Topic: Three words only?

I just found out about this service which randomly assigns 3 words to every 3m x 3m square on the planet:

http://what3words.com

You can click around the map and find out what 3 words identify a location.  For example, "slowing horrid delusions" is at Autobahn Country Club, and "sizzle requiring fluid" sits on the hill on the main straight at Road America.

I was amused at the appropriateness.  It's fun to see what combinations get assigned to prominent landmarks.

I also found the following at Autobahn:
motor streak potentially
spinning irritation sounds
performance roughly abnormal
gears denouncing matches

and my favorite:
pastry recovery workspace

Apparently this thing agrees that I'm underpaid. The closest I could estimate the exact location of my office at work is called "Overdue Gold Boulders."

The opposite for me.... "Penny Agenda Bath" where I work.

The tollboth near my house is humorous... Eastbound we have "Desire Fiat Impact" and "Taker Chip Many". Westbound is "Scam Laying Clubs".

Hmmm...

The Rusty Hub's New World HQ features some of the following:

beers.store.loaded
loser.gosh.star
topic.upon.swap
jokes.types.falls

Sounds like I bought the right piece of property.

EDIT: The current TRHHQ is "rally.cross.asking"

The answer is "Yes."
