Fugging fair enough.

A village in Austria which was sick and tired of it's name being mocked by English-speaking tourists and on social media, has made the decision to officially change its name.

The village will now be known as Fugging as of January 1st 2021 - after residents grew tired of the jokes associated with its current name - F***ing.

Some experts say dates back all the way back to the 11th century, however a majority of the villagers have decided they have finally had enough of the mockery.

"I can confirm that the village is being renamed," said Andrea Holzner, the mayor of Tarsdorf, the municipality to which the village belongs.

"I really don't want to say anything more - we've had enough media frenzy about this in the past," she told regional daily Oberoesterreichische Nachrichten (OOeN).

According to the Austrian daily Die Presse, the villagers, known as Fuckingers, "have had enough of visitors and their bad jokes."
