I once had a doctor whose last name is Fatale.

And I trusted him with my life!

I’m sure there are a few people with surnames like those in this village:

Was gonna ask you what country that is. But I can see that it says "Austria" right in that string of data that ID's the thumbnail inside the quote bubble of this post.

Our F-word is supposed to be of ancient Germanic origin. So its interesting that the word crops in a place name of a German speaking country.

Isn't it fitting that the guy who sent pictures of his penis to various girls is named Anthony WEINER?

Funny that you should mention that right after my above post.

Wiener is a common family name in the German speaking part of Europe which simply means "from Wien" -which is the what folks in Austria call their capital city:Vienna.

The grand city of Vienna is also famous for its distinctive style of sausages. And when German speaking immigrants came to the US they brought their sausage making talents with them (from places like Hamburg, Frankfurt, and Vienna), and enriched our American cuisine. But they also indirectly caused a certain addition to vulgar American slang as well.

It’s not really the same word:

Wikipedia wrote:

It is believed that the settlement was founded in the 6th century by Focko, a Bavarian nobleman. The existence of the village was documented for the first time in 1070, and historical records show that some twenty years later, the lord was Adalpertus de Fucingin. The spelling of the name has evolved over the years; it is first recorded in historical sources with the spelling as Vucchingen in 1070, Fukching in 1303,[7] Fugkhing in 1532, and in the modern spelling Fucking in the 18th century,[8] which is pronounced with the vowel oo as in book.[2] The ending -ing is an old Germanic suffix indicating the people belonging to the root word to which it is attached, thus Fucking means "(place of) Focko's people."[9]

The German word 'to f**k' is 'ficken', so this is probably true. English is a simplified West Germanic language.

This Austrian village has become quite famous. Although I think the residents are pretty tired of the publicity ...
