A sexciting place in Austria

What's so sexciting? Okay, so when I was researching for some information on Aussie travellers for our MAA KickStarting Tourism Project, I'm really amazed with what I found :D

Fucking's most famous feature is a signboard with its name on it, which tourists often stop to have their photograph taken. It is a commonly stolen street sign. No surprise there.

This village is located 33 kilometres north of Salzburg, 4 kilometres away from the German border.

The "Fucking" settlement has existed since 1070 and is named after a man from the 6th century called "Focko"/"Fucker". Oooo.

"-ing" is an old Germanic suffix indicating the people of the root word to which it is attached; thus Fucking means "(place of) Focko’s people. The village has a population of 104. Wow! This "Fucking" people at this "Fucking" village don't really like "Fucking" do they? After all, Fucking has existed for over 800 years.

What if I'm a local and when people ask me this, "Hey, where do you live?"

Me: Oh. I live in the Fucking village in Austria.

"Man, do you really hate your village that much?"

Me: Eh, no no.. I'm a Fucker, you know the Fucking people in Austria? I go to the Fucking school, the Fucking church, we're all Fuckers.

"Son, you gotta watch your language."
