Šukačka (German: Schukatschen[1]) is a hamlet in Čachrov in Klatovy District in the Plzeň Region of the Czech Republic. As of 2021, one family lived there.[2]

Name

The settlement is known for its unusual name, which is slang for 'fucking' in Czech. Theories about the etymology include from the German word Schukhater, which means something like "cat in boots", or the Serbian word šuka, meaning 'goat', and which would refer to goats that were herded there.[3] [4]
