Random bit of knowledge I came across...
----The word "fuck" is actually an acronym. It dates back to the Good Old Days,
when England was severely underpopulated due to the usual combination
of fire/war/plague, and the King issued an official order to... well, fuck, to
replenish the population. Hence the phrase "Fornicate Under Command
of the King" passed into everyday language.
Who knew? Now every time I hear that word, I'll think about this. Lovely.
