Often, Metro stations will have their names on the walls obscured with a black marker to make it into another word. Somebody decided to do it to all the station names on this Metro map. After the marker had been taken to the map, "Atwater" became "twat", "Peel" became "Pee", "Jean-Drapeau" became "rape", and "Assomption" became "Ass".
