Human Body

Contrary to popular opinion, the word "fuck" is not an acronym for the phrase "Fornication Under Command of the King." It is a very old word that is hard to trace because the editors of the initial Oxford English Dictionary considered the word taboo in 1893. It may have a Scandinavian origin, similar to the Norwegian word fukka, meaning to "copulate," or the Swedish foka, meaning "to copulate, strike, push," or fock, meaning "penis."e
