I heard the ';F'; word comes from ';For Un-lawful Carnal Knowledge';, is this true?

And where does the ';C'; word come from?


(I feel so childish calling them the F %26amp; C words, but this is a serious question and i dont want it to be deleted because of censorship)I heard the ';F'; word comes from ';For Un-lawful Carnal Knowledge';, is this true?
In ancient England a person could not have sex unless you had consent of the King (unless you were in the Royal Family). When anyone wanted to have a baby, they got consent of the King, the King gave them a placard that they hung on their door while they were having sex. The placard had F.*.C.K. (Fornication Under Consent of the King) on it.I heard the ';F'; word comes from ';For Un-lawful Carnal Knowledge';, is this true?
There's way too much info on that.... good luck!

It's from fostering unnatural carnal knowledge.
Well, while Van Halen may want you to believe this, it is not true. The F word was derived from a German word meaning to strike. The actual pronunciation and spelling I am unsure of, but it's something like ';fleecken';.
It actually means Fornication Under Consent of King. In Medievel times, relations between unmarried persons could bring about punishment in the form of death.





Hanging this sign on your bedroom door exclaimed to anyone nosing around that you had acquired the King's permission to engage in sexual relations.
