You CAN think of something better.
Even if your mind is completely testosterone poisoned into the gutter. You can look about life and find other aesthetic, symbolic and inspiring words to use.
Our sons, daughters, wives, girlfriends, etc. deserve a better world.
Thank you for being better than Beavis and Butthead.

Spider's right. For those of you who just can't help yourselves, there are many other ways to show you're a no class moron than fixing a permanent name on a route.

There is a line between SNAG and Asshole-That-Has-Sexual/Relationship-Angst-and-Names-a-Route-as-Consequence.
Carry on.

Thank you. There is also a difference between bawdy and sexist. One, OK; the other, not so much.

LoL. Spider Savage, I used to think so too years ago and asked Dan what up with all the not just crass sexism but pure sex and more, names of routes.
Took a while for me to come to the realization that it's a climbers world and if they have the nads to do the first ascent they can name it what ever. :) lynnie

Seize control and distribute your own (cheaper/better) guide, with the offending names sanitized!
Even better, lead by example and put up your own routes with cooler names.
Beavis and Butthead give great innuendo and are low on the scale of disgusting route names.

Was that a back-handed jab from Mr. Nice?
Things may heat up here in Properville!

The City of Rocks guides comes to mind, but the wondrous & crass names live on in infamy.

Down with respectability! What would our sport be without classic Vulgarian route names like MF, Fellatio, Turdland, Dicks Prick, or Interlewd? Some of these date from the 50's! Do people have no regard for tradition anymore? How about the Sheep Ranch? Would you modern day Carrie Nations want to erase the names of uber-classic and hair-raising pitches such as Liz is Tight and High Boots on a Full Moon Night from the history books? Climbing is not a sport for conformists or the politically correct. It used to be something that you were not supposed to do, and that was a large part of its appeal for many of us. Semper Farcissimus - bitches.

My answer to route naming: Employ double entendre much like Rock and Roll does for saying what you want without being labeled as any of these "low life boys". Choose a figure of speech or a particular way of wording that is devised to be understood in either of two ways, having a double meaning.
Example: Rachael Lynn put up a climb called Bitch Therapy. I commented I liked the name but was a little surprised she choose that name.
On a later FA of mine with she and Zach she challenged me, "Can you think of a name better than Bitch Therapy ? I soon replied, "Bitch Muscle."
On a later date while at the base of Bitch Muscle with 2 women of totally different mind-sets I was ask the name of this line. The first women found the name quite funny and second woman called me out on this name as being very disgusting and ask me what it could mean. I replied that the name had several interpretations and that wherever she went with it, "Disgusting?? YOUR MIND TOOK YOU THERE" as I offered no interpretation as to the meaning of the name.
And so, "A Dare to Ms. Dangerpants."

This is a troll right or have you been hanging at Owens?
Seriously, you were trolling, right?
If not I do not support the extension of the pussy-fying of the taco to route names.
