What's in a Prague street name

Slepá II was built in 1935.

This is, predictably, the sequel to yesterday’s https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2026/03/18/prague-4-day-336-slepa-i/.

So here’s some vocabulary to compensate.

The ‘slepé střevo’ is the blind gut, or the caecum, which is joined to the appendix. If you can hear a sound right now, it’s me realising it’s taken me until 2026 to realise why ‘Blinddarmentzündung’ is German for ‘appendicitis’.

‘Slepá víra’ is exactly what it is in English – blind faith – and a ‘slepý náboj’, ‘slepá nábojnice’ or ‘slepá patrona’ would be a blank shell (or a ‘dummy’).

To finish off, let’s listen to a Slovak classic.
