I have heard that the F*** word is actually a very old acronym.?

I'm not using it to avoid the site censors NOT to not offend. The last two word are Carnal Knowledge. Does anybody else know if this is true ? And what are the first two words ?

    If you're going with the "old acronym" idea, the words would be "Fornication Under Carnal Knowledge" or "File Under" or "Felonious Use (of)" or "Found Unlawful" or any of the other variations. But, as the other users have said, the word isn't actually from an acronym. It's really more of a backronym instead.

    Acronyms are fairly new, or at least their common usage is fairly new.

    If a word has existed since before about 1950, then it is unlikely that the word is an acronym

    F*** is definitely NOT an acronym

    No, it isn't true. Here's the etymology of the word.

    You can also read here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/****) but wiki isn't too reliable.
