Revision as of 15:32, 15 April 2011
Not to be confused with Australia, which is in a different hemisphere, on a different continent, and speaks a language users here can actually understand.
Austria is a country in Europe. The rural part of Austria is full of mountains, snow, goats and the like. Carynthia is full of lakes. Vienna is the capital of Austria, and Vienna is full of people, music, culture, coffee houses and such things. The cutlet dish Wiener schnitzel is also named after Vienna (it comes from the city's German name). Americans later ripped off the pork version of the dish (it was originally made with veal) in the form of pork tenderloin.[1] Sacher-Torte is also a famous Viennese recipe and closely connected with the Hotel Sacher in the city. [1]
Austria is also rife with Roman Catholics.
On occasion, people get mail addressed to Austria mixed up with Australia, making it a dicey proposition when somebody in Austria wins your eBay auction.
Austrians speak German (and can even be understood by Germans to an extent, unlike speakers of Swiss German) and have a Germanic culture but the majority don't want to be part of Germany.

Fucking
Fucking is a village in Austria. It's pronounced "FOO-king." This is because of intense petitioning from its Scottish residents.
What did you think you would find when you typed "fucking" into the search box?
