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.



Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

I have trouble believing that somehow. I read once before that the word means "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge"??

I cant see that being married and having sex with your Wife could be considered fornication?? Oh well.. Smile

The "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" I read was about people who were charged in England back a few hundred years ago with having underage sex and they shortened the sentence to F.U.C.K. At least we can agree on ONE thing, it is an acronym Smile hehehhe

Please dont be offended Marc Smile



People have a habit of changing your direction through life

My dictionary of slang and euphemism suggests that neither acronym is actually the origin of the word 'fuck.' Though it does suggest that both are widely held beliefs. There is also a third, 'for the use of carnal knowlege.' The dictionary suggests that the origins are unknown, but most likely from one of the following: the German word 'ficken' (strike), the latin word 'pungo' (to prick), or the latin word 'futuere' via the French word 'foutre.' At any rate it is considered to be the dirtiest word in the English language and to refer to the male aspects of copulation; penetrating, thrusting, and ejaculation. The word was probably in use in the 1400s and probably originated in Scotland.

Sorry for the dissertation. I like the acronyms best. They are much more colorful.

Think good thoughts,
