I did try to post this in the cesspool. and thank you for moving it.

SUBJECT: the word "FUCK"

Perhaps one of the most interesting and colourful words in the English language today is the word "FUCK".
It is the one magical word which just by its sound, can describe pain, pleasure, love, and hate.
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).
It can be an active verb (John really gives a fuck) or a passive verb (Mary doesn't give a fuck).
Or an adverb (Mary is fucking interested in John) and as a noun (Mary is a terrific fuck).
It can be used as an adjective (Mary is fucking beautiful).
As you can see there are few words with the versatility of "FUCK"...

I may be mistaken, but didn't the word "fuck" used to be an old english political word or something?

[Middle English, attested in pseudo-Latin fuccant, (they) fuck, deciphered from gxddbov.]
Word History: The obscenity fuck is a very old word and has been considered shocking from the first, though it is seen in print much more often now than in the past. Its first known occurrence, in code because of its unacceptability, is in a poem composed in a mixture of Latin and English sometime before 1500. The poem, which satirizes the Carmelite friars of Cambridge, England, takes its title, “Flen flyys,” from the first words of its opening line, “Flen, flyys, and freris,” that is, “fleas, flies, and friars.” The line that contains fuck reads “Non sunt in coeli, quia gxddbov xxkxzt pg ifmk.” The Latin words “Non sunt in coeli, quia,” mean “they [the friars] are not in heaven, since.” The code “gxddbov xxkxzt pg ifmk” is easily broken by simply substituting the preceding letter in the alphabet, keeping in mind differences in the alphabet and in spelling between then and now: i was then used for both i and j; v was used for both u and v; and vv was used for w. This yields “fvccant [a fake Latin form] vvivys of heli.” The whole thus reads in translation: “They are not in heaven because they fuck wives of Ely [a town near Cambridge].”


Ok...I was waaaay off...

There may not be direct conversions. For example in French one says "Vously vous coushay evec mois" (My French spelling I'm sure is in error it is posted phonetically I lived in France for (4) years but that was 45 years ago).

Translated it means "Will you sleep with me".

In contrast to your question is another French word "Phoque" which is pronounced "Fuck". It refers to a mammal the "Seal".

Gamo, is Greek for fuck. Gamoto, means fuck it, and is used extensively by most Greeks. When the Greek weightlifter won a gold at the last but one olympics (forget his name), he said... oh hang on, maybe it wasn't him, I seem to remember it was a woman athlete, oh never mind they're both Greeks anyway and they won gold and so, anyway she famously said, 'Gia tin Ellada gamoto!' Meaning, 'For Greece, fuck it!' And it went out live on TV, to be repeated over and over again.

Thing with Greek swear words, is that they are big, juicy words that fill your mouth. Try Malakia, as compared to wank; no contest. Try Pouto, Mounni or Shisto, otherwise known as cunt and slit. Mind you, cunt's a pretty juicy word, but a little too aggressive for bed talk. Pouto just sounds dirty, yah!

Hi Everybody,

Erm, can I just say that Monty Python has never performed the Definition of the Word Fuck, and that Adam Sandler infact copied it from George Carlin, although the actual author is unknown.
