Town of Fucking in Austria

[TheRepublicPanda]

"Where are you coming?"

[dorourke105]

I thought they pronounced it like fooking with a long U sound

[75426168]

there is even a beer called fucking hell ^^ not kidding! :D

[Hoopermazing]

It's so childish that certain arbitrary words cause adults so much discomfort.

[sunny1987ist]

hahahaha



[soyandresysoylareata]

"when are you coming?"

priceless

[YTMize]

OMG THAT IS SO FUCKING FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[diabl2master]

[MHN299]

@diabl2master I don't think so. It sounds very real - I am from Austria!

[TheyChantHisName]

[TheRhinehart86]

Famous Austrians:

Habsburgs- Inbred

Hitler- Inbred

Fritzl- Impregnated his own daughter

Inspector Rex- Pure bred dog, therefore inbred

Good thing you guys have Mozart and Schwarzenegger or else all youd be known for is inbreeding, starting world wars and a village called Fucking  ;)

[18Alice04]

Roseanne of course we know what fucking means and we think its funny too

and i live close to a street called julius ficker straße ... it means julius fucker street

[Hiasi2708]

i am from austria and we don't pronounce it fucking.. ;D

this is a mistake which is often made by english speaking people.. ^^

but there is a funny fact about the sign with the name of the villige:

the sign with the name is placed in 3 meters high because visitors often stole the sign because of the name of the village.. xD

[bnmjy]

Roseanne?

[txxli]

so..r u cumming?

[sweetcommand0]

[joselopez9691]

[drazenkoj1990]

[dbhongnhi43]

Yes. Many words are normal in a language but turn to be funny in other language. When I started learning English in the north west of Vietnam where Thai ethnic people lives. They speak language similar Tai (in Thailand) and Laos. My english teacher speak " he" the adult learners just laughed not speak follow the teacher. The male teacher felt surprised later in the breaking time he asked some male learns and he known that " He" (spelling hi) is " vagina" in Thai language.

[pwt10]

not that funny

[GasmaskKid1337]

Laughed my ass off everytime he said fucking. XD

[KillerKane22]

jesus christ, what a dumb bitch..."DO THEY KNOW ITS A BAD WORD?"

fucking is just a name, whats the bid deal? there are hundreds of small villages with weird names.

[dazzydaz89]

never forgotten this episode! classic xD

[AustrianZeppelin]

in Bad Hofgastein, my favorite ski resort in Austria, there's a B&B called Wanker....classic

[Camelle1986]

This is why learning swear words in other languages is important.

[michaellovegrove]

[SuperTakashii]

[crestlinecrazy6732]

[ljosua]

[ljosua]

@RaWstYle07 I mean the Phone Conversation is fake

[Lo323984]

[gosha100100]

8 people don't like fucking

[FischKopfD]

there is a beer now called 'fucking hell' (hell means bright in german)

google it if you don't belive me.

[AnnaJuliaHotter]

proud to be austrian :D

[chemiealex]

It is situated in Salzburg and takes me about one and a half hours to get there!! :D

I so have to do this one time!! XDD

But actually everyone learns English in school so they should know what it means.

[superzsolt]

lol "i want to get married in a fucking church, with a fucking priest with all the fucking people present" i quoted this from someone else xD

[britainfan4lyf]

hahahahahahah omg, i have never laughed so hard!

[MsColdCanada]

Did you know that from Petting in Germany to Fucking in Austria is about 18 km? In other words it wouldn't take very long to get from Petting to Fucking in a car. If your mother ever warned you of this it seems she was right all along.

[Schurik1988]

@MsColdCanada But you should make sure to go to Kissing in Germany first. It isn't that far either. ;-)

[MsColdCanada]

@Schurik1988 So you're saying that I could plan a European backpacking trip where I start out with Kissing, make my way to Petting and finish up, exhausted and spent, with Fucking before heading home for a rest?

I'm getting the impression that some of the ancestors were playing a bit of a dirty joke on us.

[Schurik1988]

@MsColdCanada Exactly. I mean, like, who would start with Petting if you haven't been to Kissing first? Gotta keep your good manners. Look up "Kissing, Germany" in Google Maps and you'll find it.

Yeah, I get that impression too, also with many other place names here in Germany... Seems like the ancient Germans & Austrians did have a sense of humour. Maybe they lost most of it somewhere along the way. ;-)

[eggyolksam]

@MsColdCanada  don't forget about Kissing

[81pluto]

@MsColdCanada HAHAHAHA!

[MrMichael1099]

hahaha that's really funny, I live in austria, I guess I should visit this wonderful city :))

[bonarabertl]

Under the "Fucking" shield is written: PLEASE, NOT SO FAST !!! ;)

[sirtoiletpot]

Fucking was founded before the introduction of the English word.

P.S.: Fucking Hitler was born near Fucking (~35km)

[sirtoiletpot]

They should build a fucking hotel *LOL*

[GunsOfThePhoenix]

How about Ragged Ass Rd. in Yellowknife?

[MadeForDreaming]

I live close to Fucking... A few months ago they sued some people, because they made fun of the name... But honestly, I'm from Austria and I still think they should take it with humor...xD

(PS. Not everybody's English is like his;)

[ks2401]

This is ridiculous. Why the f,ck Britts. still go on insulting others. They still think that they are superior in the world? When will they learn to respect the rest of the world? It looks like they are obsessed with insulting others language. The town is actually called Fooking like Booking.........

[username102030405]

@ks2401 get a sense of humour, I found this because an Austrian friend of mine posted it on facebook, she found it funny as!

[RobertNicholls]

@ks2401 the guy's Irish you moron

[Chaserallomac12]

i live there XD

[sirtoiletpot]

@Chaserallomac12 really?

[scratchneck]

in one african language "new york" means "horseshit"

[187RealAssGangsta69]

@scratchneck 4 real?

[theroot1980]

@scratchneck LOL

[ZachValkyrie]

@scratchneck In Boston; New York means horseshit.

[r1234567ization]

@scratchneck Let's put another shrimp on the Barbie!!!

[scratchneck]

@r1234567ization sorry I don't know what you mean

[RealSkyDiver2]

I heard the Fucking food is really delicious...would love to try Fucking Bradwurst

[sweetsingeruk]

Fucking is very near Wolfing! LOL

[gmccord1970]

My fiance and I are going to Austria for our honeymoon and we look forward to fucking in fucking.

[glaked23]

Some great quotes i've heard on fucking

"There are no Fucking postcards"- random tourist

"everyone here knows what it means in English, but for us Fucking is Fucking — and it's going to stay Fucking"- Citizen on why the towns people voted not to change the name.

[Radioo3]

I am from Austria, and it´s being planned to brew a beer there, which is going to be called "Fucking Hell". Just google "fucking hell beer".

[hopala007]

I am going this year to F.

[SuperPlaygamer]

i life in fucking :)

[judy0941]

they even made a beer called fucking hell which comes from this place lol

[Mequa32]

It's on Google Earth and Maps, but is still missing a "street view". It would be cool to take a virtual stroll down Fucking.

[FX4356]

yah yah.. very funny -.-

[flakelorenz02]

He said Bitte like a British person would say beta.

[quintquintr]

I FUCKING love Graham Norton... XD

[alltimenumberone]

when are you coming? lmao, the best jokes are always the unintentional ones

[melvinlzp90]

"Are you coming right now?" Lol.

[MulleDK13]

Hahaha, and then it says "Bitte" right below, rofl.

[bakaheibaka]

would love to visit the fuckers

[sega31098]

@bakaheibaka

Wikipedia call them Fuckingers.

[ohhrichie]

Fucking in Austria, Kissing in Germany

[ohhrichie]

South Dildo, Newfoundland

ahaha :D

[kerndlboy]

i don't understand what's so funny about Fucking. I live in Salzburg and have friends in Fucking. It's just a small village...

and to all americans: this hamlet is much more older than your whole country!!!

and Corpus Christi, Nameles, Boring or End of the Earth aren't that better....

[don2768]

@kerndlboy: I don't understand what's so funny either. Fucking is no different than Dildo Newfoundland, Condom France, Twatt Shetland, or Intercourse Pennsylvania for that matter. I'm just like you, I don't get it either.

[Timmygobang]

See the video attached below, 6:30 in...us riding through fucking!!

[Timmygobang]

See the video attached below, 6:30 in...

[rayway82]

is that roseanne?

[Toastbrotmanndew]

we also have a village called petting at the... vagina-lake...(well, it's not spelled like that but it's still funny ^_^)

[xgggeeeiiilllx]

Das ist genial!!!  =)

[okta87]

From Wikipedia:

One version of the sign features the village name with an additional sign beneath it, with the words "Bitte — nicht so schnell!", which translates from German into English as "Please — not so fast!"

Tarsdorf municipality's mayor Siegfried Hauppl stated that it was decided to keep the name as it had existed for 800 years,[7] and further stated that "(e)veryone here knows what it means in English, but for us Fucking is Fucking — and it's going to stay Fucking."

[ChromeXk]

@okta87 "Fucking is Fucking — and it's going to stay Fucking." hahahah I did laugh at this :)

[EiNSkraft]

is there a Fucking hotel?

[buelent84]

at 0:28: under the place-name you see another sign: "Please - not so fast! - Children!" ;))))

[MrMedusaLvamp]

I LOVE her hair like this!!!...She should go back 2 this Pat Benatar look instead of the grey Bea Aurther look that she has now! Has any one seen the grey stringy mop look that she's intentionally keeping now?...Watch the TV Land awards...She'll be on there on April 25th!!!!!

[nikoweh]

There is now a beer called Fucking Hell, brewed in Fucking :)

("Hell", meaning "Bright", is a type of beer)

[DClaudeKatz]

@nikoweh According to what I read, Fucking Hell is not actually brewed in Fucking. They just appropriated the name of the town because it sounded good...or bad.

[napcomss]

"Are you coming?" loooooool, that part cracked me, hahahaha

[VeoxGER]

there are T-shirts "I love Fucking in Austria"

and soon there is a new beer brand "Fucking Hell"

[MrJekyllDrHyde1]

"when are you coming"... Ha ha ! ...

[cracknigga]

dammit, it is pronounced "FOOKKING"

[SqeakyGoldfish]

My mum knows that Fucking is a real town, and she still won't let me say Fucking, waaah!

[rocketlauncher2]

Enjoy your shitty life then, eh?

[11isdax]

Yes... i am austrian... no, i am not from fucking xDD i heared of this town... but they made some souveniers called "Fuck U" xDDD

[DerOrk]

The sign on the card "Fucking.

please not so fast. beware of children"

[MatthewShotAlex]

"I have it on my computer right now"

HAHAHAHA xD

[GunaMalaysia]

HAHAHAHAHAHA LOL ....

[09Napo]

The village exists but the call is SOO FAKE!!

[bernhardb8]

Hello guys ;)

I am from Austria and .. yes, this village with about 100 inhabitants really exists. Most people there actually don't know what this word really means and they pronounce the u like in the English "You" and not like the "a" in "laugh".

However, it's still embarrassing, but what can I do? ;)

[martpast1]

@bernhardb8 its should be embarrassing for this primitive comedian. town is known from 1070, word ''fucking'' appeared in English in 15-16century.

[drummerboy764]

@bernhardb8 i am from austria too but we do not speek it like the english way

xD

[MrMarkusro]

@bernhardb8 und unter dem Schild steht noch Bitte nicht so schnell :)

[sirtoiletpot]

@MrMarkusro Tja, das 2.Schild versteht man halt nur, wenn man ein bisschen Deutsch versteht. Finde es schade, dass sie das gar nicht übersetzt haben in der Show :D

[PrinceOfeAustria]

@bernhardb8

well i do think people there know what fucking means. I too am Austrian, from Vienna, and I can't think of anyone I know who doesn't at least understand this single word ;)

[Germtalia]

@bernhardb8 in america in a state called Pennsylvania there

is a town called Intercourse

[TheM123456789m1]

The politicians even discussed about rename 'Fucking', but it's named so for 700 or 800 years now and I don't think that any 'Fucker' ( xD ) doesn't know what this word means in english ;)

[TehAWAL]

@bernhardb8 facking hell

[Oliverkina]

laugh out fucking loud

[rimb1127]

i fucking died laughing!!!!!

[ONOESRAPEAPE]

Fucking is actually really great. I like Fucking, I like it a lot. Especially the women.

[ONOESRAPEAPE]

Fucking is a fucking great place. You should fucking go, like, fucking immediately.

[1Tempest100]

I think he afterwards put his phone into his fucking asshole...that son of a bitch...he's a gay backloader...

[pepehidrocalido]

Is fucking good in winter? hahaha

Are you coming now? hahahhaha

People in the town must be Austrian fuckers, I want to meet a girl from there haha

[svenglenn]

lol that phone call is so fake.

[MrKiller66613]

theres a mountain in austria called wank

[jfarinhote]

"It's a little cold in fucking but are you coming?"

priceless!!

[TuTubusLatinus]

Gold. Pure gold.

[MrGordongecko2007]

FUCKING souvenir shop

[starmaniac86]

"Fucking" is about 40km from my place. I've been there severel times. It has become a huge tourist sensation and the road signs have been stolen very often. And by the way it's pronounced "fooking" like "cooking".

[annasteinhardtgo]

@starmaniac86 thanks for setting everybody straight on the pronunciation

[FrontalTraction]

They should mass manufacture and sell the signs.

[A7WFG]

So what do you call the local residents?

[NoEoAoRo]

@A7WFG Residents of Fucking are actually called "Fuckingers"

[loopadda37]

It is my dream to do a school report on this village.

[FerretJohn]

It really is an actual place, a little village population about 106, believed to have been in exisence for somewhere around 1100 years now. It was originally known as something like Fukingen but over the years the name just shortened to it's current form. Popular place with the tourists, especially the British, they used to have a problem with their town highway signs being stolen but replaced them with theft resistant ones.

[Frenchlstheworst]

fuck austria

[captainhero88]

fuck u!!!!!

[Volgin93]

I am from Austria and I know Fucking. Well... It's just a name with a second meaning. But there are lots of words/names with a second meaning. Just take "gay" for example. Or "Essex", Essex also sounds a little weird... ^^

[prilstrudel]

the Austrian town really exists, but it is NOT pronounced "fucking" but "fooking". A lot of German towns end with "ing" meaning "home".

[simon726]

are you doing a "fucking" prank on the tourist board?

[pdrummerbp]

id love to live there!!!! imagine.. hey dude where u live? - oh, i live'n Fucking!

[RubberDuckyToy]

What talk show is this?

[GGGriggs]

The Graham Norton Show.

[crocotone]

Come on guys... laughing and fucking is healthy

[xxNaThUxx]

i live near to this town... it's nothing special. (about 100 inhabitants) =P

[tomfroekjaer]

The only thing funny about this is that it shows the ignorance of Americans in general. The village was founded centuries before the f-word was even invented.

And the pronunciation is NOT the same as in American; in South Africa they might pronounce it the same way, though.

[rick92rr]

but they dont say anything about the history of the town, it was named in the year 1070, they ignored the word in other language, n it was named like that because an historical person: Focko and the ing means people, so, the name means "People of Focko"

[Stormer077]

Lmao 'are you coming' xD

[4gs8vh4gs8vh]

i am from austria (vienna though)

but y do you think they dont change it ... its the only thing y tourists visit this place ... and it IS in upper austria

but question ... does dick cheny know that his first name is a "dirty" word? ;)

[atmeneti2]

it is not a fake. I was there. Fucking cool place.

[sariatti]

Fake americani idiot

[Laur0sie]

...is that Roseanne?

[mrworkout79]

Its a real village. Google it.

[gerih333]

it is spelled fucking but phonetically it sounds differently, in english you´d say "foo-cking"

[HARUHlIST]

Intercourse, PA

[66richardson]

Graham Norton is brilliant!

Only he could pull this off!

[fallout3minigunmad]

in france theres a place called penis

[The0teh]

we dont spell it like that

[Austrianhuuii]

yes we do - FUCKING is the correct spelling @ The0teh

[The0teh]

xDD

heast ich bin Wiener, und dieses Fucking wird deutsch ausgesprochen und ned wie im Englischen :D

erzeugt einige Missverständisse^^

[minski76]

you PRONOUNCE it differently (fooking)(spelling=schreibweis­e, pronounciation= aussprache) - but that is hard to explain to an englishspeaking person reading the sign :D

[nowahoin]

*proNUNciation

[minski76]

I'm trying to be a smartass here - in two languages, that's not an easy task ;)
