    When "meet the Fockers" was being produced, The MPAA would not allow the movie to use the title unless they found a family with the name "Focker".
    True.
    I did a quiz the other day.

    The mayor wants to change the name back to Fugging, the only problem is that they have to get all the F**king residents to agree with that
    :pac:

    Did you read the whole article?
    False rumours of name change
    Rumours spread through international news media in April 2012 that villagers had been thinking about changing the name of the village or had actually voted to change it. The satirical website The Spoof! published a story on 18 April 2012 saying that the villagers were fed up and wanted to change the name.[22] This minor satire was expanded upon and appeared on the same day in the Daily Mirror newspaper[23] and elsewhere during the following week as a genuine news item, and was repeated by The Guardian and The Huffington Post, who reported that a vote had taken place to change the name to Fugging, but it was discovered that a village with that name already existed in the municipality of Obritzberg-Rust just west of Herzogenburg.[24][25] The mayor of ****ing denied these false stories when contacted.[26]

    Young Boys play in Wankdorf outside of Bern in Switzerland.

    Here's a great headline from a few years ago after they had built their new stadium. "Young Boys Wankdorf erection relief"

    Here's a picture of us at Wankdorf station.

    Not from the village, and not pronounced the way you think.

    Diver rhymes with liver.

    As in Royal Liver Insurance? :D
