There’s a Village in Austria with the Name ‘F**king’ 

There’s a certain village in Austria that’s become popular with tourists in recent years.

Not because it’s particularly beautiful over there or because the food there is especially tasty.

Rather, it’s because the village is named F**king.

Even worse, their residents used to be known as F**kingers.

Now, whether you’re a 12-year-old or 82-year-old, this is objectively funny.

But to residents? Not so much. 

Increasing numbers of English tourists have been stopping by the village to take pictures of themselves by the signpost, sometimes striking lewd poses.

If any picture is going to get likes on Instagram, it’s one of you and your friends striking sex poses next to an actual signboard with the word “F**king.”

Some jokesters have even stolen the signboard, forcing the authorities to use theft-resistant concrete when erecting replacements.

Tired of all the jokes and mockery, villagers of F**king have decided to make a drastic change.

Village with the Name ‘F**king’ Changing Its Name to Fugging After too Many Bad Jokes

Yes, they’ve changed their name to Fugging.

Reader: Ah yes, that’s much better…

“I can confirm that the village is being renamed,” said Andrea Holzner, the mayor of Tarsdorf, the municipality to which F**king belongs.

“I really don’t want to say anything more – we’ve had enough media frenzy about this in the past,” she told a regional news outlet Oberoesterreichische Nachrichten (OOeN).

Not everyone is happy about the move, though.

“Don’t people have any sense of humour these days?” asked one OOeN reader.

“They’re getting free publicity – they ought to have been happy to have a funny name,” another said.

The current name, F**king, dates back to the 11th century, according to some experts.

It was reported that the village was first inhabited from around 1070, and a map from 1825 used the spelling Fuking.

It’s a sad day for tourists hoping to take a picture in front of the signboard when travel (hopefully) returns next year.

But they’ll have to settle for something less crude instead.

Fugging hell.
