Fronta na maso – Husákova stodola – Stalinova ponožka. Prague Non-standardized Urbanonymy as a Tool of Silent Resistance and Collective Humour in the Time of „Bright Tomorrows“
 Ptáčníková, Martina
The toponymy of the urban area seems to be a difficult structure with a lot of layers. It is created by standardized (official) names and also by non-standardized names. Non-standardized names rise spontaneously, they are used in spoken communication and sometimes they can even replace the official names. This paper focuses on non-standardized names used during the communist era. These names had a special functions: they ironized former regime and they were sort of a defense against re-naming of public spaces. The onomastics has not paid attention to these names yet, although they were really important. They had considerable social role as well as comic role and it is necessary to collect them. Only a small amount of the oldest people know them now. When eyewitnesses pass away, these names will disappear forever.
