I watched the DVD of "2016 Obama's America" a little while ago with "C".
After the movie I told her I needed to get the other side of the story. I've been googling that up and somehow I ran across the name of this town by accident while googling. It's pretty bizarre because the townspeople don't really get the joke since they aren't native english speakers and don't really have our usage of the word in their vocubulary. lol

THIS TOWN'S A F****** JOKE

29-08-2005

THERE is a little town in Upper Austria that is a magnet for British tourists. It only contains 32 houses. Nothing much happens there. Nothing much has ever happened there.

But the hamlet glories in the name of F***ing, and is therefore a big attraction to sniggering Brits, who want souvenirs that they can snicker about back home.

"The Germans all want to see Mozart's house in Salzburg," says a po-faced local guide. "The Americans want to see where The Sound Of Music was filmed. The Japanese want Hitler's birthplace in Braunau. But for the British, it's all about F***ing."

F***ing joins a long line of inherently amusing place names, including Iron Knob (Queensland, Australia), Long Dong (Guangxi, China), Mianus (Connecticut, USA) and Sexmoan (Luxon, Philippines). And, closer to home, Great Cockup and Little Cockup in the Lake District.

Here is our famous sense of humour in action. While other, more sensible nations, can pass through Mianus or Great Cockup or F***ing without a flicker of amusement, to the average guffawing, sniggering, eye-rolling Brit the name will always be the best thing about the place.

Says one F***ing guesthouse owner, "Here we have tranquillity, clean air, lakes, acres of forests and some of the most breathtaking vistas one could imagine. Yet still there is this obsession with F***ing. Just this morning I had to tell an English lady who stopped by that there were no F***ing postcards."

Fun-loving British tourists have infuriated the local police chief, Kommandant Schmidtberger, by stealing F***ing road signs.

"What is the big F***ing joke?" says Herr Kommandant. "It is puerile."

Our sense of humour is puerile. Like 50 million Benny Hills, the famous British sense of humour is largely built on our ability to see a sexual reference where none exists. The Brits have a one-track mind that's crammed full of double-entendres.

The village of F***ing was founded by a Bavarian nobleman called Focko and is over a thousand years old. You can understand everyone there feeling exasperated with mocking British tourists.

Perhaps they could spend a fortnight in Little Hampton.
