fucking, austria

people are so silly.

From the naughty toponyms archive comes the tale of a little town in Austria with a big problem keeping American tourists from stealing their street signs. Coming soon to a theater near you, it's Fucking, Austria!

The village is known to have existed as “Fucking” since at least 1070 and is named after a man from the 6th century called Focko. “Ing” is an old Germanic suffix meaning “people”; thus Fucking, in this case, means “place of Focko’s people”.

By the way:

Coincidentally there are two small municipalities just over the border in Bavaria, Germany called Petting and Kissing.

Here's the Wikipedia article, which I got to through a link to my Dildo, Newfoundland post on a Mercedesshop.com forum.

Dudes, I am a native of Austria and think that it is disrespectful to comment on a language without noing why they called that town Fucking. The town is called Fucking because that is a word that means raising young pigs. Austria is beautiful and wonderful in every way possible, even Fucking! The english word fucking is not even ment to be in comparisn with the german word fucking so please do some research and you will see that I am right. Next time don't judge a book by its cover.
By the way the sign is ment to tell drivers to slow down because there are schools near by so that kids can cross, it is just like the signs that say school crossing zone in America. PLEASE don't judge Austria!! Thank you!!

Whew, the bathing accessoire above seems to embody some quite humourless crab.

Being this region's aborigine (well, on the bavarian side), this isn't too surprising, in fact that joke's getting a little boring.

As much as i drew out of a local newspaper article once, Petting also has some fixed annual amount (think it was DM 6000 then) in the municipialitie's budget set aside for new signs.

BTW, "Petting 69" is also well known for being some continuous hook throughout the movie "Silentium", where the detective has to find out something about this mysterious note, which emerges to be the address of a house in... 'xactly.

Just watch an American movie, after 5 minutes somebody shouts fucking, give me a gun or I will kill you. What a society!
See what they do in Iraq every day - a final step from the games and entertainment industry. till

I love all these Austrians who think Anglophones are disrespecting their country/language with some giggles. They are the same ones who cannot greet my friend Timothy Ficken (which, in German, means, you guessed it, fucking) without pissing themselves.

been there...the residents were a little wary/annoyed with our presence, but we didnt steal anything, so they couldnt do anything about us being there. we drove up from munich, so they can sucking it. the town is so small and boring, what the hell else do they have to do but wait for the tourists they would otherwise not get? sell lemonade!
