i dont mean to do anyhting bad by posting this discussion. this is purely for fun . have you ever wondered what the F word meant or where it came from ?? here goes the history : In ancient England people colud not have s*x unless they got permission from the king . . When people wanted to have a baby, they had to get prior permission from the king, and the king gave them a placard to hang outside the door while having s*x . the placard said F. U .C . K ( fornication under consent of the king). LOL ... . poor people ... just imagine if in todays world we had to get the permission of the president to have it ... ??

Wow, this is some interesting piece of information! Haha, I think next time someone says the F word, I will just laugh..... and ask them whether they know what it actually means! I also really cannot imagine if that law still exists in this era; I think people will just start to get too lazy to get consent and just do it anyway without the consent. Also, the will be less people in the world population because birth rates will decrease, which I don't know is a good thing or not....anyway, I guess we can be thankful and grateful that our generation doesn't have to go through that tedious law!

Haha, I think you will only be fined if you got caught....because s*x is done in private anyway, and if no one catches you having s*x, they can't sentence you to any fine, right? But, glad it was a thing of the past.......lol...

See, the time has been changed but people are doing it in private while in that day people used to do in public, isn't it?

That is hilarious. Where did you get this incredible bit of information from? You could become a linguistic historian! Any other gems to share?
