    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.

    Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

      Depends what you want to do. But I think they were named by others.

        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.

                            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.
