I heard it is an acronym for Fornicating Under Christ and King. Like from the movie Braveheart where the noble men had the right to sleep with a newly wed. Does anyone know where the origins of the word come from? Thanks.
The history of the %26#039;F%26#039; word?
That Fornication Under Consent of the King bit is complete garbage. The %26quot;F%26quot; word is very old, coming originally from the German word for %26quot;to strike.%26quot; It%26#039;s not an acronym, and it probably arrived as part of Olde English about as early as any other word of that very Germanic tongue. Check out the explanation, below:

No its not. And I knew Braveheart was nonsense, but I hadn%26#039;t heard that bit. That%26#039;s not true either.
It is not known where the F word came from, it doesn%26#039;t seem to be Anglo-Saxon or Danish, and it hasn%26#039;t been in the language all that long. There were other terms used instead. The first time it can be found is in a piece of medieval Scottish writing.
