Fake or truth? The origin of the word "FUCK"...


There was a time in a ancient England when people who didn't belong to the Royal Family couldn't make love, on contrary, they had to ask to the King to have sexual relation... So when they wished having children, they had to ask the consent of the king. So the king used to send an "outdoor" with the following words "Fornication Under Consent of the King" (F.U.C.K), and like this the word "FUCK" was born...


Now what? Is it fake or truth?

In my other blog, Fabiano Silveira added the following comment...

"Segundo meu dicionário Oxford Etimology (Etimologia é o ramo da lingüística que estuda a origem das palavras), a palavra "fuck" possui origem atrelada ao alemão "fokken", que significava "cópula de gado", e do suíço "fokka", que significa "copular". A historinha anterior é engraçadinha, folclórica, mas prefiro acreditar no dicionário do que nessa história disseminada pela internet. Abraços!"

That's it, probably the truth.

See ya!
