No idea. Perhaps it's a Lancashire thing?

Though it may have been in the West Riding pre 1974:

Cocklick End Inhabitants

1840

Occupier listed in "A Collection of the Ear Marks and Wool Marks of Sheep in the Counties of Lancaster and York - Easington Township" as Ambrose Slinger

It gets worse, must have been those long cold winters:

"Down through Gisburn Forest to a little strath called Bottoms. Stooping very low now to add that Cocklick End is in the next square and Tosside is the nearest village."

no idea. Perhaps it's a lancashire thing?

Aye, there's some corkers in Bowland! Cocklick End was always in Lancashire. But 'Thick Sod Holes' and 'Queen of the Fairies Chair' were in the West Riding of Yorkshire, pre 1974 - both on the N flanks of Burn Moor, just S of High Bentham - OS 1:25,000.
There again, we've got a Burn Moor and a Burn Fell; both are that wet and sodden that the chance of ignition is zero!!

Sad news from Washington State. Squaw Tit is no more. It's PC gone mad, I tell ye:

"Of the 33 geographic features in the state of Washington that bear this name (squaw), surely the worst example has to be Squaw Tit Hill, also near Yakima. The state board is in the process of changing that name to another word favored by the local tribe, P'ushtay, which means red peak. As the state board replaces offensive names, it looks for new words that reflect both Indian and pioneer history and culture. This evolution does not detract from, but rather enhances, our efforts to learn from the past."

But Burn is another name for a stream, given that it's wet up there this is logical..
