Fucking, Austria
Tuesday, 16th January 2007 by Alex Turnbull
Yes, there really is a place in Austria called Fucking. In fact they liked the name so much, it seems that they also have several Fucking roads. Which f**king road would you live on?
Update: Welcome Boingboingers! We've had lots more funny placenames in the comments here, and yet more at Boing Boing, and now somebody's located this excellent list of interesting or unusual place names on Wikipedia (and yes, there's rude ones in there too!)

Do they have a Fucking hotel? I do understand that Fucking can be quite nice, especially in the summer.
How about “DRY PRONG” Louisiana
In Kent, England, there is a town called Pratt’s Bottom.
Guess you could say it’s at the arse end of Britain.
hehe
It really does exsist it’s FUCKING amazing!!!
What the fuck!! I’ll be fucked!! Oh well, fuck me!! 🙂
I have not seen Fucking yet. Imagine that, and I’m 50 years old too! However, I’ve been driven a coulple times to” Ballarat”. I understand you can travel to Bosnia,and see” Puke” too. If you want to go Ballarat ,then,Fucking,Puke, go ahead!
I love to drive in that Fucking Road….drive so fast that the local Fucking police will chase me…lol
Well, here in Switzerland we have a city called “Gland” which means penis knob (it means acorn as well), so everyone who speaks French want to come there just to make fun of the name. And next to Gland, we have a village which name is Apples (not funny for the ones who don’t speak English).
In Geneva there’s a main street called “Chantepoulet” which means “sing chicken!”
And don’t forget the famous French city of Brest

There’s a place in Australia called Iron Knob, or you could head down to Woodenbong, which funily enough is near Potsville. The fishing is excelent in Knob creek and of course theres also Sydney, what a sh#t hole.
I passed though Climax Springs MO a few years back, made a stop at the Little Climax Meat Market too.

I’ve been to Fucking, Austria a few times when I’ve had visitors. It’s good for photos, but it’s a tiny village. There is no Fucking hotel, no Fucking gas station, nothing.

We here in Michigan while driving in south and east love to take the “Big Beaver” exit…apropriately numberd 69! 😉
There is an Intercourse, Pennsylvania. And a bunch of Licking Creeks and Licking Creek Roads in PA and Maryland.

Ah, but Oregon has the great city of Bend, as in Bend OR.
There’s a place in Orkney, Scotland called Twatt
In North Lincolnshire, England there is a town called Scunthorpe.
Hey! I live in Scunthorpe 🙂 shit place, but pleased it made it on here :):)
And in Newfoundland, Canada, there is a town called Dildo.
Damm. Now I’m going to spend the rest of my day looking for this stuff.
Besides Intercourse, Pennsylvania, there is also Bird-In-Hand and Blue Ball. I’ve always assumed that it was their up tight Amish / Mennonite back grounds and Freudian frustrations that led to naming these towns. Perhaps it is the Germanic heritage instead. Ooo. I just pissed off the Austrians.
Don’t forget about “Virginville” PA, my mother in law was born there……………..
Heh. I live in Morehead, Kentucky, which is near the Licking River. I’ve had websites refuse Morehead, telling me to enter a “real” place name.
I also liked it. Fucking road what a good name of the street.Realy want to see it and travel on it
Don’t forget Big Bone Lick state park in Kentucky. In Michigan on I-94 there is a road called Lover’s Lane right before the exit to Climax.
There’s a town in Irian Island of Indonesia called FAKFAK. pronounced exactly the you guessed it…

So what are the residents’ mothers called?
Come to Northern KY for a Beaver Lick!
Looking back on history A. Hitler leaves Austria and turns into a Fucking disaster.
The name comes from the family named Focko dated as far back as 1070 ad. From what I understand the name evloved to fuck! threw generations of miss pronouncing the orginal name, they changed it to fuck. something everyone could say easily. and when they started the village the ing was added to their name. hense Fucking, Austria so the word fuck is not a curse word!!
I wonder if they have as much fun in Fucking, Austria as they do in Intercourse, PA.
In the central region of Malawi there’s a place called “Kachindamoto” which means “the one who fucks fire” I wonder how they do that.
& in South Africa in Johannesburg there’s a subarb called “Los Ma Cherry” which means “Lost My Cherry”
