The word "fuck" is actually an acronym. It dates back to the Good Old Days, when England was severely under populated due to the usual combination of fire/war/plague, and the King issued an official order to... well, fuck, to replenish the population. Hence the phrase "Fornicate Under Command of the King" passed into everyday language.
What the FORNICATE UNDER COMMAND OF THE KING?! Didn't see that one coming. It's always the British with the reputations for vulgarity! I mean, maybe we all just thought they shortened it, and it had such a quip-like nature, the world just adopted it for a curse.
