The F word: Under Command of the King

The word F**K is actually an acronym. It dates back to the good olé Days, when England was severely underpopulated due to the usual combination of fire / war / plague and the King issued an official order to...well, f**k, to replenish the population. Hence the phrase "Fornicate Under Command of the King" passed into everyday language.

The stories on the origin of the word fuck are, of course, urban legends. Probably the word comes from similar sounding Dutch or German words. It really doesn't hurt to check facts before they are published.
