In ancient England, People could not have sex without consent from the King.:gob:
When people wanted to have a child, they had to solicit a permission to the Monarchy, in turn they would supply a plaque to hang on their door when they had sexual relations.:yes:

The plaque read…

“Fornication Under Consent of the King”
( FUCK )

This is the origin of the word.. :yes:

( urban legend / myth maybe, but is sounds good to me.. lol..dasser :yes: )

According to the alt.usage.english (http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/hypertext/faq/usenet/alt-usage-english-faq/faq.html) FAQ:


[Fuck] is a very old word, recorded in English since the 15th century (few acronyms predate the 20th century), with cognates in other Germanic languages. The Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang (Random House, 1994, ISBN 0-394-54427-7) cites Middle Dutch fokken = "to thrust, copulate with"; Norwegian dialect fukka = "to copulate"; and Swedish dialect focka = "to strike, push, copulate" and fock = "penis". Although German ficken may enter the picture somehow, it is problematic in having e-grade, or umlaut, where all the others have o-grade or zero-grade of the vowel. AHD1, following Pokorny, derived "feud", "fey", "fickle", "foe", and "fuck" from an Indo-European root peig2 = "hostile"; but AHD2 and AHD3 have dropped this connection for "fuck" and give no pre-Germanic etymon for it. Eric Partridge, in the 7th edition of Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English (Macmillan, 1970), said that "fuck" "almost certainly" comes from the Indo-European root *peuk- = "to prick" (which is the source of the English words "compunction", "expunge", "impugn", "poignant", "point", "pounce", "pugilist", "punctuate", "puncture", "pungent", and "pygmy"). Robert Claiborne, in The Roots of English: A Reader's Handbook of Word Origin (Times, 1989) agrees that this is "probably" the etymon. Problems with such theories include a distribution that suggests a North-Sea Germanic areal form rather than an inherited one; the murkiness of the phonetic relations; and the fact that no alleged cognate outside Germanic has sexual connotations.


Oh, FUKKA!!!! Somebody's fikken with my fock!

I heard about that years ago... the reason they needed permission was due to food shortages or something to that extent, therefore they needed to keep a hold on population levels (Kinda what they still do in China)
