Fuck

Mar 11, 2006 13:05

Yup. "Fuck" is a swear word and a bad one to say, et cetera et cetera et cetera. But maybe it is not as bad as everyone thinks. Fuck is actually thought to be an acronym. It stands for 1)"fornication under consent of the king," which was supposedly tacked up over the doors of government-approved brothels in early England. (2) It stands for "for the use of carnal knowledge," which allegedly was stamped on condoms, or, 3) used the same way as "for unlawful carnal knowledge."
XD! I thought this was really awesome. I'm going to tell this to everyone now and tell them what it really means. Pass it on!
