Question:

I know this may sound strange but I have friends in Brazil who's last name is F U C K?

Has anybody heard of this as being a surname.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: There are numerous families in South America with German origins, and FUCH is a legitimate surname that may be pronounced in a way that the rest of us could take as an offensive slang word.
And actually, I've heard of Americans doing the same in reverse.. taking a name/word from another country and mispronouncing it to where it is heard as something extremely offensive to the persons there.
So.. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, and answer it as a legitimate question, and not a head game.
