versatile word (ROT 13) - offensive to (ROT13)
Suzanne Jurgensen
Perhaps one of the most interesting words in the English language
today is the word "fuck." It is the one magical word that, just by its
sound, can describe pain, pleasure, hate, and love. Fuck, as most words in
the English language takes its name from the german word "fricken" which
means to "stick."
In language, fuck falls into many grammatical categories. It can
be used as a verb, both transitive (John fucked Mary) and intransitive
(Mary was fucked by John), and as a noun (Mary is a fine fuck). It can be
used as an adjective (Mary is fucking beautiful). As you can see, there
are not many words with the versatility of fuck.
Besides the sexual meaning, there are also the following uses:
fraud .............. I got fucked at the used car lot.
ignorance........... Fucked if I know.
trouble ............ I guess I'm fucked now.
aggression ......... Fuck you!
displeasure ........ What the fuck is going on here?
difficulty ......... I can't understand this fucking job.
incompetence ....... He's a fuck off.
suspicion .......... What the fuck are you doing?
enjoyment .......... I had a fucking good time.
request ............ Get the fuck out of here.
hostility .......... I'm going to knock your fucking head off.
greeting ........... How the fuck are you?
apathy ............. Who gives a fuck?
innovation ......... Get a bigger fuckin' hammer.
surprise ........... Fuck! You scared the shit out of me!
anxiety ............ Today is really fucked.
I know you can think of may more uses, but with all these uses, how
can any one be offended when you say fuck? You should use this unique word
more often in your daily speech. It adds to your prestige. Say it loud
and clear; fuck you!

It may seem logical that it comes from fricken, but it does not.
Believe it or not, the Roman Catholic Church came up with the acronym
(actually, they defined it, and someone shortend it to be an acronym).
By the way, did you know there was a pope that died while having sex in
some bizzare chair (see ``Book of Lists''). Now back to ``fricken''--
it is:
F ornication
U nder
C arnal
K nowlegde
Ah the things you learn at a catholic school.

In german, that's "ficken", not "fricken".

(I know of no word "fricken", but of course, I'm not german...)

This is ridiculous. It stands for no such thing. This was originally a joke.
You have been conned.

Yeah, I also heard that in England, after the plague, the King
wanted to replenish his supply of taxpayers so he provided for

I'm sorry, but the german word "fricken" is spelled wrong. The correct
spelling is "ficken". If you need more information about german stuff,
let me know since I just got to the states from Sindelfingen (Germany)
a few weeks ago.

Now, for the joke:
This salesman has been bugging a haberdasher (guy who runs a suit shop)
for a long time for a job, and finally the haberdasher looks at him
in disgust and says, "Look, I'll make a deal with you. I've got one
suit that I just haven't been able to sell -- that purple, yellow, and
green thing in the corner. If you can sell it while I'm out to lunch;
you can have a sales job here for life!" And with a smug smile he goes
to lunch.
He comes back and the salesman runs up to him, exclaiming: "I sold the
suit! I sold the suit!" The owner looks at him in dismay -- the
salesman's clothes are ripped and torn all to hell, his face is scratched
and bruised and bleeding. The owner says, "What happened; did the
customer put up a fight!?" The salesman quickly replies, "Oh, no; not
at all -- but his seeing eye dog was pissed!"
Thanks to Playboy for a well-written version of this joke for me to paraphrase,

most words in the english language do NOT come
from the German 'fricken,'... most words in
the English (apologies for lack of capital
letter above) language do, though, come from
the German. Please correct your syntax.
A Frustrated English Major
John Windberg
language do not come from the German 'fricken'. Quite a few
English words do indeed come from German, but not that many
come from the word 'fricken'.
This view forced upon me by a nearby English Major....
Anybody now any really good 'bad' jokes as in...
What did Tarzan say when he say elephants coming up over the
hill??
'Look here come elephants coming up over the hill!'
What did tarzan say when he say elephants coming up over the
hill wearing sunglasses??
Nothing. He failed to recognize them...
and another story..
Why did the monkey fall from the tree??
He was dead.
Why did the elephant fall from the tree??
The Rhino pushed him.
Complaints and moanings to be sent anywhere but to me....

I'm sorry to say that this is not a limerick.

As far as I know, the word fuck comes from some Latin verb
that means "to fertilize the land".Since I haven't seen a Latin
text since Junior year of high school,I can't be more explicit,but
all this about acronyms and Olde German is abject bullshit.
