Aww, kid_A, I love you! Run away with me. I can be your broke sugar-mamma.
I've known about the idea of 'for unlawful carnal knowledge' bit a long time but hardly thought it worth writing something to correct another over. But your gracious, erudite reply was worthy of commenting on. Bravo!
Fuccant is pseudo-Latin, not true Latin, much like -
"Sic semper tyrannus."
Your dinosaur is ill.
and
"Bodicus mutilatimus, unemploymi ad infinitum."
Better take the nose ring out before the job interview.The debate over the origin of f-u-c-k still rages & probably will never be completely decided but most have agreed that its origin comes from the Middle Dutch word "to strike". Interesting that almost all references to copulation refer to it as an act of thrusting, stabbing, striking & such - which is why my preferred term is "making love".
