A catholic priest, of all people, once told me that the origin of the "F" profanity came from an acronym. Back in the times when church and state law were one and the same, adultery was a crime and those guilty of this heinous felony were said to be: "Found Under Carnal Knowledge."For some reason profanity, especially the F-word, seems to bother me more nowadays when it never used to. I’m no prude and, God knows, I’ve been guilty of liberal use of the F-bomb myself, but now I find it kind of jarring.
Whether that's true or not I have no idea, but it's such a good tale that I want to believe it.
