Cul

I've only heard this as cul-de-sac, I didn't know it had another meaning

Cul-de-sac literally translates to "ass of bag" in french.

That's funny, here it's the name of a particular type of dead-end street.

That's also exactly what it means in French. We use cul de sac to describe dead-ends. :)

Yes. You could use dead-end instead of ass. That is just the origin of the term. It gets its name from the french.

I am also from this place you speak of where the term refers to a type of street.
