The etymology of this term is said to have originated from many a possibility, including truth and farcity. The highest possibility is that of Germanic origin, being it is found in many a cognate throughout several Germanic languages. German- Ficken (to copulate). Dutch- Fokken (to breed). dialectical Norwegian- fukka (to copulate. dialectical Swedish- fucka (to strike, copulate) and fuck (penis). It also has possible Celtic, Greek, Latin, and Anglo-Saxon origins, most of which are based on situational absolutes.
Many farce etymologies of this term are of acronymic origin for the word, such as:
- Fornication Under Carnal/Cardinal Knowledge
- Fornication Under Control/consent/command (of the) King
- False Use (of) Carnal Knowledge
- Felonious Use (of) Carnal Knowledge
- Forced Unlawful Carnal Knowledge (generaly used to refer to rape).
Today, in america and many other countries, this term has been morphed and twisted into a much more "useful" form of usage. It's current definition is that of many, all molding the term into explitive form. Commonly refered to as the F Bomb, it can be used to express many emotions, such as anger, frustration, excitement, arousal, anxiety, being overwhelmed, being surprised, etc. It's most common form is that of an interjection, similar to missuse of the terms "bloody" in the UK, or "bloomin" in Australia. Usually "the" preceeds this term, almost acting as a disclaimer of sorts. All in all, it's a word that is seemingly taboo and yet so commonly used today.
