(23,812 posts)...many times, and it makes me laugh every time. The dry, pedantic tones of the narrator, and the flickering of the images are so reminiscent of the filmstrips of elementary school classes in the late 50s and 60s.

(22,285 posts)The Oxford English Dictionary states that the ultimate etymology is uncertain, but that the word is "probably cognate" with a number of Germanic words with meanings involving striking, rubbing and having sex or is derivative of the Old French word that meant 'to have sex'.[8]
The word has probable cognates in other Germanic languages, such as German ficken ('to fuck'); Dutch fokken ('to breed', 'to beget'); dialectal Norwegian fukka ('to copulate'), and dialectal Swedish focka ('to strike', 'to copulate') and fock ('penis').[8] This points to a possible etymology where Common Germanic fuk- comes from an Indo-European root meaning 'to strike', cognate with non-Germanic words such as Latin pugno ('I fight') or pugnus ('fist').[8] By application of Grimm's law, this hypothetical root has the form *pug. There is a theory that fuck is most likely derived from German or Dutch roots, and is probably not derived from an Old English root.[9]

Wonder if Urban Dictionary has revised the meaning yet.

(21,916 posts)Not many expletives relieve stress the way "fuck" does. And it has so many fucking uses, as the OP points out. It's a noun, a vern, an adverb, etc.
I'm perplexed when DUers post curse words but don't spell them out, i.e., F*CK.
We know what the word is so just spell it! If a writer is offended by the word, then use another goddam word!
It seems so silly and even childish when people half-use the word.
Ah, well. Fuck it!
