From where the most spoken word FUCK came in existence. In Encient England people could not have sex without the king's Permission, So to have a baby they had to get the King's consent to have sex. They were given card to hang on the door while doing it. It is said "Fornication Under Consent of the King(FUCK)" thus the word FUCK came. I think CP doesn't have validation of word in Subject line

No it didn't. This was never a law; the king would spend his time doing nothing else other than granting this if it had ever been the case. Similarly, the English language has changed considerably with words evolving and spellings solidifying over a great period of time, it's highly unlikely that those words would have been used. Indeed, variations of this word and the C word appeared in Chaucer.

Most of the swear-words in English have ancient (normally Germanic/Scandinavian roots: that's why they are such good swear words) and a lot were just in common use. Chaucer uses the word "Arse" in the Miller's Tale (bottom /but/backside are relatively modern affectations, the word used to be arse) and I'm sure I've seen the word Fokke (fuck) used. I want the old word "Swiving" to come back, it has the same meaning as fuck, but with panache.

WTF. Even in the middle ages there were (depending when) there were ~2 million people. That would mean (at least) 2 million shag-licenses, they just couldn't have organised this. The nobles had to get permission to marry, (and no-one was allowed to certain relatives, the rules for this were (too) complicated) but that was it.

Bollocks. Was used way back in history before that. Probably from the same era as 'cunt', ie Geoffry Chaucer (Who used cunt in the Miller's Tale). Certainly not Fornicate Under Command of the King, for this is what is said by lazy morons who cannot be bothered to learn shit and read it from other arseholes who could not be bothered to learn shit either. What other gems are you going to come up with?

Why? Cant we maturely discuss the etymology of a word even if that word is offensive?

Cunt goes back a lot further than Chaucer, there was a Gropecunt Lane in London well over a hundred years before he was born. Probably Germanic, although a friend of mine insists it is Irish by invention and comes from a pouch women used to hang around their waist to keep seed in when sowing in the fields. There was a program on TV about the word a couple of years ago which basically said it is only offensive amongst the middle classes. It only became highly offensive at the start of the 20th Century when it became a derogatory term for a woman, not because of what it actually referenced.

He also talks about swiving which is much older. [EDIT: I Just read Keith entry which also mentions swiving - I think it should be the CP term from now on.]

I love the middle-ages (except the disease, poverty, lack of freedoms etc :-) ) just because they did things like this. c*** was definitely used by the Anglo-Saxons, the OED (who has etymologists working on such things) say it is Germanic, so it probably is. The purse thing probably isn't the origin, the purses were probably named that due to a similarity or something.

If it was someone I didn't know I would be highly offended but, since it is only you and I know you are an ignorant cunt (love the irony of stringing those 2 words together) I'm not at all bothered... :-)

-Or-A Dead ringer for Kate Winslett[^]Reading up on this stuff years ago I also remember references to women (most likely prostitutes) who had the word cunt incorporated in their surnames somehow. Sally Widecunt and so on. Gropecunt lane was probably an area of prostitution.

OMG - Anne Widdecombe is actually Annie Widecunt? Mind you, having seen the size of her and the elegance with which she sahays across a dance floor like a herd of rabid elephants, it wouldn't surprise me.

There is a lot of this kind of misunderstanding about this word; 'For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge' is another one. But its most likely to come from an old Norse dialect word 'fukka', 'copulate' which is similar to old Swedish, 'focka' of the same meaning. Given that Scandanavians dominated the north of England for centuries and gave a lot of words and gramatical features to English it is propbable they gave us this word too.

Never heard the word being used in any other meaning than to get someone fired. But it means kick or thrust, so I guess it makes sense.

Its been a long time since you guys were in England! Meanings have probably drifted since then. :)

It does involve a lot of thrusting, so it doesn't seem to to have drifted that much. A sidenote: It was the Norwegians and Danes that went to the British isles. The Swedish vikings went east to found Russia. Rus is a word of Finnish origin that designate the Swedes.
