"where do you wanna go this summer honey?"

"I dont know. Lets just go to F***ing Austria!"

[Katja]

Hey, ****ing is the name of a F***ing town in Austria so you can say '****ing' if you meant the name of the city. But please cut it out with those bad words, okay?

[Kthln01]

[©opy®ight]

Why don't they just re-name the town, bad for the economy ? lol

Katja , wise up my dear, some words mean something different in another language?

I once worked for a company whose name meant "syphyllis" or some such sexually transmitted disease in Hungarian................our stickers and badges were very popular with young students

Stealing signage with amusing connotations is as old as I am

Incidentally:

with those bad words

For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge is an acronym, not a "bad word"

[Kthln01]

use it in a sentence (just kiddin)

[nihil]

Nah! Kthln01

use it in a sentence (just kiddin)

I could never resist such a challenge.........................and its origins are with American Puritans of New England.

So we are now in New England in the 1600's.................

Other: "Oh! what for?"

Goody Bush: "Well, he was F.U.C.K.ing around"




For those interested, the correct rude word is "Swive" and you need Saxon from around 700AD onwards
