dragonblade0's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- fact of the day quick fact - one of the earliest uses of the word 'fuck', or maybe even the earliest use of, was as an acronym. fuck stood for Fornication Under Consent of the King. there's also "The acronym FUCK stood for: For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. Back in the day(s) when it was illegal to have sex before marriage, if it was found that you were an unmarried girl and having sex, you were put in jail for F.U.C.K. Hence our later use of it as "fucking." (English major -- I know these things!!) - Mandy" Thanks to my good friend mandy. quite the origins huh? and to think that it's essentially a part of the english language these days, used for absolutely anywhere, anytime, verb, noun, adjective. impressive, i'd say. 1:18 p.m. - 2004-02-25 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
