In the end, the constant jokes were just too much to take for the long-suffering residents of Butt Hole Road.

And so despairing households in the suburban street in Conisbrough, South Yorkshire, decided that the road's name simply had to change.

Resident Peter Sutton said he originally thought the street's name would be fun - but admits he soon got tired of the jokes.
Mr Sutton moved into the house vacated in 2003 by Paul and Lisa Allott, who were forced to move after becoming fed up with their street's name.

Mr Allott said: 'We'd heard every single gag there is and we'd had enough.
'We've had people flashing their bottoms for photographs by the drive, we've had people ringing us up with hilarious jokes about the street name and then we've had those who just don't believe us."
 
Jeez, that's nearly as bad as this place:

Augustina Lindlbauer, the manager of an area guesthouse, noted that the area had lakes, forests and vistas worth visiting, but there was an "obsession with Fucking". Lindlbauer recalled how she had to explain to a British female tourist "that there were no Fucking postcards."

Tarsdorf municipality's mayor Siegfried Hauppl stated that it was decided to keep the name as it had existed for 800 years, and further stated that "(e)veryone here knows what it means in English, but for us Fucking is Fucking — and it's going to stay Fucking."

Kommandant Schmidtberger, the local police chief, also hinted at other avenues to stop what he calls "foreign criminals" from disturbing order in the village. Schmidtberger, whilst not disclosing what other options were on the table, stated "What they are, I am not at liberty to disclose, but we will not stand for the Fucking signs being removed. It may be very amusing for you British, but Fucking is simply Fucking to us. What is this big Fucking joke? It is puerile."

In 2009, the European Union's OHIM trade marks agency disallowed a German brewery to market a beer called "Fucking Hell". They sued, and on 26 March 2010 got permission to market the beer. They claim the beer is actually named after the Austrian village Fucking and the German term for pale lager, hell.

Expletive the special ingredient in German brewer's new beer

DEREK SCALLY in Berlin
IF YOU’RE moved to drown your sorrows after a week of financial gloom, a German brewer has produced a drink that might just match your feelings. The company has been allowed by the European Trademarks Office to register a new brand of beer under the label “Fucking Hell”.
The brewers say their “hell” – German for light ale – is named after the Austrian village of Fucking (pronounced Fooking) near Salzburg. But the 93 Fucking villagers are worried that the unsolicited dedication will boost further the village’s notoriety among English-speaking tourists.
The EU’s Trademarks and Designs Registration Office had dismissed the original application, finding that it “used sexuality in order to express contempt and violent anger”. The board said it felt obliged to impose a limit on trademark names “in the case of upsetting, accusatory or derogatory signs”.
But the registration office’s appeals board overturned the original decision saying that, while it understood hell was “in Christian terms, the place of highest torment . . . Nor can it be considered as reprehensible to use existing place names in a targeted manner (as a reference to the place), merely because this may have an ambiguous meaning in other languages.
“The word combination contains no semantic indication that could refer to a certain person or group of persons,” the appeals board ruled. “Nor does it incite a particular act. It cannot even be understood as an instruction that the reader should go to hell. The meaning assumed by the examiner is, overall, an interjection used to express a deprecation, but it does not indicate against whom the deprecation is directed.”
No one, however, is cheering the news in the village of Fucking, 40km north of Salzburg near the border with Germany. Week in, week out, locals watch with a mixture of resignation and annoyance as tour buses pull up at the main road into their village. They like to have their picture taken in front of the place name sign urging drivers to reduce their speed: “Fucking – bitte nicht so schnell ” (please not so fast).
“There is nothing funny in the name to us and so I see no reason for all this,” said village mayor Franz Meindl. “There’s nothing we can do about it if other people laugh about it. We pronounce it differently in our dialect and it was never funny in any way.”
For anyone kicking themselves for missing out on this dubious beer marketing opportunity, consolation is near at hand. The village of Petting is still open for offers. It’s a short road from Petting to Fucking – about 35km.
