Who knew?

Did you know?...The word "fuck" is actually an acronym. It dates back
to the Good Old Days, when England was severely underpopulated due to
the usual combination of fire/war/plague, and the King issued an
official order to... well, fuck, to replenish the population. Hence
the phrase "Fornicate Under Command of the King" passed into everyday
language.

Lots of people *think* they know, but they don't. This isn't true.
Fun, but not true. IIRC (but my memory is crap) it's from a Dutch
word.

other could not marry, but it was "Fornication Under the Consent of
the King" but no matter what it still FUCKS...<G>
