There were no fucking postcards

There was an obsession with fucking

What is this big Fucking joke?

Don’t touch the Fucking signs, folks!

Noooooooooo…..!

Nevermind, closer to home we still have Shitterton:

screenshot of the wikipedia article of the town of Shitterton. text reads Shitterton /ˈʃɪtətən/ is a hamlet in Bere Regis, Dorset, England. It includes a collection of historic thatched buildings dating back to the 18th century and earlier. Its name dates back at least the eleventh century and means "farmstead on the stream used as an open sewer". Shitterton has frequently been noted on lists of unusual place names, due to having the vulgar term "shitter" in its name. a photo of the big stone town sign with the caption:Shitterton sign, carved from Purbeck stone, and designed to be theft-proofALT
screenshot of the section 'Disappearing sign', a photo of a sign saying Shitterton captioned "An earlier sign, before it was stolen" rest of text as follows The hamlet's name has resulted in its sign repeatedly being stolen (a fate similar to that of Fugging (formerly Fucking), Upper Austria), requiring costly replacements to be acquired each time, to the increasing reluctance of the local council. As Ian Ventham, chairman of Bere Regis Parish Council, put it: Every two or three years somebody comes along and nicks our sign because, clearly, Shitterton is amusing. We think it was kids who would like to have it stuck on the wall in a den somewhere. I don't think it was malicious, they just did it for fun, but it was exasperating for us. We would get a nice new shiny sign from the council and five minutes later, it was gone. In 2010, the inhabitants banded together to purchase a 1.5-tonne block of Purbeck stone to place at the entrance to Shitterton, carved with the hamlet's name. More than half of the 50 households contributed £20 each and a further £70 was contributed by Purbeck district council. A truck and crane were hired by volunteers to put the stone in place, at a total cost of £680.Ian Ventham explained: "We thought, 'Let's put in a tonne and a half of stone and see them try and take that away in the back of a Ford Fiesta'."
