October 30th, 2008: A small town Rated R

A Little Austrian Town Named . .

The newspaper article below is even funnier than the sign!






Are the residents called Fuckers?

What are the mothers called?

What would you be learning at the Fucking High School?

Does the Fucking Hospital help you with anything else?

If your friend came from another town, he wouldn't be your Fucking friend.

I thought maybe that was an Onion article, so I did a search.

They had this to say on Wikipedia:

Quote:
The village is located 33 kilometres north of Salzburg, four kilometres east of the German border and half an hour by car from the town of Petting, in Bavaria. It's often said that "It's just not that far from Petting to Fucking."

Wow..

We lived in Salzburg. Got our only (normal) Dachshund there. He was my big brother since he was born a year before me. They don't make them like him anymore. Sad. They've bred them all into miniatures. He was twice the size of today's 'standard'. He was one tough muthafucker(?)

I live in Salzburg and know about Fucking - never been there...

but I can deliver a litte explanation:
Fuck comes from Fock and is a dialect-word for Pig.
In that region it is very common to have an ing-ending on village-names.

200hundres years ago this was probably only a pig-farm or a region where pigs were farmed...

but I have no idea where Petting derives from...

if you did something like a fuckinger did it, you'd be doing it fuckingerly?

if you were like a fuckinger, you'd be fuckingerish?

Why wouldn't they be a Fuckerite?

I know I like it when it's done right.
