    Reputedly, there are only eleven times in history where the "F" word has been considered acceptable for use ... they are as follows:

    • 11. "What the @#$% do you mean we are sinking?"
      —Capt. E.J. Smith ofRMS Titanic, 1912

      10. "What the @#$% was that?"
      —Mayor of Hiroshima, 1945

      9. "Where did all those @#$%ing Indians come from?"
      —Custer, 1877

      8. "Any @#$%ing idiot could understand that."
      —Einstein, 1938

      7. "It does so @#$%ing look like her!"
      —Picasso, 1926

      6. "How the @#$% did you work that out?"
      —Pythagoras, 126 BC

      5. "You want WHAT on the @#$%ing ceiling?"
      —Michelangelo, 1566

      4. "Where the @#$% are we?"
      —Amelia Earhart, 1937

      3. "Scattered @#$%ing showers....My ass!"
      —Noah, 4314 BC

      2. "Aw c'mon. Who the @#$% is going to find out?"
      —Bill Clinton, 1999
    and (drum roll, please)....................


    • 1. "Geez, I didn't think they'd get this @%#*^ing mad."
      —Osama Bin Laden, 2001, 2002, 2003

    Ok, that was fairly funny. That particular word is no longer a part of my vocabulary, but it was humorous.

    When I was in graduate school, Michigan State had a contract with the State Department to put on a weekend 'welcome to America' orientation session for non-US professionals who were coming to the US for training -- scientists, air traffic controllers, firefighters, etc. This was done at a lovely resort in Cacapon, West Virginia.

    When people arrived, they were given "Howdy, my name is..." badges and a felt tip marker to fill in the name they wanted to be called for the weekend.

    One earnest businessman from Thailand, on his first trip outside his country, dutifilly filled in: "Howdy, my name is PHUC."

    When we gently explained the problem, he seemed quite annoyed at being unable to use his own name. On his next attempt, he filled in:
    "Howdy, my name is MR. JONGLERTJESDAWONG"

    In my young and boorish days as a resident student, both of a foreign student's one syllable names began with an "F" and ended with a "K" but no "U" sound.

    To all present he was known as F**k F**k.

    Says who?

    Obviously you are using an inaccurate translation.

    You know that "go forth and multiply" thing in the KJV. :D

    An interesting question would be - does ancient Hebrew have any profanities? I am told that some languages do not.

    Many examples of English profanity are simply the Anglo-Saxon based word as opposed to the Latin based word. Kind of a middle ages class distinction.

    Anecdotal Conclusion

    In all seriousness, I believe that the English word "fuck" is a slang abbreviation for the word "fornicate." The abbreviation rolls off the tongue easier.

    For example:
    • They were fuckin'.

      -- vs --
    • They were fornicating.

    I thought it came from the word in German "Frichen" which mean strike.

    Plase follow the link for a lesson in English, I am posting the link since we are all adults, but in any event if this is offesive to anyone or does breaks the rules of the board, My appologies and the adm may remove the link.

    Thanks,

    I always thought it was an abbreviation for:

    Fornication Under the Consent of the King.

    I think if a knight did some heroic deed he had a free pass to bang the king's daughter.

    "I grant thee one @#!*" :D :D

    I thought it was the abbreviation given to stockade prisoners who committed certain crimes.

    Blame it on all that clean living for the missed opportunity. You can always cover your topic in your PhD.
