    Well, since village names are proper nouns one should capitalize the first letter. Well, let's start

    Мошонки - Scrotums.
    Хачики - "хачик" is abusive nickname of people from Caucasus and Middle Asia.
    Пысса - doesn't ring a bell to me, maybe they found it funny because it sounds like "писать" - to wee.
    Попки - Butts.
    Единственное, что люди любят давать бесплатно - это советы.

    Well, this isn't really a village, it's more of a city, but I've always like the name Nizhnevartovsk. It's such a cool name and it's fun to say
