Please Ban Use of This Word

I really don’t care what a girl calls me as long as it isn’t meant as a hurtful insult.

I believe that is a myth. The word may actually be derived from the German “fikken” or something which means “seed.” I’m not sure because my mind is a bit mushy right now. For the last hour I have been staring hypnotically at Ironhell’s chicken laying an egg over and over and over…

Yeah, it’s all in the spirit. She can always call me Fucker if she has a smile on her face and a gleam in her eyes.

And livestock? Livestock?? BEFORE you even get her naked you’re suggesting livestock?? At this tender stage in a “courtship,” quick interjection here, mid-Damici rant – who’s talking about courtship? I’m talking about kidnapping, brother. :slight_smile: the wildest animal one can get away with proposing is a snapping turtle. Anything beyond a mere snapping turtle at this stage and you’ll have the poor girl fastening her chastity belt and running for the hills. (As I’m sure Boingogirl1 is about to illustrate for you). :slight_smile:

HEY Hey hey!! Goats need love too. No turtles… they don’t like salad dressing. I have two large geckos that are quite friendly, however… should one of my victims have some kind of phobia to reptiles that I could explore.

Now on to the more pressing matter at hand, you estrogen-laden, no-game-having, sorry excuse for a “man” . . . You saw what happened to Uday and Qusay? Well, no more need be said on this subject. Be very afraid, and poison my threads no more!

I ain’t scared, sorry. HUUUUUUUUBBEEEEE!!! Hubby hubby hubby! I like my new Damici call. Now where’s my camoflage pants? Can’t go hunting in slacks…[/quote]

Thank you for proving my point: I didn’t realize that it was Billy the Goat who you were trying to seduce. I was under the mistaken impression that perhaps it was, oh, a chick, or somehing. :slight_smile: And for THAT, correctomundo, kidnapping WOULD be your only option. So sad . . .

You use that H-word one more time, motherfucker, and I’ve got a whole army of people, whose boot will be applied so firmly to your shapeless, never-done-a-squat-without-pink-dumbells-in-your-life ass that you’ll be banished not just from these forums but from the whole damn ‘Net!!! Keep talkin’, Soy-Boy!!!

From an encyclopedia. Enjoy.

The etymology of fuck has given rise to a great deal of speculation, which should be regarded skeptically. The authoritative Oxford English Dictionary is quite cautious in providing an etymology for this word. In the quotation below, the dictionary’s usual abbreviations are spelled out for clarity:

Early modern English fuck, fuk, answering to a Middle English type *fuken (weak verb) [which is] not found; ulterior etymology unknown. Synonymous German ficken cannot be shown to be related.

The first known occurrence, in code because of its unacceptability, is in a poem composed in a mixture of Latin and English sometime before 1500. The poem, which satirizes the Carmelite friars of Cambridge, England, takes its title, “Flen flyys,” from the first words of its opening line, “Flen, flyys, and freris”; that is, “Fleas, flies, and friars”. The line that contains fuck reads “Non sunt in coeli, quia gxddbov xxkxzt pg ifmk.”

The Latin words “Non sunt in coeli, quia,” mean “They [the friars] are not in heaven, since.” The code “gxddbov xxkxzt pg ifmk” is easily broken by simply substituting the preceding letter in the alphabet, keeping in mind differences in the alphabet and in spelling between then and now: i was then used for both i and j; v was used for both u and v; and two v’s were used for w.

This yields “fvccant (a fake Latin form) vvivys of heli.” The whole thus reads in translation: “They are not in heaven since they fuck wives of Ely (a town near Cambridge).” From The American Heritage Dictionary, 4th Edition.

As the OED notes, some have attempted to draw a connection to the German word ficken (to fuck, in dialects: to rub, to scratch, and historically to strike).

Other possible connections are to Latin futuere (hence the French foutre, the Italian fottere, the vulgar peninsular Spanish follar and joder, and the Portuguese foder). However, there is considerable doubt and no clear lineage for these derivations.

These roots, even if cognate, are not the original Indo-European word for to fuck; that root is likely *h3yebh-, (“h3” is the H3 laryngeal) which is attested in Sanskrit (yabhati) and the Slavic languages (Russian yebat`), among others: compare Greek “oiph?” (verb), and Greek “zephyros” (noun, ref. a Greek belief that the west wind caused pregnancy). However, Wayland Young (who agrees that these words are related) argues that they derive from the Indo-European *bhu- or *bhug-, believed to be the root of “to be”, “to grow”, and “to build”. [Young, 1964]

Spanish follar has a different root; according to Spanish etymologists, the Spanish verb “follar” (attested in the 19th century) derives from “fuelle” (bellows) from Latin “folle(m)” < Indo-European “bhel-”; ancient Spanish verb folgar (attested in the 15th century) derived from Latin “follicare”, ultimately from follem/follis too.

A possible etymology is suggested by the fact that the Common Germanic fuk-, by an application of Grimm’s law, would have as its most likely Indo-European ancestor *pug-, which appears in Latin and Greek words meaning “fight” and “fist”.

In early Common Germanic the word was likely used at first as a slang or euphemistic replacement for an older word for “intercourse”, and then became the usual word for “intercourse”. Then, fuck has cognates in other Germanic languages, such as Middle Dutch fokken (to thrust, to copulate), dialectical Norwegian fukka (to copulate), and dialectical Swedish focka (to strike, copulate) and fock (penis). A very similar set of Latin words that have not yet been related to these are those for hearth or fire, “focus/focum” (with a short o), fiery, “focilis”, Latin and Italian for hearthly/hearthling, “foc[c]ia/focac[c]ia”, and fire, “focca”, and the Italian for bonfire, “focere”. But these words came from New Latin, centuries after Middle Dutch.

There is perhaps even an original Celtic derivation; futuere being related to battuere (to strike, to copulate); which may be related to Irish bot and Manx bwoid (penis). The argument is that battuere and futuere (like the Irish and Manx words) comes from the Celtic *bactuere (to pierce), from the root buc- (a point). An even earlier root may be the Egyptian petcha (to copulate), which has a highly suggestive hieroglyph.

Or perhaps Latin “futuere” came from the root “fu”, Common Indo-European “bhu”, meaning “be, become” and originally referred to procreation.

Fake etymologies

There are several urban-legend fake etymologies postulating an acronymic origin for the word. In the most popular version, it is said that the word “fuck” came from Irish law. If a couple committing adultery were “Found Under Carnal Knowledge” they would be penalized, with “FUCK” written on the stocks above them to denote the crime. Variants of this include “For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge”, “Felonius Use of Carnal Knowledge”, “Fornication Under Carnal Knowledge”, and “Forced Unlawful Carnal Knowledge”, a label supposedly applied to the crime of rape. In another story, a sign reading “Fornication Under Consent of the King” was supposedly placed on signs above houses in medieval England during times of population control.

All these acronyms were never heard before the 1960s, according to the authoritative lexicographical work, The F-Word, and so are backronyms.

Another prominent fake etymology references a medieval battle between the French and the English, in which English archers were taken prisoner. The archers were said to have had their middle fingers cut off, effectively preventing them from being able to “pluck” the bowstring after escaping or being released. The story follows that after seizing the French town where the prisoners were being held and learning of the act, the English archers who hadn’t been captured began raising middle fingers to the captured French and uttering the curse, “Pluck you,” in remembrance of the act. Over time the phrase is said to have evolved into the modern “Fuck you.”[/i]

Good Lord, Michael. HAHAHA. Ok, perhaps F.U.C.K. is a myth, but I’m betting there is no history for the word frick…other than by people who want to curse but try to be funny and say frick. Fuck frick.

[i]Euphemisms

In situations where using or mentioning the word directly may be considered inappropriate, people often bowdlerize it, either referring to it with terms such as the f-word or the f-bomb (and in particular, the phrase “dropping the F-bomb”), or replacing it with feck, flip, fudge, freak, fork, fook, “fop”, fink, fizzuck, frick, frickin, fetch, fck, fk, f-u! (or simply eff), fahq, fauck, “fook”, “fack” pock, fock, f0ck, fwck, fyck, fukc, fvck, phoque (actually French for seal), fawk, fcuk, frig, yuck (as in yuck foo!) or the “1337 speak” terms phuck, puck, funk, fukk fuk, or f. (Although one dictionary meaning of frig is fuck, the rarity of its use renders it less offensive.)

In software contexts, fsck, fuk, fark and f2k are also used. In the formerly British Caribbean nations it is sometimes spelled fock. Fark is a bowdlerization which originated in the British Commonwealth countries, derived from exaggerated pronunciation in, for example, the Australian accent (but see also fark.com).

In such circumstance, initialisms or acronyms derived from phrases including fuck may be expanded substituting another word beginning with F, such as euphemising “FUBAR” as “Fouled Up Beyond All Recognition” or translating “RTFM” as “Read The Friendly/Fine Manual”.

The fashion house French Connection United Kingdom controversially uses its initials, usually in lower case, fcuk, as a trademark symbol. The word appears on some clothing sold by French Connection, including clothes marketed to teenagers.

The previously mentioned fsck usage is derived from the Unix command fsck(8) for “file-system check”. It has been noted that this command is particularly appropriate, as it may be an option of last resort.

In the Irish sitcom Father Ted the word fuck was replaced with feck, a common slang word in Ireland that was acceptable to audiences in other countries. Similarly, people sometimes replace fuck with bloody, a British expletive similar in function but relatively inoffensive.

The phrase “fucking hell” has at times been replaced by editors with “felching heck,” an ironic attempt at euphemism given the arguably more offensive?but not as widely known?denotation of felching.

Both versions of Battlestar Galactica use the fictitious expletive frak (also spelled frack or fraq) in the same contexts that fuck would be normally expected. Similarly, Farscape uses the term frell, and Babylon 5 uses frag. The various versions of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy often use photon or zark in place of fuck; the 2005 movie features the character Zaphod Beeblebrox saying “zarking-A”.

The Legion of Superheroes use “sprock” as one of their many substitute swear words.[/i]

That being said, I agree, fuck frick.

OOOOoo!! You so scary! And I even got a “soy-boy” thrown at me. LOL

The pink dumbells imagery was good, though. Kudos for that, I like your style. You are very tough, to be sure, and when you find some nice “missionary-only” girl who will make you a sandwich once in a while, you shall make a very good hubby for her.

OOPS!! DID I USE THE H-WORD!!!???!!!

I would say that I’m sorry… but I’m not. :slight_smile:

PS How did you know that I’m a motherfucker? Have you been peeking in the milfs.com website again? Naughty, naughty!

Yeah, I guess goats would like ice cream too. Plus there’s that cold = hard-nipple thing which makes it easier to put the clamps on. I guess that would mean I could leave the electro-stimulator in the closet, 'cause then I wouldn’t really need it all that much.

Thanks for the idea, michael. You’re a hell of a guy.
