Laughed out loud.

I assume the author is either American or German. In either case, his editor should have told him about his unfortunate surname before accepting the book for publication.

Or perhaps they did, and he thinks it's a hoot, too.

I hope for his sake he is, or I don't want to even think about his time at school...

And, to think, people wonder why I regularly buy copies of Viz.

I was at a meeting the other day chaired by a German whose name was Dr Fücks. For some reason he prefers to spell it "Fuecks".

I'll be fuceked if i study this bloke

There was a Czech (I believe) dramatist whose name is usually transcribed as Fucek, but in Czech the 'ce' can be written more quickly as a c with an accent over it.

Füchs, surely? As in the plant named after its discoverer of that name, Fuchsia?

That's what you would have thought. But no, very definitely Fücks. Or as he preferred, Fuecks.
