LEHI, Utah — The Lehi City Council recently approved a request to change the name of one of its roads, and the reason might be a sexual connotation. The city council unanimously approved the renaming of Morning Glory Road to Morning Vista Road in a December 11 meeting. The name change was requested by a company called Xactware, who is constructing a new building on the street. Lehi City Council meeting notessay that the company requested the name change to fit with their "International Corporate image." In article from the Daily Herald, Lehi Councilman Mark Johnson says the company was concerned about the term "morning glory" and its association with one of its unofficial definitions. "Morning glory," as defined by the Urban Dictionary, has a sexual connotation. The Urban Dictionary's definition is a crude description of an actual medical phenomenon called nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT).
Though petunia sounds sexier.
Plus, Morning Glory is a commonly abused hallucinogen...
Well, with that thought process: Couldn’t one’s Morning Vista be of their Morning Glory?
“Natural Pencil Tune Scene”? Better put on the old reading glasses.....Godfrey Daniels!......the things they vote on at city council meetings.
I live on Babcock Road. Should I be worried?
In the Bewitched TV show....Samantha and Darrin Stephens lived on Morning Glory Circle. Now they will have to edit all those episodes.
Of course, with Darren #2, that would have another meaning, I guess
On the other hand, isn’t Mourning Glory the antonym of Morning Glory?
Talk show host Hugh Hewitt often greets his callers, saying “morning glory,” and they reply, “evening grace”—or vice versa. I didn’t know that this had a sexual connotation.
I thought a Morning Glory was a type of flower.
lol. That’s one HOT glory hole!
There are numerous Morningwood Lanes, Drives, Streets, etc in the country.
Guess I’ll move to Lehi if this is all they have to worry about.
That close to The Grand Tetons they let just about anything else pass...
‘When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’
‘The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’
‘The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s all.’
It was also a movie with Rachel McAdams and Harrison Ford. I’ll have to watch it again....I think I must have missed something.
ROTFL. Yeah, we’re surrounded by idiots! It’s unbelievable!
Happy, HEALTHY, hopeful and I pray, “prosperous” New Year to you and your precious family, dearest glock!
Lehi Councilman Mark Johnson changes last name over sexual connotation!
Might as well name it: Pee The Bed Road.
Just what were these people thinking? Morning Glory? That means an erection? Wait, and that’s a bad thing? Wait, that means a morning erection?
A morning erection is probably as natural as the sunrise. What the hell are these people thinking?
No, wait. Not only have I never heard the term, I think Morning Glory is a wonderful name, and a wonderful vine, which attracts hummingbirds. Is the Lehi council comprised of fourteen-year-olds, sitting around making fart jokes while their wi-fi reboots so they can X-box some more?
I give up on the human race.
