LMAO. That's the funniest thing I have read for ages absolutely brilliant. Reminds me a bit of Obelix.

Actually I have no idea about the origins of the word. I wonder if there is a website somewhere which has this kind if information? I'd be amazed if some sad person hasn't already researched it...

Thanks for that Load SM5

Finnally a thread I can help out on.

WARNING - Links to site that mention Cuss words are below. Do not follow these links if you offended by the printed word. the text is basically free of bad words however.

here is a site that debunks most of the origins of the f-word. Short story, it's a germanic word, not an acronym. and in case the cuss filter edits the url, the page is expanded version of the f-word.htm

As for the fecal matter word, "S" and few other is discussed here .

The "S" word is based on an old English word for diarrhoea, which is itself Germanic in origin, from scheissen.

I'm here to help,
Shaun

*edit* Ah ah ahhh, let's keep it civil and constructive. This is not a thread to simply cuss on, but a surprisingly creative discussion of word origin. Let's keep it mature. Army


My apologies...

I've been on this site since last July, and I must say that this is one of the most interesting posts i've ever seen! It's a little bit awkward, but I havn't learned this much about such nonsense as this in quite a while.
