==History== Fjuckby is first mentioned in 1316. Prior to the 1930s, the village was known as Fjukeby. In the 1930s, the spelling of the name of this small village was changed to Fjuckby. With the rise of international travel by Anglophones, and the rise of global communications, English-speaking tourists have traveled to Fjuckby out of amusement at the name in order to ridicule it. Inhabitants of Fjuckby endured years of ridicule over the name, which is not only similar to the English word "fuck", but also to the Swedish juck ("pelvic thrust").
