Fresh out of Lehi Utah, a road named "Morning Glory" has been unanimously voted to have a name change because, duh, morning glory means having an erection in the morning people! I've never even heard it used that way and I'm pretty sure that's not common slang at all. These people are so focused on repressing sexuality that EVERYTHING becomes sexual to them!

Mormons make me laugh.

Hahahahaha

As an old guy, I thought I had heard every sexual reference there is. Thanks to these blue-nosed, pious folks, I now know one more!

There's a street on the Gold Coast Australia called Hooker Boulevard. No one cares. I guess you have to be thinking of sex all the time to see it in a street as innocently named as Morning Glory.

Yeah- used to go to the IndyCar-nival races down there. Never went to one, but I know there are licensed brothels in both Brisbane & Gold Coast. Maybe that's where the name came from?

I think it's a real estate developer's name.

Morning Wood

+1... that's all I've ever heard for it

It's a pretty well known term in the UK. Maybe that's why the Daily Mail picked up the story

DailyMail has been reporting on a whole lot of stuff out of Utah lately and a lot of it makes Mormons look ridiculous. I wonder if one of their editors is on a personal campaign since Romney

Apparently Bong was a famous airman of some sort.

I've lived on one with a Bong theatre.

The road name was Swallow Wood Drive. And about morning glory; we had a large vegetable garden when I was a kid. We had this pesky vine my mom always wanted me to tear out. It was called morning glory. I've never heard the term used any other way.

Superior, WI, is home of the Bong Bridge.

My husband's grandparents live on Stoner Street in a tiny town in rural MN.

Buy BYU Cougar shirts and other gear in hopes that they become discontinued collectables then?

The YBU 'Nephites'???

That's it! A new slang term. Thanks Utah mormons.

You guys all enjoy your morning glory. Just know that morning glory is also considered a noxious weed. Except for the blue variety.

The article I read said the software company relocating from calif wanted the name changed.

This article says the company headquarters is located in Orem, eigth paragraph.

The "morning glory" is a common flowered plant which blooms early in the day and closes at night. Until this thread I had never heard the term "morning glory" referring to an erection. Perhaps it is a term in the UK but not in the US.

In Connecticut there is a street named: Hooker Street after a famous man named "Thomas Hooker" who came from that town.

I use to sometimes work with guy that would say to me, *Morning Wood*, then at least snicker. I finally drug it out of him as to why. My nickname? Woody

My BIL says, * but DON'T call me Dick*

A high school friends step dad said, *just call me Dick*. I had the most difficult time saying that.

Really folks? Get your mind out of gutter. Me included.

I always use the term "morning glory" in reference to my first duke of the day.

Morning glory refers to the "have to take a piss erection" that one experiences upon first awakening. I've from California and we used this term as teenagers/young adults.

I'm learning a lot of sexual slang from Utah news stories.

A while ago a high school in Provo voted against calling their sports team "Cougars" because a "cougar" is an older woman hitting on younger guys.

Now I know what a morning-glory is.

A suburb in Brisbane Australia called Inala has bird themed names. Swallow and Thrush streets intersect.

There used to be an underground railroad station on top of a hill that was in my town growing up. It was wooded around the top, but had bee cleared around the sides for pasture land, and had a clear view for miles. Escaped slaves could hide in the top, and see bounty hunters long before they got there. I just mentioned this, because for a very long time, the official name of the hill was N----r Hill. I will let you guess what letters go in the blank spaces.

The city finally got around to changing the name in the very late 90s.

So what am I supposed to tell people when they ask me what that gorgeous blue flower is that's growing on my mailbox?

I've been ruined. I can no longer say the name without laughing.
