The original answerer to this posting was correct. Fuck is indeed
one of the oldest words in present use. Being a former English instructor
and a student of the language, I can assure you that all of those idiotic
acronyms are pure BULL. The use of the word fuck is ancient, predating
the English monarchy, the English legal system or any of the other insti-
tutions that this word has been attributed to. It amazes me how people
like to ignore expert knowledge in favor of their own misconceptions.
Many often wonder why it took a thousand years for modern science to
set aside the claptrap of Aristotle. The previous interchange on this
subject demonstrates the reason perfectly.
