  • Thank you kindly. Sadly I cannot. Yesterday I was on a trip and happened to pass through one such location, which is why I can talk about it now.

    The folk tale was that some Polish cartographers were mapping the area and asked some locals where they were. The locals shrugged and answered in their language a variant of “Fuck knows”. The cartographers took it to heart and the official name of that location on their map became a slightly altered variation of that joking reply.
    Naturally later on, a copy of that map was used by the government in charge for census and the name remained sealed in stone.
