche-moi le cul', lick my ass) and the self-explanatory 'Pho Ktup'. SHOCKING!!!

Similarly there's a furniture retailer here in the east end of Glasgow called 'Sofa King'... "sofa king cheap" etc.
