Mpache 672 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I think there are some towns with silly names in the world. Obviously they mean different things in their country, but to us some of them can be funny.

Bluebird Hewitt 1,282 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 While not a town name, I remember going to Las Vegas a few years back and on the way, I saw a sign for a turning and thought that they're making road names up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't find a photo for Unterfucking but the name Fucking is common in Austria and means "a place of" so I believe, and Ober means over and Unter means under so I gather it means one town or places with either both meanings but different locations? Fucking (/ˈfʌkɪŋ/ German: [ˈfʊkɪŋ] (listen)) is an Austrian village in the municipality of Tarsdorf, located in the Innviertel region of western Upper Austria. The village is 33 kilometres (21 mi) north of Salzburg and is 4 km (2.5 mi) east of the Inn river, which forms part of the German border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
