I think the best placename in the whole of St John's is Wash Ballocks, right at the bottom of Signal Hill. Some old charts, maybe as an attempt to avoid the suggestion that you'll get your bollocks washed here if you're not careful, wrote the name as "Wash-Ball Rocks." That's not much different, really, but it at least offered the polite suggestion that, say, cannonballs were in the water. Yeah yeah. This was yesterday afternoon, before the wind pushed the pack ice into the harbour.
