Where does the word f*ck come from??????

It is actually an abreviation!!!! it stands for FORNICATING UNDER CONSENT of the KING!!!!

In years past people were not allowed to become pregnant without the kings consent.... (in the days of Elizabeth I and II).


No no no no no! And certainly not from the days of Elizabeth I -- she reigned from 1558 to 1603, and the word has been recorded in English since the 15th century. The etymology is apparently uncertain... Middle English, possibly of Germanic or Latin derivation... But it was not an acronym. (nor is "golf", nor is "tips" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" /> )
