What the F does F-CK mean?

It is the slang term for having sex, and is considered very vulgar.


The word F*CK has been around since the 15th century. According to the alt.usage.English FAQ:

The Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang (Random House, 1994, ISBN 0-394-54427-7) cites Middle Dutch fokken = "to thrust, copulate with"; Norwegian dialect fukka = "to copulate"; and Swedish dialect focka = "to strike, push, copulate" and fock = "penis".

It would seem to come from the German word, ficken, meaning to strike. A related word is the Middle Dutch, focken, which means much the same. The same word in French is "foutre", so it seems there is a common root somewhere, perhaps in the Latin word, futuere, or the Latin word Facere which means to make or do.

Others have claimed it is a corruption of the word "fecund", which means fruitful.

There are some who claim it stands for "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge", but this is a myth. Basically it means to have sex with someone. But it is also used in many other ways * An angry exclamation.
* If something is broken.
* Telling someone to go away.
* As an adjective when you are angry about something. * ... and many other ways. It is a very old and very versatile word. But it is not used in polite conversation.
