[edit] Please add this to the Etymology section:
It is names after Fornification Under Command of the King, which was an old doctrine where the king slept with any newlywed womenYoungKeta 00:55, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
An Arabic etymology, via Spanish, from the word fajar has also been claimed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.56.48.12 (talk) 06:53, 20 February 2007 (UTC).
Why no mention of the German verb 'ficken' which is presumably related? 86.149.9.65 22:21, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
I just watched that Fuck documentary, and it states that "Fornication Under Command of the King" dates back to a playboy magazine (I think) around 1970. 24.136.88.151 03:21, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fock!
Is a German noun and should therefore be capitalized. 217.230.142.21 16:18, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Why do you have swear words in your enclopedia!?! --Rebeccarulz123 00:29, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

- Because the words are culturally important, especially this one, and because Wikipedia is not censored. - Ugliness Man 23:38, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
I see --Rebeccarulz123 00:29, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Real question is (and I believe this is appropriate): why the fuck not?--Xathos
All I have to add to the discussion is, fuck.
Dude! shut the fuck up, fuck this shit page!
Quit fucking crying. If you have a fucking problem with the word 'fuck', then go FUCK yourself! This is the most versatile word in the English language, and it pisses off less people than the word 'nigger', although not as much fun to say :-( Fuck is the MOST significant word in history, and has been used more times by more people than any other word. Period. Have a nice fucking day, and don't forget to fuck yourself! Fuck you later, douche bag...
[edit] this is ridiculous
The fact that you can say that Fuck is culturally important is wrong. What if a child was looking through here, and saw this, would that make you feel like he has learned something ge should know, i think this should be removed from wikipedia. It is ridiculous. signed, Dimosthenise
Um, pretty much every kid already knows about the word "fuck".69.141.79.71 22:10, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- As a matter of long-standing policy on the English Wikipedia, Wikipedia is not censored, not even for profanity. As someone who delighted in looking up profanity and obscene terms in an electronic version of the American Heritage Dictionary as a teen in the 90s and read (and disliked) Catcher in the Rye in high school, I fail to see the issue. - RedWordSmith 05:59, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
To Dimosthenise ... tell me how many languages can this word be used in and made sense...207.228.143.18 23:15, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] YOU ARE RIDICULOUS

[edit] Danish
In Denmark the word has seen a massive exposure and is used virtually everywhere. The word is not perceived quite as vulgar or offending as in English speaking countries, but it is still considered an offensive word and is used in the same fashion.
The danes have taken the word and use it as a danish word combining it with other words (for example "Fuck dig" meaning "fuck you" and "fuck af" meaning "fuck off"). The Danish handballer Anja Andersen wore a sweatshirt to a high profile handball match, with the words "Fuck Janteloven" written across the chest ( http://www.paint-pics.webbyen.dk/billed.asp?PrivatBilled=2709966 ) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jantelov
The impact off the word has actually meant that the Danish equvalent "kneppe" (that litterally means "to fuck") has been extended to having some of the same uses as fuck has (which it didnt have before). Hence it is now possible to say "knep af" (Fuck off), "moderknepper" (motherfucker), "knep dig selv" (fuck yourself) and so on. The emphasising use of fuck however is not transfered to "kneppe" so in these cases Danes still use fuck (ex: fucking godt = fucking good).
The word is used in radio, tv and even advertising without causing much disturbance. The reason for this could very well be, that the word is not a native word. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ClintDawg (talk • contribs) 17:47, 19 March 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Origin
"Fuck" is a word generated from the days after the Plague hit Britain. It is said that the then King ordered the poeple of the country to "Fornicate Under Command of the King" in order to raise the population after so many died. Over the years this has been abbreviated to "F.U.C.K" and used as a slang word that is considered very offensive. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.133.95.245 (talk • contribs) 15:00, March 21, 2007.
- There's an entire section of the article dedicated to false etymologies. --ElKevbo 21:21, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Just Laugh.
Quite simply, the word "fuck" is a derivation to profane extent of "fetch".
1. The lioness, would be where suitably having fucked the lion for his food - fucked in kind her cubs.
2. After casting it across the hallway with his distaste for the man's methods, His Lordship requested that the Sycophant Advisor "Fucked him his sword again".
In this antiquated lorical tale A Sycophantic advisor perjured a populace local to a Lord's Fortification with his way of cowardice. The monk would be known to beguile a crowd of audience in order to demonstrate the nature of rite to the people. Demonstrably the sword was not as such "fucked" but more mercifully fetched, for one who required it. A fucked weapon is without mercy.
In summary, the word is commonly employed to exaggerate the physicality of having been gifted in a minor sense. "I feel fucked" after a hard day's work indicates that the user feels as if newborn, additionally, having noted the obligatory cries of the newborn most apparently a life without appeal. I myself rarely have neither obligatory cries nor a life without appeal. I speculate that the two things are in kind and requisite to each other. A life without appeal fucks one obligatory cries :)
Summarily, "Far-Fetched" is an otherworldly truth, not necessarily a lie. I hope you do not find this Tide-Bite "Far-Fucked" :) Please excuse the presence of a reliable source as the only method of conveyance available to me is this demonstration.
P.S I find the official article to be largely inferrential and perhaps, more cynical than truthful. It appears more a cancellation of the profanity itself than a depiction of the universally sonic nature of known language.
