The history of the F word

[blindzebra]

Contrary to manys belief that it comes from the German word Ficken (to strike) It owes it's heritage to a slightly more easterly country. Yes, England once again plays a part in history. Back in midevil England it was illegal to have sex or fornicate unless married. Even if you were married, you had to pay a tax to the king in order to be allowed to have sex. Rather than keep a roster of who had paid and who hadn't, being that the literacy rate was so low, they decided to post a sign over the front door in order to tell who had paid their taxes. The sign read, "F.U.C.K" Known in full as, "Fornication under the consent of the king." Thusly turned into a verb, to****. To fornicate under consent of the king. See kiddies. history can be fun
