M*W: Allow me to enlighten you, Josh. The word "fuck" is not a bad word. Why it makes proper ladies blush, I don't know (God only knows I'm not one of 'em). F-U-C-K was an abbreviation that was put on the stockades of adulterers, prostitutes, and other fornicators that means For-Unlawful-Carnal-Knowledge. It is most likely an Old English term as it was prevalent in the American Colonies (i.e. like the Scarlet Letter "A"). Putting a sign that says For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge is lengthy, the law was allowed to abbreviate it. So, the euphemism "F-U-C-K" is not a bad word after all. In fact, it is quite pleasant... if you think that being put in a stockade for a good old roll in the hay is pleasant. "Fuck" is not as improper as people think. The meaning has just changed. Today "fuck" means sexual intercourse outside of marriage - OR - it could simply mean something that cannot be tolerated as in "he's a fucking idiot" or "I don't give a "fuck." Com'on people, the Victorian Age is long past. It's really not a "bad word" after all!
