Regarding this UAE buyout of our ports, fill in the letters just to the left of the NG. :evilgrin:

4. From the Dutch?
That has tweaked my curiosity!I am failiar with the old standby, which is an acronym, for "Found Under Carnal Knowledge" from our friends the British. You simply must emlighten me, as an old sailor, I take great pride in my mastery of all things profane, it was a job requirement.

10. You jest, right? Because it's not an acronym but goes back to
at least Middle English.

11. Not at all.
My understanding is that is exactly what it was/is. But a quick trip to snopes proves that (once again) I am full of it! http://www.snopes.com/language/acronyms/fuck.htm

13. From "The Story of English"
the word was taken from the Dutch word "fokken", which has the same meaning as the English word. Probably came to England with sailors :).

9. Ihavve a few thoughts too.
SodomizING America

Screw-Ing America

Sell-ing America

destroy-ing America

Betray-ing America

'lead'-ing America is what it likely really says... it should actually read...

Rule-ing America though. (Sorry, felt that one needed to be explained a bit)
