For my coursemate, Stephen Tan: please stop discussing the F-word and scolding the F-word! You are causing bad influence on me! Haha!
As I promised you in the CSE class, these are a few version of f*ck word origins. Check it out ...
Version I (this is the version you are mumbling while "people" were presenting Pentium 4 at the front):
In ancient England a person could not have sex unless you had consent of the King (unless you were in the Royal Family). When anyone wanted to have a baby, they got consent of the King, the King gave them a placard that they hung on their door while they were having sex. The placard had F.*.*.*. (Fornication Under Consent of the King) on it. Now you know where that came from.
Version II:
The word fuck comes from colonial times, when someone would be punished for 'prostitution' It was an acronym for the words
'For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge'
FUCK was written on the stocks that held these criminals because For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge was too long to go on the stocks.
Version III:
I always heard that "F.U.C.K." originated in the 1800's in London, when they used to charge prostitutes "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge". So officer got sick and tired of writing those, um, lessee, 26 characters, not including spaces, so it got abbreviated FUCK and stuck.
Though I know you want to switch from your f*ck to "EFF", I believe you wont change as Stephen is not stephen if he didnt scold "f*ck"!
