Yeah that was cute. But did you know that the F word is really an acronym that lawyers were using or so I was told? It stands for Fornicating Under Carnal Knowledge. It referred to adultery.
Also the word Sh-t is another acronym too. It was used during the 1600-1700s when the ships transported manure. They use to ship it in the lower decks. But because the ships leaked or sea water would get into the cargo holds said water would mix with the dry manure and when wet it would produce methane gas. Many a ship was lost when it blew up because some hapless sailor lit a match or brought a lamp down into the hold. So what they did was stamp it with S.H.I.T. meaning: Ship High in Transit. To keep the manure dry and safe this was done as a safety precaution.

LOL. I have heard the sound-only version, but it a lot better with the pictures added.

Its a British term. When their cops busted people for prostitution they would write For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge in the station logbooks.

See Chihawk's site. F**k is not an acronym.
