A phrase from the song, "Surfin' Bird" sung by The Trashmen in 1963.

The Bird = Extending the middle finger and "flipping someone off." Sign language for, "Fuck You!"

The "Word" = Originated in U.S. Prisons. Original meaning was, "my word is my bond", shortened to, "Word", meaning to, "speak the truth". See: Stephen Colberts segment on his show, "The Word".

Bird is the Word = Fuck You! Is the truth!

a misguided attempt to explain the origins of the word fuck(which is most likely germanic). sometimes said to stand for "Fornication Under Consent of King" or "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge", both of which are false.

General term. Refers to any sexual excretions, has emerged as an insulting verb, noun, adjective, etc. much like the word fuck.

A vocabulary revolving around the word fuck.

The word 'Fuck' originated in a phrase during a conflict between England and the French pre-napoleonic era. The British archers 'plucked' their crossbows, sending a hellfire of death towards the French soldiers. This struck fear into their hearts,and the British archers were feared in battle. When a band of these archers were captured, the French commander ordered that these men have their middle fingers amputated to assure that they would never be able to properly fire a crossbow again. The amputated comrades stumbled back to their armies, and the entirety of England caught wind of this blasphemy. The English rushed a French line and captured dozens of soldiers. It is said that once of the soldiers exclaimed "Pluck you" as a sign of defiance and hatred of the opposing army before killing the captured soldiers.

The middle finger thus is known as a sign of hatred. Moreover, "Pluck you" has evolved and changed with society and the times over the hundreds of years, eventually falling slang to "f**k you".
