BS on F.U.C.K.
False etymologies One reason that the word [censored] is so hard to trace etymologically is that it was used far more extensively in common speech than in easily traceable written forms. There are several urban-legend false etymologies postulating an acronymic origin for the word. None of these acronyms was ever heard before the 1960s, according to the authoritative lexicographical work, The F-Word, and thus are backronyms. In any event, the word [censored] has been in use far too long for some of these supposed origins to be possible. Some of these urban legends are: That the word [censored] came from Irish law. If a couple were caught committing adultery, they would be punished "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge In the Nude", with "[censored]" written on the stocks above them to denote the crime. That it came from any of: "Fornication Under Carnal/Cardinal Knowledge" "Fornication Under [the] Control/Consent/Command of the King" "Fornication Under the Christian King" "False Use of Carnal Knowledge" "Felonious Use of Carnal Knowledge" "Felonious Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" "Full-On Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" "Found Under Carnal Knowledge" "Forced Unlawful Carnal Knowledge", referring to the crime of rape. |
