Residents in a town in Austria had more luck than those in Fjuckby, when in December 2020 they successfully petitioned for their town called 'F***ing' to be changed to the less rude 'Fugging'. Meanwhile, Snormossen is otherwise known as Snot Bog, with Varberg in Halland County referred to as Puss Mountain. In northern Sweden, about 150km from Skellefteå is the welcoming region of Sexträsk, otherwise known as Sex Swamp.Īnd for those venturing north of Stockholm, keep a look out for a place called Bögs Gård which also means Gay's Farm.Īnimal lovers might take offence with the aptly titled Kattsjärten in Värmland, which has a local translation of Cat's Bottom. Whilst Djupröven also causes much embarrassment for its locals as it means Deep A***. In the ski town of Mora, there is a place christened Rövhålet that literally translates as The B***hole. There are a number of other Swedish villages with eyebrow-raising names.
Instead, the National Land Survey chose to follow the advice of Institute for Language and Folklore to the keep the original name.
