As I mentioned yesterday, northwest of Salzburg is a picturesque little town called F—g. And while Austrians obviously know what that word means in English, it doesn’t mean it in German (that word would be ficken). So nobody seemed to be bothered by the town’s name during its early existence. Things didn’t change apparently until U.S. servicemen came across it after the war. Ever since, tourists have taken pictures next to the sign and supposedly done even worse things (it’s also been stolen on occasion). According to the mayor, the prank calls were “the final straw.” As such, the townsfolk recently considered changing the name from F—g to Fugging. Only problem is Fugging already exists.
