F This Town!

The prank calls were the last straw.

The Sun reports that residents of F--king, Austria are set to vote on whether to change their town's name.

And just to be clear, we are dashing out the "u" and "c" for the sake of our more sensitive readers. This town bears the same name as one of those words you're not supposed to mention on TV or in the classroom.

For residents of this Central European town, it's been hell -- and that should not be confused with a small hamlet in Michigan that's actually called "Hell."
The constant sign-stealing and mockery from tourists have rubbed many locals the wrong way.

"The only problem is that we need all of the F--king residents to agree to the name change," Mayor Franz Meindl told the Sun. "Everyone needs to agree for it to happen."

The Telegraph writes that the village of 104 residents was pretty much unknown until U.S. troops were stationed in the area at the end of WWII.

The paper describes how the town got its name in the first place:
Experts say the town’s name is derived from Focko, a 6th Century Bavarian nobleman, and the modern spelling was adopted in the 18th Century.

The Register reports that the town considered changing its name in 2005, but that the citizens voted against renaming the town.

"We had a vote last year on whether to rename the town, but decided to keep it as it is," then-Mayor Siegfried Hauppl said following the 2005 vote. "After all, F--king has existed for 800 years, probably when a Mr F--k or the F--k family moved into the area. The 'ing' was added as a word for settlement."

They should keep the name, because it's a F**king tradition. F**king people shouldn't change it because non-F**king people steal their signs.

Those poor F**kers!

Those F**king people had better leave well enough alone. I mean, for F**k's sake (the founder).

Wonder if Phuket Thialand feels the same way?

I could see a few TV shows being made here: A reality show where they follow around residents called "Meet the F**kers!", "Houswives of F**king Austria", "The F**king Austria Cops", or a drama/comedy called "We Got Your Little F**king Town On the F**cking Prairie Right Here!" LMAO

I love ****ing.
I went there not long ago and roamed around ****ing for a few hours. All the ****ing people were really nice and they made me an honorable ****ing resident for a day.

We then went to the cities yearly ****-Fest and I got to participate in all the ****ing games and we even had a ****ing competition. I came third.

:LOL:

Where'd you go on vacation, son?

****ing Austria!

[SLAP]

Mom!

Well, it's more fitting there.

I wonder if they've ever given anyone the key to F**king?

The ****ing key?

Yes, but you have to spend money in ****ing for about a month before they give it to you.
Afterwards, you usually leave disappointed.

Sounds like they're ****ing happy the way things are.

I wonder if their high school team's names are the Assholes.

I heard their cheerleaders are ****ing Bitches.
