No more Fucking

[Tranquillus in Exile]

The village of Fucking in Upper Austria will be changing its name after villagers decided they had had enough of visitors and their bad jokes.

English-speaking tourists had been coming to take photographs of themselves in front of the village signpost. Some had even taken the signs away. “We will not stand for the Fucking signs being removed,” the local police chief said.

From January 1 the village will be Fugging.

Well, the term we know is derived from the German language and has little to do with what it became known elsewhere.

Upper Austria could just dump the worthless German language, and primarily adopt English. Then they could enjoy the name as much as we do.
