The orgins of the F word

[Masamune]

Look at what i got as a text message.

In ancient times in England before having sex, one needed special permission from the king. Those who got permission used to hang placard on their door which said, "Fornication Under Consent of King". That is short for F.U.C.K

Hence the origin of the word.

lol

Perhaps the earliest usage of the word in popular music was the 1938 Eddy Duchin release of the Louis Armstrong song "Ol' Man Mose". The words created a scandal at the time, resulting in sales of 170,000 copies during the Great Depression years when sales of 20,000 were considered blockbuster. The verse reads:
“ (We believe) He kicked the bucket,
(We believe) Yeah man, buck-buck-bucket,
(We believe) He kicked the bucket and ol' man mose is dead,
(We believe) Ahh, fuck it!
(We believe) Buck-buck-bucket,
(We believe) He kicked the bucket and ol' man mose is dead. ”

lol, great poetry.

[Keyblader110]

Learning something everyday huh? What a very interting word...... But how does the middle finger link to the word? My teach said the middle finger meant you had arrows back then with the king and whatnot.

Common Man : Oh Royal Highness, am I permitted to indulge in sexual acts with my partner

King : Yes, you may Fornicate Under Consent of King.
