In ancient England ....

[barfly]

people could not have sex unless they had consent of the king (unless they were in the Royal Family ).
When people wanted to have a baby, they had to get the consent of the king, and the king gave them a placard that they hung on their door while they were having sex.
The placard had F.U.C.K. (Fornication Under Consent of the King ) on it .
Hence that's where the word **** came from.
Now, aren't you glad you learned something new today ?

FAVORITE WORD:


NO, NOT "FIRE TRUCK": Leonard Carlo likes a particular word, and it's reflected in the decor of his Colorado Springs, Colo., bar.
"****ing Women" says the sign on the ladies room;
"****ing Men" it says on the opposite door.
Another sign notes, "No ****ing tap or draw beer".
A state liquor enforcement agent, noting a state regulation prohibiting profanity in bars, confiscated 29 signs.
"The mother ****er came in like a German storm trooper," Carlo said.
"He walked in my door and started ripping signs off my ****ing walls.
" The agent, however, left up Carlo's posting of the Ten Commandments and the U.S. Constitution. Carlo's liquor license is in danger of suspension, and he is suing, saying his free speech rights have been violated.
"If you walk in and see ''****" and you don't like it, get the **** out. There's 700 bars in town," he says.
Meanwhile, Carlo has had a message tattooed on his bald head which reads, "**** You. Leave me the **** alone."
He challenged the agent, "Now, mother ****er, take that one!"
(Denver Post) ...They will if they can.

and colorado springs, in my opinion and limited experience, is a very loving place.

everyone should spend at least one night there.

pure tripe!

i might suggest, as one of scottish heritage, there are few inaccuracies in the generalization of the history of that word. i would hope that everyone take the time to read the following historical artifact:

basically, you don't f.u.c.k. with the scots unless you're invited.
