  1. Scandinivians look in old dictionary for etymology


  2. In ancient England a person could not have s*x unless you had consent of the King (unless you were in the Royal Family). When anyone wanted to have a baby, they got consent of the King, the King gave them a placard that they hung on their door while they were having s*x. The placard had F.*.*.*. (Fornication Under Consent of the King) on it.

  3. it's derived from german - flikken, meaning "to strike".

  4. idk.

    but whoever it was..

    they were a fcuking genius.

    lmao.

  5. A long ago in England was once at a golf course. He meant to yell fore (which is what you say when a ball might hit someone) but he accidentally said duck ....so it came out as f-u-c-k.

  6. The study of the origins of words is called "etymology." The F word has an obscure etymology because it was left out of so many early dictionaries, but it dates back to about 1200 AD. There are several theories of where it might have come from, they're all explained on the website below. The most popular belief is that it was originally a surname, literally "John le F---er".

    The King story is a myth. It sounds similar to a popular chain email that falsely explains the origin of the S word ("ship high in transit") - also a huge myth. Words do not evolve from acronyms - they're much more ancient and complex. That website will tell you everything.

    Edit: You'll have to enter the F word yourself into the search engine on that website. The URL has the word in it, so Yahoo is blocking it.

  7. that a interesting question..when u find out..hit me the fu@@ up..lol
