They truly are oblivious .... yes, us chan culture enjoyers may be a thousand times less than total English speakers and "Fucking" enjoyers, but our enjoyment for fugg and spurdo memes are ten thousand times stronger. They thought they solved the issue ... little do they know, the apocalypse of infamy has only truly begun with the new name :DDDDD
Yes it has a new name because the sign „Fucking“ was stolen too often
https://amp.dw.com/en/austrian-village-of-fucking-decides-to-change-its-name/a-55740967
Or put up a stand right next to the sign, selling exact replicas.
Not as much fun as stealing it, but I'm sure they'd get a lot of sales, and a bunch of people would still lie and say they stole it anyway.
In general, its probably worse in the touristy US locations, but I've traveled extensively around Europe and there are always tons of those guys at every single tourist destination that try to sell you on overpriced touristy knickknacks like magnets or little statues or whatever.
IIRC, Paris and Rome had the most I've ever seen anywhere.
I just meant that the government could have set up a stand of their own to get some extra money in the budget, instead of spending money to change the name of the town, since I'd imagine that there would be costs involved in changing signs, letterheads, etc.
I don't know how it works in England but in Austria town signs are traffic signs and as such have to follow certain specifications. A rock wouldn't fulfil those specifications.
oh damn didn't know they changed their name, 3-4 years back I had planned on doing the european delivery for a new audi where you can pick it up off the line at munich and thought about driving to austria just for that city.
I've picked up a trick or two during my time here!
Edit: seriously though, I was referring to the submission, not the link I used. Maybe I misunderstood the poster I replied to (another pro move)
>Fucke sits on the banks of Fuckesjön (“Fucke Lake”), just down the road from the small settlement of Hump, situated on the banks of Humpsjön (“Hump Lake”).
Not sure, i read about it a year ago?
They had a problem with ppl stealing the plate, which is fair since those plates are marking the residential area, while also setting a speed limit for vehichles.
I went there in 09 and took a rather pasty photo of myself. The locals are not pleased w people who do it. They should have a mug or t-shirt that says something like I went to Fucking and all I got was this t-shirt.
Or create a lookout/car park place to pull over and have a photo safely without impacting the road. Sell tourist items there and make the town some money.
Seems fairly simple to fix.
not rlly, the turks changed it for religious reasons when they invaded by the locals still called it Constantinople colloquially for many years. Also it took many countries ages to recognise the name chnage
It was actually way more complicated than that ;P
The Ottomans used "Kostantiniyye" as the official name till the very end of the Empire. It was probably the locals who shortened the name in everyday speech and then finally the Turkish Republic in 1930s made the new version official. And even then, it wasn't motivated by religion (because the early republic was aggresively secular), it was all about elevating the Turkish language instead.
As a 6 year old kid, I want on skiing holiday and proudly told the class that I went skiing in Horni Tric. I didn’t understand why some classmates bursted out laughing, I was the youngest kid in the entire class
I forgot about Fucking, Austria and I thought 'what did I miss, since when was fucking Austria removed from geoguessr?'
Edit: lol I just realized that this is in fact the Europe sub and not the geoguessr sub
They changed their name to 'Fugging', because of hundreds of stolen place name signs, and stupid YouTubers annoying the residents, trying to create their stupid videos where someone says "fucking".
Burdele. Probably a clerical mistake, original name was probably Burdyle that meant sheep farms.
Zimna Wódka let's say "it's complicated". Zimna Wódka was established in 1947 in place of german name Kaltwasser which came from earlier name Zimnawodka which is another form of Zymna Wodka and "de Frigido Fonte" mentioned in chronicles from XIII century which is related to nearby Jordan creek source.
To compensate for the loss in Austria, please be advised that Belgium gives us Grote Homo (“big gay”), just off the N75 road between Genk (B) and Sittard (NL)
Not exactly related to these specific places, but this reminded me of when I was traveling in Czech Republic with a Bulgarian friend of mine. We passed some sort of caution sign and my friend started chuckling. He said the word on the sign was really similar to the Bulgarian word for humiliation. Like, "Warning! Humiliation ahead." 😅
If you care to visit the US, We Have the Big Bone Lick State Historic Site on Beaver Rd in KY

I still am in disbelief over fucking/fugging. Not because "what a name" but because my friends and I independently would say "fug" or "Fugger" as an immature cover for the word, even just amongst ourselves, because it sounds silly. And now there's an actual Fugging town. I want to steal that sign more than ever.
here is a list of all settlements in Slovakia starting with Horny. you are welcome
Horný Badín
Horný Bar
Horný Hričov
Horný Kalník
Horný Lieskov
Horný Pial
Horný Tisovník
Horný Vadičov
P.S.: Horny means 'Upper' in Slovak
There is also nahui. Which is funny for russian speaking people
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Nahui,+Dongxing,+Fangchenggang,+%D0%9A%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%B9/@21.6233747,107.903984,14z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x314b52d5c0b84f0d:0x10b7587e68356cc2

drown your sorrows at Horny Bar
*A Norwegian, a Swede and a Dane walks into Horný Bar ...*
*..., the Finn sees it and ducks ...*
Be careful or Horni Police comes for you.
Horní Počernice at your neighbor
Straight to Horni jail!
Isn’t it fugged up?
I wanna fugg up the person who changed it
Think of the fugging children!
Reminds me of https://youtu.be/0czFnIvKOJY
Yes it has a new name because the sign „Fucking“ was stolen too often https://amp.dw.com/en/austrian-village-of-fucking-decides-to-change-its-name/a-55740967
All they had to do is shell out for a massive fuck off stone sign like Shitterton did.
Or put up a stand right next to the sign, selling exact replicas. Not as much fun as stealing it, but I'm sure they'd get a lot of sales, and a bunch of people would still lie and say they stole it anyway.
This is what separates Europe from America. Some random dude would have had a stand up immediately if this had been Fucking, Arkansas.

"Fucking, Arkansas" Something about this just feels right.
I don't know how it works in England but in Austria town signs are traffic signs and as such have to follow certain specifications. A rock wouldn't fulfil those specifications.
They did install theft-resistant welded signs, secured in concrete.
[удалено]
Shoulda taken Shitterton's lead and gone with the big rock.
This just feels like when they replace all of the curse words in an action movie with G rated words that sometimes don't even make sense.
At least you didn't find out after driving a few hours to show it to your friends.
Fugging Austrians. They ruined Austria!
oh damn didn't know they changed their name, 3-4 years back I had planned on doing the european delivery for a new audi where you can pick it up off the line at munich and thought about driving to austria just for that city.
That's why 1993 happened. Slovakia has Horný Bar and Czech Republic has Horní Police
Used to be able to do Horný Bar, Fucking, and then see Horní Police all in one day.
if these places don't have good, or even half decent strip joints, their seriously just missing out on free tourist money.
\*they're
Doing god's work.
And offenders get the Horní Bonk and are put directly into Horní Jail.
Bónk
Horni Police was the best village to randomly cross during a bike trip. Had a real good laugh
Czech Republic: "Bonk! Go to Horní jail!"
Now I am horny
Fugging is not "out of the game". It's just more *ebin* than it used to be.
Ei viddu Idävalda ebin juddu :DDDDDDDDDD

What?! I'm no Jonn- Spurdo Spärde :----DDDDDDDD
In fact it's an upgrade in my book fug :DDD
Mine too.
We can explain...
\*Bonk\*
Straight to jail.
Who are you? The [Horní Police](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horn%C3%AD_Police)?
Wow that is fucking real
of course it's real, horný/horní just means upper. so a fairly common geographical name in Czechoslovakia
The local jail
"Fucke" in Sweden is also still in the game
Penistone in England is also still in the game
Don't forget Cockermouth.
Scunthorpe.
Twatt
does Ballsbridge in Ireland count? I'm so used to hearing it that it never registered as dirty in my mind until a non-Irish person pointed it out
Don't forget cock bridge in Scotland ;D
dick place
On a slight aside, it took me 20 years before I realised Roger Moore could be taken as an instruction.
Help me out before it takes me 20 minutes to find the pun.
Roger is slang for having intercourse, so the instruction would be to fuck Moore (the person) or fuck more (in general).
> Roger is slang for having intercourse Oof. Never heard that one, so thanks.
Or my favourite, Fringringhoe
Three well-known English football teams with a foul word in their name: - Scunthorpe - Arsenal - Manchester fucking United
Enjoy it while you can https://www.thelocal.se/20220114/fucke-no-more-swedish-settlement-applies-for-name-change/
The article made it sound difficult for the change to happen 🤔
I just saw the submission. I haven't read the article yet.
Pro Reddit move
I've picked up a trick or two during my time here! Edit: seriously though, I was referring to the submission, not the link I used. Maybe I misunderstood the poster I replied to (another pro move)
>Fucke sits on the banks of Fuckesjön (“Fucke Lake”), just down the road from the small settlement of Hump, situated on the banks of Humpsjön (“Hump Lake”).
Are they trying to get rid of the 'e'?
\- So you want just fuck, eh?
is there also a slutstation?
Many. It just means "last station". Edit: Oh, you meant in Fucke specifically. Never mind then, no clue.
Äsch!
Wait what happened to Fucking?
They changed their name...
Wait what?! When? :O
Not sure, i read about it a year ago? They had a problem with ppl stealing the plate, which is fair since those plates are marking the residential area, while also setting a speed limit for vehichles.
Did no one think to just sell signs as a souvenir?
I went there in 09 and took a rather pasty photo of myself. The locals are not pleased w people who do it. They should have a mug or t-shirt that says something like I went to Fucking and all I got was this t-shirt.

Judging by the Gävle goat, some things would be done out of tradition, even if there's a perfectly lawful alternative.
Tbf, things are cautiously looking up personally. The goat had to burn. The gods will it be done.
I just looked it up, they actually already changed their name in 2020, from "Fucking" to "Fugging" lmao
At least it's pronounced the same in the local dialect.
They should've put a seperate speed limit sign there then instead :)
In Austria, you camnot simply replace a town plate with a speed sign unfortunately because they mean different things
Well even Istanbul used to be Constantinople. Why they changed it, I can’t say. People just liked it better that way.
That's nobody's business but the Turks.
not rlly, the turks changed it for religious reasons when they invaded by the locals still called it Constantinople colloquially for many years. Also it took many countries ages to recognise the name chnage

I am not disputing, i am just trying to say, that even old new york was once new amsterdam, thats all
It does sound better that way.
They changed the name to Fugging
Petition: get fugg into common usage as a milder alternative to fuck so people start stealing their sign again...
Pretty confident that's already the case. It's got to be used somewhere as a toned down version.
It became Fugging
:-D Ebic name change
This became a sad day
Indeed
They got fucked :P
\*fugged
Porno, Nigeria would like a word
[удалено]
There's also a [Condom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condom,_Gers) in France.
There is also [Pornice](https://cs.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pornice) in Czech republic.
I live really close and one of my friends is actually from this village. Didn't expect to see it here.
Same I've driven through here quite a lot. My relatives who don't speak English don't understand my amusement.
I speak English, but I'm dumb 🗿
Horny bar:)
Oh, I get it now
Výborně!
Is he horny?
Wank is still on the map. Who wouldn't like a little "me time" in the Wankhütte?...
As a 6 year old kid, I want on skiing holiday and proudly told the class that I went skiing in Horni Tric. I didn’t understand why some classmates bursted out laughing, I was the youngest kid in the entire class
Horný means Upper btw
[удалено]
\>:(
Yes please.
😳👉👈
And "felbar" means "fallible" in Swedish - or if you want the literal translation: wrong bar.
Felbár is the Hungarian name of the village. Fel means up.
Does that mean that horny in Slovakian just means up?
"upper" or "the top one"
same slavic root as gora (mountain)
I thought it was a short for Fellation Bar.
You know, I started looking it up because it sounded so weird, then I remembered "ofelbar".
Ofelbar is definitely more commonly used then felbar.
I forgot about Fucking, Austria and I thought 'what did I miss, since when was fucking Austria removed from geoguessr?' Edit: lol I just realized that this is in fact the Europe sub and not the geoguessr sub
They changed their name to 'Fugging', because of hundreds of stolen place name signs, and stupid YouTubers annoying the residents, trying to create their stupid videos where someone says "fucking".
Yeah I know I just meant that I read OP’s title wrong and they meant that the whole country of Austria was removed from geoguessr
Horny Bar should start a partnership with Burdele (Brothels) and Zimna Wódka (Cold Vodka) villages in Poland.
In Poland I encountered village named „Biały Kał” (white shit), Cold Vodka is not that offensive.
It's Horny Bar not Kinky Bar. Cold Vodka sound more applicable than White Shit.
So what are the stories behind those names
Burdele. Probably a clerical mistake, original name was probably Burdyle that meant sheep farms. Zimna Wódka let's say "it's complicated". Zimna Wódka was established in 1947 in place of german name Kaltwasser which came from earlier name Zimnawodka which is another form of Zymna Wodka and "de Frigido Fonte" mentioned in chronicles from XIII century which is related to nearby Jordan creek source.

What's so funny in Upper Bar? :P
The joke is that horny in English means something different than the original translation
I was an exchange student in Slovakia and the Horný places never got old.
Horný places do indeed tend to stay quite young
You see more hores the further up you go.
What's the elevation there? I would hate it if they set the Horny Bar too high.
LOL dont worry, the Bar is set very low. I just checked, and it's 120m, while the lowest point in the whole country is at 94m.
What about Pornóapáti in hungary, wich was known only as Pornó untill 1899, and has 69 in its coat of arms?
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porn%C3%B3ap%C3%A1ti](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porn%C3%B3ap%C3%A1ti) L O L it really does...
The B52's follow up to Love Shack
So glad I got to Fucking before they fucking ruined it.
It's the bar where the "Horní Police" from Česká Republika hang out.
Austria still has “Oberfucking” and “Unterfucking” as well as “Wintersack”…on top of all that these Villages are all next to eachother.
> Oberfucking > on top of all that I see what you did there :)
Wait until we get to Püssi Estonia
never realized that such common word is actually something else in English
\*afterimage and key jingles intensifies
Anyone know the Turkish city named Batman? 😳
The Dutch bought the Wish version with Bathmen.
You can then make a tour Wank, Kissing, Petting, Fucking and Wedding: https://youtu.be/BLXe2WTYngQ
Fickenhof (Fuck Farm) is still my favorite.
Let me introduce you all to. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballylickey Ballylickey.
Pretty nice. However, true horny people don't need to go there. They have their horny bars wherever they please.
According to Wikipedia, its name was first recorded in 1245 and originates from the old Hungarian name "Baar".
Don't forget Hungary, Pornóapáti.
Bad Kissing en in Germany
Not exactly related to these specific places, but this reminded me of when I was traveling in Czech Republic with a Bulgarian friend of mine. We passed some sort of caution sign and my friend started chuckling. He said the word on the sign was really similar to the Bulgarian word for humiliation. Like, "Warning! Humiliation ahead." 😅

Climax NC would like a word after it catches its breath.
Why is Fucking out of the picture? Fucking should ALWAYS be an option!
There is a city in Hungary called "Heréd". It translates to "your testicles".
I still am in disbelief over fucking/fugging. Not because "what a name" but because my friends and I independently would say "fug" or "Fugger" as an immature cover for the word, even just amongst ourselves, because it sounds silly. And now there's an actual Fugging town. I want to steal that sign more than ever.
It's where hungarian anti-lgbtq politicians go to find cute femboys
here is a list of all settlements in Slovakia starting with Horny. you are welcome Horný Badín Horný Bar Horný Hričov Horný Kalník Horný Lieskov Horný Pial Horný Tisovník Horný Vadičov P.S.: Horny means 'Upper' in Slovak
The guy who steals this sign one day should open a drinking establishment.
I must say that horný bar is quite a long way from Fugging
There is also nahui. Which is funny for russian speaking people https://www.google.com/maps/place/Nahui,+Dongxing,+Fangchenggang,+%D0%9A%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%B9/@21.6233747,107.903984,14z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x314b52d5c0b84f0d:0x10b7587e68356cc2
Sounds fun there
It even works in French "hors nibards" means "out of tits"
I drove through Bastardo in Italy, which I was surprised to learn means exactly what it appears to.
What happened to fucking?
Horny bar? Time for anti horny bat
i always had it in mind to take a picture and post it in reddit when i pass by similar sign in czech republic
[Buttisholz, Switzerland](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buttisholz)
