a thread of random facts that you might think the site will find interesting.
here's mine: the start of the F word.
Men who wanted to fornicate with any woman of his kingdom had to ask the king himself if they were not married. Therefore, they created the F word, which indefinately means to Fornicate Under Consent of King.

well actually i heard the word comes from the word fricken or to strike in some language. some how it got changed in meaning and pronunciation.
I also heard that the english used to be great long bow men. A long bow shoots extreamly far and caused a lot of casualties for the french. So whenever the french would capture a longbowman they would cut off his middle finger so they couldnt pluck the bow. One day the english were outnumbered and surrounded. Somehow they managed to win the battle and to rub it in the faces of the French they would stick up thier middle finger and say something (dont remeber what it was but it sounded like F***). Eventually the word got changed to ultimately mean what it means today and the finger being the visual representation of it.

Shit actually stands for Ship in High Transit. It was used on ships when they were transporting manure. It made sense that if you left all of that on the ships bottom it would get wet and ruined, so they made up that acronym.
