First it was Puke. Now it's F--king.
Yes, another village has decided to stay with a decidedly odd name.
Earlier we told you about the town of Puke deciding against changing its name.
Now the Austrian village of F--king (the hyphens are for propriety’s sake, not part of the name, according to town signs) has seen an increase in the disappearance of town signs.
A spokesman says, "Everyone here knows what it means in English, but for us F--king is F--king – and it's going to stay F--king – even though signs keep getting stolen."
F--king newspaper editor Menhardt Buzasa said, "F--king is universal. Germans use it as much now as the British, and it also means the same to the Americans, Australians and anyone in the English speaking world."
Just an FYI: F--king is near the towns of Vomitville and Windpassing.
Those Austrians must have a hell of a social life.
