Do any of you know how the word FUCK came to be?

It's not only true, but quite fascinating as well.

:LMFAO:

Tony you post at times the most random threads lol

GOOD Q! i don't know where the F word came from .

Well I do lol and thank you for noticing my randomness :}

Are you asking or telling? Because my history teacher told us about 5 origins of the word.

One day i lost at madden and i just yelled FUCK...I made the word!

lol Randomness FTW

I STILL want to know where the F word came to be ? lol

I'm telling. Did you hear this particular origin before Nick C.

It derives from Old England when the citizenry had to ask permission of their Kings to bed a lady. Then they would have to write the acronym F (ornication) U (nder) the C(onsent) of the K(ing) to make a note of it that the King approved. And ever since then the name stuck.

I'm too lazy to write right now so I'm using the power of COPY AND PASTE

Ex1:In ancient England a person could not have sex 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 sex. The placard had F.*.*.*. (Fornication Under Consent of the King) on it. Now you know where that came from.

Ex2:The word fuck comes from colonial times, when someone would be punished for 'prostitution' It was an acronym for the words

'For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge'

FUCK was written on the stocks that held these criminals because For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge was too long to go on the stocks.

Ex3: I always heard that "F.U.C.K." originated in the 1800's in London, when they used to charge prostitutes "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge". So officer got sick and tired of writing those, um, lessee, 26 characters, not including spaces, so it got abbreviated FUCK and stuck.

And the one of the most backed of the origins is...

The word fuck did not originate as an acronym. It crept, fully formed, into the English language from Dutch or Low German around the 15th century (it's impossible to say precisely when because so little documentary evidence exists, probably due to the fact that the word was so taboo throughout its early history that people were afraid to write it down). The American Heritage Dictionary says its first known occurrence in English literature was in the satirical poem "Flen, Flyss" (c.1500), where it was not only disguised as a Latin word but encrypted — gxddbov — which has been deciphered as fuccant, pseudo-Latin for "they fuck."

WOW lol

thanks I guess you do learn something everyday lol .
