	It comes from an old
	Germanic verb `ficken/fucken', to strike or penatrate,
	whose slang meaning was to copulate. 
	Thus.
	`fuck' did not orginate as a police blotter acronym for
	"for unlawful carnal knowledge" or form any such acronym
	or colorful modern origin as some popular stories would
	have us believe.

Awe, you spoilsport. :-)
