Stop!

Silvara, I think you misunderstood me. Maybe I should have said "Hear, Hear!" instead - I was backing up Sigurd!

 

What exactly does that mean? Since you are Slovakian (I have heard of it, and I know where it is) I don't really care if you don't speak English well. I don't know a word of Slovak.

 

Good opinion, Sigurd. Btw, ty si ale riadny kokot.
Here is whole Slovak sentence just for you!

 

From what I can tell, that sentance meant something like, "You are a (blank) good dick." Or something.

 

Here is the REAL(and unreal) history of the F'word: http://www.snopes.com/language/acronyms/fuck.htm

An epcert from thus follows:
According to the alt.usage.english FAQ:


[Fuck] is a very old word, recorded in English since the 15th century (few acronyms predate the 20th century), with cognates in other Germanic languages. The Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang (Random House, 1994, ISBN 0-394-54427-7) cites Middle Dutch fokken = "to thrust, copulate with"; Norwegian dialect fukka = "to copulate"; and Swedish dialect focka = "to strike, push, copulate" and fock = "penis". Although German ficken may enter the picture somehow, it is problematic in having e-grade, or umlaut, where all the others have o-grade or zero-grade of the vowel.


Even I didn't know some of that stuff. For that matter any time that someone is arguing about something just pull out http://www.snopes.com/ and site or refer to specific facts about said subject! :-o

 

Yeah, that stuff is pretty cool. I read all that last year in the Oxford English Dictionary at my college. One volume that is. The entire Dictionary takes two whole shelves in the library. As well as the etymology of the word, the Dictionary also notes written instances of the word throughout history. Some of them are pretty funny. When I go back to school on Monday, I'll copy some down and post them here.
