The F Word

[akarunway 1]

Just watched it on IFC. 2 thumbs up. Nazi cops at 2004 GOP convention in NYC.>http://www.fwordfilm.com/

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

Not true. Fuck is actually a derivative of the Old English word "fokken" which means "to beat aganst."

Most of the crap you get on the Internet about the so-called origin of certain words is total Bullshit.

Or more politely, "Folk Etymology".

I've heard the one about FUCK being

fornication under consent of the King

or, printed on the box of condoms:

"For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge"

I've also heard the one about SHIT coming from "Ship High In Transit"


All are complete bullshit, however. "Fuck" and "shit" are actually very old words derived from Germanic/Saxon roots.

Total bollocks

Look up the origin of the word in a dictionary then & see for yourself.

Just because it's on TV doesn't make it true.

For many people it does. Look at the electability of actors.

As in: "NO! Those Fokkers were Messerschmidts!"?

Fokken was also the Dutch word for fuckin', which English sailors learned from16th century Dutch sailors. One of the many contributions to English from other languages.
