What does the word 'Piccadilly' make you think of?
It’s a pretty irrelevant question, but my band class is playing this song called the chimes of liberty, and everytime we play it, I think of the color pink and the word Piccadilly. So, I was wondering what Piccadilly makes other peoples think of.

What doesn’t it make me think of?
Piccadilly is the name of a liquor store chain near me.
a circus, liqor, and erm everything. No colors? O! and tea, couldn’t forget the leaf-water.
This is the first thing that came to mind.
Shitty restaurants in Florida.
Billy Idol and Generation X. the only time i’ve heard of Piccadilly is in Kiss Me Deadly by them.
I think of Piccadilly Circus. Too many lights. But I don’t go to Times Square, either.
Piccadilly Circus, crappy restaurants in Texas and a Morrissey song, “Piccadilly Palare” – which is a term for a certain type of gay slang from the 60s (i think), used in a BBC programme.
Benihana restaurant. We did an analysis of the restaurant’s international locations (specifically the U.K.) in my Operations Management course last semester. One of the locations was Piccadilly.
:/ Ugh college
London, and if I’m hungry dilly pickles.
A London circus for me too.
Always makes me think of piccalilly, a condiment my Southern-born mother favored.
The Tube line in London that takes you to Heathrow Airport.
ratatouille or something with pickles and peppers.
Kind of- browsing stalls.
@Knotmyday – Now, browsing stalls makes me think of Covent Garden.
Pick a dilly. A Dilly is a snot. To pick a dilly would be to pick snots from one’s nose.
@Knotmyday – Oooh, and then afterwards we can go to The Harp for a pint! Bob! How I miss London.
@Jeruba
I also think of piccalilli.
Well, a Flea Circus of course. Spare no expense.

Be very carefull not to confuse it with this or you could get yourself in trouble for not being pc!!
@scamp That could be quite embarrassing… especially in reference to the circus. I can imagine someone’s child in one of those “I can’t believe my kid just said that” moments, proudly telling a stranger that he/she is “Going to the Pickaninny circus!”
