Does that mean their beer, "Fucking Hell" [0] will have to rebrand?

I do believe you need the second `k`, ie “Frakking”.

Maybe it's a weird sex thing involving Jonathan Frakes.

It’s a sci-fi thing to get around censors. Famously used in BSG

A lot of people don't know this, but it takes about 30min to go from Petting to Fucking. See https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Fucking,+Austria/83367+Petti...

Well, that's unfortunate that they decided to change the name. But there's always Intercourse, PA if you're looking for a fun sounding place to go: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Intercourse,+PA/@40.036806...

And Dildo, in Newfoundland

Bird-in-hand gets you pretty close to Paradise, but not as nice as Intercourse.

A lot of town names in that area are like this for some probably not-perverse reason.

https://www.vaguelyrudeplacesmap.com/ has a whole collection.

To add confusion Austria will then have two places "Fugging, formerly known as Fucking".

You need to reverse the directions there.
