'fuck' is a very old word, first recorded in English in the 15th century.
Its first known occurrence was in a poem entitled Flen Flyys written
sometime before 1500 A.D. and is in code, illustrating the unacceptability
of the word even then. The poem, composed in a mixture of Latin and English
was about the Carmelite friars of Cambridge, England, with the title taken
from the first words of the poem 'flen, flyys and freris' that is,'fleas,
flies and friars'. The coded phrase that contains 'fuck' breaks down to
'They are not in heaven because they fuck wives of Ely', which was a town
near Cambridge. It is also alleged to have come from soldiers under a British
king's command, where it stood for Fraternizing
Under Command of the King, that is, the soldiers had agreed not to fraternize
with women while on duty and in uniform and if they did and were caught
doing so, they were said to be in fuck or fucked
