Hold up...is the F-word an acronym?
January and Dax briefly wondered if this was true before basically being like:While January and Dax were happy to move on, I was not! Is everyone's favorite swear actually an acronym? Does it really have roots in some archaic king's law? I NEEDED ANSWERS, FOR FUCK'S SAKE!In order to find out the truth, I fired up the old computer and did a little online reading. Here's what I found out :There are actually a lot of supposed acronyms for the F-word.
, many will tell you that"fornicate under command of the king" was a proclamation the king made that ordered people to reproduce after the English population was decimated by the plague. That's a cool story, but with so many different acronyms and stories for the F-word, they can't all be true, right?wrote a piece that specifically debunked Grampy Jones'"fornication under consent of the king" claim.
One of their numerous reasons:"fornication" by definition is sex outside of marriage, and no king would have consented to sex out of wedlock.With a few exceptions, most words based on acronyms have their origins in the 20th century.. Etymologists think the Old German word ficken/fucken, meaning"to strike or penetrate" is where the F-word came from. So it was a word that made its way into the English language, and not one created by British speakers, like, say, a king making a proclamation.
