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).
al baby!
If they didn’t Xactware was going to move to a city in Pennsylvania instead.
Either Bird-in-Hand, Climax, Jugtown, Intercourse, Noodle Doosie or Puseyville.
Wonder if any of them owns a Hummer?
Thus went the “pup tent” !
This friggin country has lost it’s ever lovin mind..... Gheeesh !
Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning
No one could be sweeter than my sweetie when I meet her in the morning
Where the morning glories
Twine around the door
Whispering pretty stories
I long to hear once more......

I work 5 miles north of Lehi. Perhaps I’ll drop in on the city council and surrender tomorrow morning, and submit encriminating evidence. It must be my civic duty, yes?
Morning Glory. I live just north, in Salt Lake County, and I have morning glory vines all down my east fence for the hummingbirds. I never thought of them as perverts... but now I’ll keep a wary eye out for them.
We need hummingbird control!
I know Leni, it’s like society has slipped (skidded) into middle-school mentality mode. Perhaps the aim of public schools is to develop the standard of thought around the 14 year old model.
It appears to have been very successful. Maybe I can get transcripts of the Lehi Council meetings, and assemble a montage of fart jokes to sell on eBay, and send all the proceeds to FR for the new thon!
Sounds tumescently female to me.
;^)
Thought morning glories were flowers. Their dirty minds cannot even keep the beautiful names for things.
OMG. Now that’s a little stupid. And a company pushing the issue is new to me.
OTOH, it’s partly from this sex-soaked society thinking every GD word has some sexual meaning. I mean, men can’t stop thinking every word refers to their precious appendages. It’s sick.
Meanwhile, in our Commie-world where the town thinks they are the greatest most enlightened ever, the stupid people on a tiny court near my parents’ home (thus where I grew up) just last year decided they COULD NOT go on being “Coon Hunt Court”. It is “racist”. After 40 years, they decided it’s racist. And it’s down the street from Raccoon Court. Wonder when that’s going to change? The new name, just recently updated - totally different “April Wind Ct”. It could’ve been “Coot Hunt Ct”, which is supposedly a legitimate work of art by the artist for whom much of our neighborhood streets were named. I.e., a mistake (this has happened a few years back, too, nearby - a mistake was finally corrected but that was all - “Satan Wood” to “Satin Wood”; at least it was similar).
Thanks, darlin Onyx. And a happy and prosperous New Year to you as well.
Gives “ping” a whole new meaning, yes?
Or not a “ping.”
YEAH.. REAL offensive.
Obviously, you have been sheltered from some crude language.
I know a Morning Glory when I see one and these are a form of Petunia called Million Belles...
You should be a member of the weekly FR Garden thread...
