The word “Fuck” means…
(alibi / snapplenshit)
“Fornication Under Consent of the King”way back in the old days, people had to get permission to have sex. So they would go to the King,ask for permission and go to a room called “FUCK”.
Fuck then turned into a slang word many years later.
cool little fact and shit
I wish this were true. It’s a much better story than the actual origin. Like many words, “fuck” started off as one thing and got transformed and mutated until it was what we know today.
The actual origin is iffy. Probably some guy in the 13th century stubbed his toe, made a noise that sounded like “ffffuuuck” and thought to himself, “that would be a good word to use for gettin’ busy.”
It can be traced back to the Middle Dutch word “fokken.” Which means “to thrust, copulate with.” Copulate is a funny word. It always makes me think of a tardy police officer.
Then the Norwegians got a hold of it and made “fukka.” Which is “to copulate.” I guess they didn’t thrust in Norway back then.
The Swedes felt like they also needed a cool word for sexy time, so they came up with “focka” and expanded the definition to “strike, push, or copulate.” Kinky. And they also had the word “fock” which is another word for penis. So you can focka a hot Swedish babe with your fock. That is unless you get fock-blocked by her ugly sister Helga.
So if you hear or see someone trying to tell you these phrases created our most beloved curse word, you can tell them to go eat pop rocks, drink some coke, and die.
Common acronym urban legends:
- Fornication Under Consent of the King (He gets to watch too)
- Fornication under Christ, King (I had no idea Jesus was a top)
- For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge (Van Halen album)
- File Under Carnal Knowledge (how Scotland Yard marked rape files)
And that is the fokken truth.
