The Telegraph:
The 104 residents of the village will cast their votes later this week on whether to alter the name.
“People are now willing to discuss changes to the spelling of the name,” Franz Meindl, the village’s mayor, said in a television interview. “But first all Fuckingers have to agree on whether want to change it or not.” For centuries the tiny village in northern Austria lived life in happy obscurity, but life changed when US troops, stationed in the area at the end of the Second World War, discovered it, and since then the village’s name has been a constant source of amusement for tourists and irritation for locals.
At least 13 £250 road signs bearing the village’s name have been stolen, and the sight of semi-naked women posing for photographs beside signs has become a common sight.
Brings to mind the “interestingly” named Canadian town of Dildo.
…or the town of Twatt in Scotland.
Why don’t they simply sell town signs to anyone who wants one? All they’d have to do is put one up for an hour or so, and certify it as genuine.
The Fuckingers!
In Ireland there’s a Muff in Donegal and Nad in Cork.
And watch how you pronounce Bad Axe, MI and Pysht, WA
It would be so funny for someone to ask where you’re from. You’d answer ” I’m from Fucking Austria”, lol.
