The Orogin of the F Word ???

[Eurodave]

AS my mate Witi Reparte' once said "When I saw FUCK on all the farnau's longdrops I thought it was 'For Us Coloured Kids' au"

What word starts with an F & ends in UCK?









FiretrUCK

[StoneChucker]

Nice comedic origin of the word fuck.
(Volume is a little soft)

[Pixie]

Both explanations that attribute the origin of the word Fuck to acronyms are totally fictitious.
Philologists have shown that the word's roots (no pun intended) can be traced back to primitive Indo-european.

Any suggestion of an acronym (F- U- C- K- ) is a non-starter, as the word goes back to at least the 16th century. Probably connected indirectly with the Latin futuere. From futuere comes the French foutre which has almost completely lost its original meaning and is used colloquially like the English F word in phrases like "fous-moi le camp" -bugger off - but is not considered nearly as objectionable. To indicate the activity originally denoted by futuere, modern French uses enculer (which is considered rude) from the word "cul" - arse.

Fecund basically means ready to produce progeny. Way back in the dim darks blokes would get together for a few beers after work and the ones who had lined up a willing moisty would say......
"I'm going on a fecund date tonight" (say it fast for best effect)

Um. Germanic/Saxon via Sanskrit, then?

My dear old ma is very into her languages (studied Old English as a mature student) and I distinctly recall her saying there were some examples of it used in very old Viking graffiti at old religious sites. The example she used was something along the lines of "If you're ever in Stockholm go and see Helga the whore. She's the best f*ck in all of Sweden".
I think it's often referred to as 'Saxon language'; but then again, it's silly o'clock in the morning, and I've been at the beer...
