    the word f*ck was coined in 1735 in the city of foerestville in England. in this town all people were named f*ck. so everytime a person was born it was a result of a f*ck.little f*ck was born every day. there was a little f*ck, a big f*ck a greatest f*ck. f*ck was result of Mr and mrs f*ck. whenver a robbery had happend they use to ask who the f*ck did it. then these words spread to other parts of the owrld due to missionary. thats why people f*ck in missionarty position (LOL Joking)

    I heard it is an acronym for Fornication Under the Command of the King and that it arose out of some policy where the English were waging some sort of social engineering and accordingly before a woman was married the English Officer had to do that to her first to promote genetic purity among the backward tribes such as the Scots and Welsh and whatever.

    [****] is a very old word, recorded in English since the 15th century (few acronyms predate the 20th century), with cognates in other Germanic languages. The Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang (Random House, 1994, ISBN 0-394-54427-7) cites Middle Dutch fokken = "to thrust, copulate with"; Norwegian dialect fukka = "to copulate"; and Swedish dialect focka = "to strike, push, copulate" and fock = "penis". Although German ficken may enter the picture somehow, it is problematic in having e-grade, or umlaut, where all the others have o-grade or zero-grade of the vowel.

    AHD1, following Pokorny, derived "feud", "fey", "fickle", "foe", and "****" from an Indo-European root peig2 = "hostile"; but AHD2 and AHD3 have dropped this connection for "****" and give no pre-Germanic etymon for it. Eric Partridge, in the 7th edition of Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English (Macmillan, 1970), said that "****" "almost certainly" comes from the Indo-European root *peuk- = "to prick" (which is the source of the English words "compunction", "expunge", "impugn", "poignant", "point", "pounce", "pugilist", "punctuate", "puncture", "pungent", and "pygmy"). Robert Claiborne, in The Roots of English: A Reader's Handbook of Word Origin (Times, 1989) agrees that this is "probably" the etymon. Problems with such theories include a distribution that suggests a North-Sea Germanic areal form rather than an inherited one; the murkiness of the phonetic relations; and the fact that no alleged cognate outside Germanic has sexual connotations.

    **** - Word History -

    The obscenity **** is a very old word and has been considered shocking from the first, though it is seen in print much more often now than in the past. Its 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 **** 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 vv was used for w. This yields "fvccant [a fake Latin form] vvivys of heli." The whole thus reads in translation: "They are not in heaven because they **** wives of Ely [a town near Cambridge]."--

    In ancient England people could not have sex without consent from the king.When people wanteds to have a child they had to solicit permission from the monarchy. In turn they would supply a plaque to hangon the door when they had sexual relations.

    The plaque read...."Fornication Under Consent from the King"

    This is the origin of the word.

    My teacher told me it is an acronym for Forced Unlawful Carnal Knowledge.
