ZeroHedge: A small Austrian village has finally grown tired of its name of Fucking – a name it has held since the 11th century – and officially changed it this week…

New name is…Screwing? Shagging? Copulating? Hosing?
Feel free to add to the list.
I VISITED A TOWN CALLED FUCKING…
NO, THAT WAS OLONGAPO!!
“Fugging”? Really? It would have been great if they’d changed it to “F*cking”.
Hell, if I’d known it was there I would have made a point of visiting.
old fugging news
HMMMM…In his 1948 novel “The Naked and The Dead” Norman Mailer had all the characters say “fug”, “fug it”, “fug off” etc., in order to keep the censors off his back.
I assume if you lived in the town of Fucking you are a Fucker.
And if you live with your mother in that town that makes you a you know what.
“The small community in Upper Austria of around 100 people…”
Evidently they weren’t living up their name.
TimBukTu, not any reflection of what I think of you, but Norman Mailer is a major pig! I’ve read a couple of his books, one the “The Executioners Song” about Gary Gilmore. And he was also a central figure in Jack Henry Abbott being released from prison and he went on to write “In the Belly of the Beast”. Shortly after that Jack Henry Abbott stabbed a waiter to death.
On FB I was from Fucking, Austria for almost a decade.
The bot asked me where I was from. I was typing in, “Fuck You!”
And about the time I got F U C , it popped up: Fucking, Austria.
I clicked on it and left it as is.
They no longer have to pay Fucking taxes!
Dang, I guess the ” My Grandma went to Fucking Austria, and all I got was a lousy t-shirt” souvenir is just a Fucking dream now.
Sharing that tidbit far and wide.
And the name Fuchs is pronounced Fox. And Feuchtinger is pronounced #*&@#!
I hear the kids were forbidden to look at the big statue in the town square.
They could have changed their name sooner if they hadn’t screwed around so long.
Their final decision must have been the climax of the town meeting.
I’m guessing the town collectively just got sick of it after after the one billionth joke about its name, all with pretty much the same punch line.
That reminds me of the merger between Mothers Cookies and Schmuckers Jam.
My Petey B has fond memories of Fucking and Fucking is all he talks about when he’s in the presence of my unbleached elastic starfish!
What a fucking shame.
Maybe they thought they were going to Hell. No, not ‘the’ Hell, the town in MI, which under Whitmer is close.
Joe6pak, I agree with you about Norman Mailer. I read In The Belly Of The Beast in college 40 years ago when I took an upper level Sociology course. I was not impressed, he was an amoral scumbag who promoted every friggin liberal/progtard cause that he could. He also beat up his wives as well, I’ve never understood why the libs like the jerk in the first place. Except that they all share the same progressive/death wish dark view of human nature. Just like the commies they so idolize.
What about the more politely named town of Intercourse, Pennsylvania. There is also a town in Norway named Hell as well.
The map in the article highlights some other pretty amusing names!
Where is the real Alice Parker and what have you done with her!!
“To get to Paradise, you have to go thru Intercourse.”
In PA, that is.
I live in Cumming
The theft of signs was costing them a fortune !
May I insert Dildo Newfoundland into this thread?
should change it to Blowjob.
@Jeff and Joe
I definitely agree. Norman Mailer was a major league prick and a far left liberal. The single good thing about him was that he didn’t like queers, or said he didn’t. If he was still alive today he would have to toe the party line about that, however.
I have never read any of his novels, but I know about them. I haven’t read a novel since 1994.
Why not change it to “Hitlerville”. It’s in Austria. Hitler was born in Austria. There’s a connection there.
The question for the Fucking mayor and council is: Would fewer people come here or would more people come here?
