    Others are Kissing, Petting, Attaching and Mailing (pronounced differently of course) in Germany; Hacking and Gaming also in Austria. According to wikipedia, the cities often had problems with people stealing their town signs... yeah I'd like to have a Fucking one too :110:

    Know any other weird names of cities? No stone-old Uruguay and Uranus-gags please ;-)

    Someone took the sign so literally that they've thrown their bike to the ground, cast off their helmet and ran into the village...

    On a similar theme there's an 'Intercourse' in Pennsylvania, USA.

    There is actually a town called Blueball not to far away from Intercourse... For real.


    I drive past Virginville quite often actually and apparently Hard Hill rd. runs right through it on the way to Moselem Springs...

    We have a site running in Leeds on 'Cockshot Lane'. I am fairly certain we had to 'erect' the fencing too!

    I heard about Dildo from a classmate a few years ago. He said they call themselves the "Dildonians".

    I'm sure you all know this, but a pretty big city in Germany is called Hamburg. The people there are called Hamburgers.

    Hamburgers were in created in Hamburg, but this Hamburg is in the state New York, not here :) There's also a Hanover in Pennsylvania if my memory works right, must have been founded by some of my ancestors from the Hannover where I live :)
    I totally forgot to mention Hamburg and its tasty inhabitants, seems like I already got too familiar with using these names.

    These delicious things are actually called 'Berliner' (also common is "Amerikaner" (Americans). I call them Krapfen. Sounds pretty pluffy and yummy I think... heheh)

    Ehm - the real name is actually "Krapfen", as they come from either Germany or Austria methinks.

    The names vary depending on where you are in Germany. Krapfen is one common name for them, yes. While they are called Berliner where I live they are actually called Pfannkuchen (Pancakes!) in Berlin. Ironic isn't it?

    In Denmark, they are called Berliner Pfannkuchen . But heck you should remember the Danish "danish pastry" is not really Danish. But from Vienna, no wonder we call them "Vienna bread".

    Nein, das ist Trafficklau :p
    Aber stimmt schon, habe die beiden verwechselt.
    Americans =! Berliners. I believe the 'Amerikaner' were created by some american soldiers just after WWII while they were still in Germany.

    @WDK
    Yeah, they call them Berliner Pfannkuchen here as well. Not where I live though (north to northwest), here they are mostly 'Krapfen' or simply Berliner. In Japan I tried out these things as well and thought they were filled with marmelade, but they weren't. I couldn't figure out what it was they were filled with, but it was NO good.
