Folks on a street in New Jersey say they are getting the shaft.

The residents are upset about a plan by Clifton town leaders to extend the name Dick Street so a continuation of the route now called Ellsworth Street will also have the suggestive name.

People whose homes are on the potentially rechristened stretch fear they will be humiliated every time they are asked where they live.

“People laugh when they think of Dick Street,” resident Kenneth Roman told WNBC-TV. “They can name it anything they want, except for Dick Street.”

Dick and Ellsworth are part of a contiguous three-block thoroughfare. Two segments have been named Dick Street for decades, but once the road crosses Howard Avenue the name changes to Ellsworth.

Officials think it is confusing for emergency responders to have one road with two names, thus the plan to turn the whole thing into Dick Street.

“The decision to rename the one section of Ellsworth Street to Dick Street is to prevent delays in emergency responses,” Clifton City Manager Dominick Villano told The Post. “Personally, my concern is safety first rather than ridicule of renaming a street.”

Ellsworth Street resident Anil Ranas dreads the prospect of having Dick Street emblazoned on his driver’s license, and fears the change will drive down his property’s value.

“I don’t want to screw up my life,” he told WNBC.

The City Council will vote on the name change Tuesday.
