100 Words Project 1 : The Origin of F U C K

                                                                 The Origin of F U C K

Etymology is an interesting field of study. I remember someone telling me that orginally FUCK meant Fornication Under Consent of the King which was used in the middle ages to control population and encourage pure breed of its town people since a lot of woman were being wooed by merchants and travelers from other towns. Having this letter given by the King/Landlord means they have obtained permission to have sex which in those days directly meant to have children as well.  It is false but does makes a lot of sense if you have seen present day China.
