....a village called "Fu*king"!!

Dudes, you're not gonna believe this but there is actually a village in this world who's name is spelled as 'F-U-C-K-I-N-G". What's up with that?!?!?!





It's a small town in Austria which lies on the Austrian border.
However I later found out that the word isn't pronounced the way you'd think it is (thank god lol). It's pronunciation rhymes with "booking". Nevertheless, it never stopped people from stealing signs displaying the town's name. I mean, who wouldn't steal a board that says, "WELCOME TO FUCKING!"
Wait! There's more:
The villagers are referred to as "fuckingers".
Hahaha the joke keeps going on and on:
A villager tried selling T-shirts with the double-meaning quote, "I like fucking in Austria".

One of the many sign-boards that frequently gets stolen
However I respect the village's determination to stick with their traditional name. They defend their heritage saying, "Everyone here knows the meaning in English. But for us Fucking is Fucking- and it is going to stay Fucking". I like their spirit. Hats off!
