    Default No more Fucking

    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.

    and it only took them 900 years to realize it.....
