Austria adds a new tourist destination and its “Effing great” say the Brits!

There are times when you can blame translation and use the phrase “oh really…we didn’t know!” but then there are those times when you just have to put your hands up and say “yeah okay we know but it gives us a quirky edge”.

Sadly for the residents of Fucking, Austria (ED: I don’t mean Fucking Austria! But rather the place…you know…Fucking…in Austria…), they are standing by their story that their domiciles name is of no interest to them and they just can’t understand what everybody else is getting so hot under the collar about.

So I give you the very non-funny (please don’t laugh we are almost German) Fucking In Austria…lovely place…lot’s of fun…



You have to admit though it does lend itself to some interesting conversations as a tourist…the following phrases can be used without batting an eyelid.

Can you direct me to the Fucking train station?

Is there a Fucking library here?

Can I buy a Fucking Postcard?

What is the fucking currency here?

Is there a large Fucking swinger’s community here?

What in the name of Fucking were you thinking?


It’s completely genuine too…there is a Fucking map!




The Fucking locals however are sticking to their story…they just don’t see the joke! Fucking Austrians….
