ADULTS ONLY: Did you know that the F word is not an acronym for Fornication Under Consent of the King?

Watch this Video. It's a completely legitimate and informative discussion of where the F word and other swear words have come from in the English language.

What do you think?

After watching the video, did you learn anything? I know I did.

I hesitated to watch that video because of the shocking content. After all, I would never use such language and my sensibilities are offended by such offensive words.

What? You don't believe me?

Okay, I did watch the video and found that shit informative and fucking amusing.

[Lliam]

Thanks for the MHO, Tom!

I never gave it much thought.

[AviatorTom]

@exitseven Did you watch the video. It's hilarious! And instructional!

[exitseven]

Everyone knows thats a myth but it's humour keeps it going. I remember hearing a story as a child about a town here that wanted to keep it's status as having the countries smallest population so it brought in a law along the same lines. Unfortunately I can't remember the name.

[SaoirseS]

Yes I knew that. I also know Ship High In Transit is not the origin of the poop word.

[purplepoppy]

Poop probably comes from pu, an aincient word for a bad smell that evolved into putrid, pus, putain etc.

[CrystalPeak]

Interesting. A guy told me it was the original name for golf. Of course, he just thrown his five iron in a pond. 😹

[Shiprex]

It's irrelevant but a cool story.

[Xawyx-2]

I never knew that, very intriguing indeed.
