Bob Harris Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) Pretty amusing, no question. What came to mind is, that we do have a larger city called Darmstadt - that'd be Guttown. And I just found out that there is a very tiny village - around 100 people - in Austria named F*cking. No offense, that's the original name, no translation!

Rad Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Yeah I've heard of F*cking! But being a 40 year old virgin... I think the bbc recently did an article on the town. Apparently the townsfolk don't appreciate the joke. That's Austria! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Harris Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Yeah I've heard of F*cking! But being a 40 year old virgin... Sir, with that sentence you officially made my day! I guess the thing is, that the english expression "f*cking" isn't that well known in German-speaking regions for the elder generations. Otherwise there might be a petition to actually change that name. But as I see it, the town got its name from the founder named Focko. Adding the suffix "ing" - as in "ting", an assembly, often used in Germanic societies - just says, that it's kind of a settlement. But it's still pretty funny after all!
