An Austrian town name Fucking.




This is the name of an actual town-in Austria. 

As you might imagine, English speaking tourists have long had a field day stealing the sign, at such inconvenience to the town that a vote was held in 2004 to change its own name. The residents resisted doing so-a memorable quote from the proceedings came from the mayor at the time: "[e]veryone here knows what it means in English, but for us Fucking is Fucking—and it's going to stay Fucking."
So there.
Just to be fair in German the word sounds like 'foo-king'.
