"Like this if you didn't know **** meant "Fornification Under Consent of the King" because people used to have the get the king's permission to have sex."
Erm. What?
It comes from the German "ficken", I knew that much, and googling tells me there's a Dutch "fokken", Norwegian "fukka" and Swedish "fokka", so basically all sorts of Saxons/Vikings.
[sorry karl. but if you like something like this again I'll shame you publically like this.

AND WHILST I'M AT IT.
What's with all these websites like "LikeThis.Com" and "▶ Like it!!"? When did the situation arise where people thought "goodness, I can't possibly have just the one site to show what things I like, I need a directory"?
