Well, while we're on the topic of fuking:
Here's a news quote that includes a random fact about the use of the word Fuck:
Brits steal carloads of F**king Austrian roadsigns
By Lester Haines (lester.haines at theregister.co.uk)
Published Monday 15th August 2005 13:06 GMT
An Austrian village called Fucking will not change its name despite s******ing Brits making off with its roadsigns.
Mayor Siegfried Hauppl has asked visitors to lay off the signs which began to attract outside attention after British and US soldiers passing through in 1945 illuminated the locals as to the English meaning of Fucking, Ananova reports.
Hauppl explained: "We had a vote last year on whether to rename the town, but decided to keep it as it is. After all, Fucking has existed for 800 years, probably when a Mr Fuck or the Fuck family moved into the area. The 'ing' was added as a word for settlement."
We reckon that Fucking has been around a lot longer than 800 years, otherwise there wouldn't have been any Fucks to lend their name to the village in the first place, would there?
Be that as it may, the disappointing news is that the residents of Fucking are - according to Franz Duernsteiner, an expert on preposterous Austrian village names - very "conservative" people. He said: "Most of them can speak English, and when someone asks them where they come from they are a little ashamed to say it."
That's fair enough, and certainly something the residents of Milton Keynes can sympathise with. ®
