What The Hells Wrong With The 'F' Word ????

[bilbogod]

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that the word FU@K is being replaced with the word "love" in posts.
This might seem a strange question, but since when were they remotely one and the same??
There are F@cking times when it is F@ucking necessary to F@ucking use the F@uck word. Replacing it with the word LOVE does not convey the depth of emotions that I sometimes feel. In short, there are times when only a good F@uck will do.

If anyone disagrees with this then you can get fucked (notice this word is still ok) or alternatively **** off

[Baldrick]

what the **** do you mean?

[mijman]

He's pretty fucked up, isn't he?
Although writing it like this: f@ck does tend to emphasize it more...

[Greg12]

**** you came from "fleck yew"

The english longbowmen used their middle fingers on the bows.

The French at some battle, said they would kill the english because the english were outnumbered.

As the English longbowmen wasted the french crossbowmen, they stuck up their middle fingers to insult the French.

The French, has any nation got more ass kickings then the French?

Damn, I was wrong its been in print since 1503, and definately not For Unlawful Cardnal Knowlege.

[4mfuck[m, verb hence noun, is a Standard English word classed, because of its associations, as a vulgarism. The derivative expletive [4mFuck[m ([4mit[m)[4m![m-derivative agent [4mfucker[m- and verbal noun and participial adjective [4mfucking[m, except when literal (then, they are likewise vulgarisms), belong to low slang. _****_ shares with _****_ two distinctions: they are the only two Standard English words excluded from all general and etymological dictionaries since C18 and the only two Standard English words that, outside of medical and other official and semi-official reports and learned papers, still could not be printed in full anywhere within the British Commonwealth of Nations until late 1961.

That _****_ cannot descend straight from Latin _futuere_ (whence Old French-French _foutre_) is obvious; that the two words are related is equally obvious. That it cannot derive unaided from German _ficken_, to strike, (in popular speech) to copulate with, is clear; it is no less clear that the English and German words are cognates. 'To _****_' apparently combines the vocalism of f_u_tuere+the consonantism of fi_ck_en, which might derive from _*f"cken_ (only dubiously attested).

Now, Latin _futuere_ is formed similarly to Latin _battuere_, to strike, hence to copulate with a woman. With both, compare Irish _bot_, Manx _bwoid_, penis; _battuere_, says Malvezin, is borrowed from Celtic and stands for _*bactuere_; and _futuere_ recalls the Celtic root _*buc-_, a point, hence to pierce (malvezin); compare also Gaelic _batair_, a cudgeller, and Gaelic _buail_, English/Irish _bualaim_, I strike. Both Latin _battuere_ and Latin _futuere_ (compare Latin _fustis_, a staff, a cudgel: ? for _*futsis_) could have got into Latin from Celtic, which, it is perhaps worth adding, had originally no _f_: basic idea. 'to strike', hence (of a man) `to copulate with'. Nevertheless, the source probably long antedates both Latin and Celtic: a strikingly ancient etymology one is apparently afforded by Egyptian _petcha_, (of the male) to copulate with, the hieroglyph being an ideogram of unmistakably assertive virility. The Egyptian word has a close Arabic parallel.- A Mediterranean word?

[Middle English, attested in pseudo-Latin fuccant, (they) ****, deciphered from gxddbov.]
Word History: The obscenity **** is a very old word and has been considered shocking from the first, though it is seen in print much more often now than in the past. Its first known occurrence, in code because of its unacceptability, is in a poem composed in a mixture of Latin and English sometime before 1500. The poem, which satirizes the Carmelite friars of Cambridge, England, takes its title, “Flen flyys,” from the first words of its opening line, “Flen, flyys, and freris,” that is, “fleas, flies, and friars.” The line that contains **** reads “Non sunt in coeli, quia gxddbov xxkxzt pg ifmk.” The Latin words “Non sunt in coeli, quia,” mean “they [the friars] are not in heaven, since.” The code “gxddbov xxkxzt pg ifmk” is easily broken by simply substituting the preceding letter in the alphabet, keeping in mind differences in the alphabet and in spelling between then and now: i was then used for both i and j; v was used for both u and v; and vv was used for w. This yields “fvccant [a fake Latin form] vvivys of heli.” The whole thus reads in translation: “They are not in heaven because they **** wives of Ely [a town near Cambridge].”

Facta non verba.

[dphirschler]

If it's on the internet, it *must* be true.

I haven't noticed 'love' being swapped with the word '****', at least not in this thread. But who gives a ****? Usually, whatever the **** you want to say can be said more effectively without using '****'. '****' is just decoration. I don't have a ******* problem with it since I don't use the fuckin' word too ******* often.

Anyways, **** it... and **** you.
