So the villagers of "Fucking" got together to pitch ideas for a new village name that couldn't be made fun of, and they settled on... "Fugging"?

There is also another town called fugging on another part of austria, that used to be spelled fucking but changed name more than a century ago. Language drift seems a reasonable guess.
