A Town Named Fucking
Are the residents called Fuckers?
What are the mothers called?
What would you be learning at the Fucking High School?
Does the Fucking Hospital help you with anything else?
If your friend came from this town, he would be known as your Fucking friend.
The village is known to have existed as “Fucking” since at least 1070 and is named after a man from the called Focko. “-ing” is an old Germanic suffix indicating the people of the root word to which it is attached; thus Fucking means “(place of) Focko’s people.” The village has a population of 93.
GERMANS NOT AMUSED
Here are a few excerpts from a newspaper article which are funnier than the sign.
British tourists have left the residents of one charming Austrian village effing and blinding by coonstantly by stealing the signs for their oddly named village. While British tourists are finding it hilarious, the residents of Fucking are failing to see the funny side.
Only one kind of criminal ever stalks the 32 house village - cheeky British tourists armed with a sense of humor and a screwdriver. But the local authorities are hitting back with the signs now in concrete. “We will not stand for the Fucking signs being removed” the officer said. “It may be very amusing for you British, but Fucking is simply Fucking to us. What is the big Fucking joke? It is puerile.”
A local tourist guide said, “The Germans want to see the Mozart house in Salburg. Americans seem to care only about Sound Of Music (the 1965 film shot around Salzburg). The ocassional Japanese want to see Hitler’s birthplace in Braunau. But for the British, its all about Fucking.”
Guesthouse managers describe the village’s breathtaking lakes, forests and vistas. Yet there is the obsession about Fucking. “Just this morning I had to tell an English lady who stopped by that there were no Fucking postcards,” exclaimed a guesthouse manager.
“Germans not amused” ??? As you pointed out, Fucking is in Austria, not Germany. Clearly the Austrians are not amused. We Germans just share the joke with everybody else.
That’s fucking funny.
Thank God it’s only a town, not a city or a country.
Wonder what they call their town exhibition hall?
Is there any church??
….and if you had a herd of bulls go thru the town, that messed as they went….that would be “f….king bullshit” and if you had politicians living in the town….??? the list is endless…!!!
