I think in Norway, Finland, or Sweden but I can not find it on google. It was on a Graham Norton episode I saw a few years back. I am not sure on the spelling however I distinctly remember Graham calling some tourism board and asking them what there was to do in "Fucking". The person responded "It is very cold there and there is not much to do." Or words to that effect. Also Butz is the name of a somewhat famous (or extremely famous if you are from the Washington DC area as I am :-) *American* footballer (or fake footballer if you prefer). He retired about 15 years ago. But I seem to remember hearing that there was some kind historic significance in his past. In short (I know too late! :-) the town(s) were probably named after some significant Butz. Finally I can not read a post about silly city/town names without mentioning my favorite "Accident Maryland" -- located about 170 miles NW of Washington DC.

Very worthy, I mean :) Also, let us not forget the villages of Nether Wallop and Over Wallop in Hampshire, but surely, everybody already knows about these! And I’m sure it is. Very worthy, I mean :)
