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).

Double damn, I thought NPT stood for National Pipe Thread, the tapered thread used on plumbing fittings and pipe.

Up in Quebec there is a side road feeding onto a major route called Rue Dick

Those are petunias, VMan! Not morning glories... that being said, I am shocked that you would put such a filthy word on Fr. Everyone knows the double meaning of the word, “petunia”. Go wash out your mouth and the fingers you used on the keyboard, you bad, bad, boy.

Morning glory is a flower. What kind of idiocy is this?

A woman I worked with lived on Dick Lane. According to her, a few years ago, a lesbian couple moved in down the street and petitioned the city to change the name. The did. The new name? Cowboy Lane.

"sexually suggestive"

I've worked with women who did the same thing.

Those aren’t morning glories lol
those are petunias

[Darksheare]

It’s not my fault.

When my Grandparents lived in Michigan the guy who owned the big farm at the end of her road was named Milf, and so was the road.

Don’t know if they renamed the road or not yet, but I bet they have.

LOL, back in the day the Ridgid tool calenders were a much anticipated item every year at the shop.

Morning Glory Rd?

Yeah, I know where that is. It's in THIS subdivision....

Suggested name changes for the road:

Snail Trail
Darkhorse Street
Chordee Court
Chocolate Way
Gales Byway
Priapism Pkwy.
Scheissplatz
Sanchez Dr.

Mr. Johnson should consider changing his name. Maybe to Andy Dick.

Plus also the name of his company.

Xactware

X Actware.

X being the international term for porn, or sex.

So it looks like his company deals in X actware...condoms, "toys," etc.

They've gone from bad to worse with the name change

Reviewing the Urban Dictionary for the definitions

Morning Glory = Necessary before

Morning Vista = Possibility after (if proper precautions aren't taken)

Glockrocks, you should print out the UD definition for Morning Vista and go to the meeting and present it to them.

Really, trying to be so PC that they make it even worse! LOLOL

Somebody's messin' with ya. Those are petunias. Here's a morning glory ... foliage is very different:

[metmom]

Silly me.

I thought they meant this...

[Vigilanteman]

I stand corrected. That's what I get for putting "morning glory pictures" into a Google image search engine and picking what I thought was the most spectacular photo there.

P.S. Foliage may be different, but rabbits and sheep love eating them both

[ArrogantBustard]

I stand corrected.

I see ... everybody was dumping on you. Apologies for the pile-on.

I don't grow morning glories, and keep the petunias close to the house. Anything not close (and not fenced), the deer and groundhogs get.

And then I get the groundhogs ...
