For those interested, the correct rude word is "Swive" and you need Saxon from around 700AD onwards

It's been in common usage since time began.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/****ing%2C_Austria tells the history of ****ing ;)Now I can safely say I did some ****ing research :pQuote:
****ing (IPA: [ˈfʊkɪŋ], SAMPA: ["fUkIN]) is a small settlement (population c. 150), part of the municipality of Tarsdorf, in the Innviertel region of western Upper Austria, located at 48° 02′ 60″ N 12° 50′ 60″ E, bordering Bavaria. It is near the city of Salzburg. The village is known to have existed as "****ing" since at least 1070 and is named after a man from the 6th century called Focko. "Ing" is an old Germanic suffix meaning "people"; thus ****ing, in this case, means "place of Focko's people".
The name, spelled identically to the gerund form of the English profanity "****", is often found amusing by Anglophones. In German the name has no obvious associations, amusing or otherwise, although many German speakers will be aware of the English word. The German cognate of "to ****", regarded equally as low as the English word (or possibly as more obscene as it is almost never used figuratively), is ficken.
The settlement's only significant feature is a traffic sign with its name on it at which English-speaking tourists often stop to have their photograph taken. The sign is the most stolen street sign in Austria. A considerable portion of ****ing's budget is spent on replacing the stolen signs.
In 2004, the residents voted on changing the name (owing to the stolen signs and embarrassment over the name), but decided against doing so.
I always remember filling the car up with petrol at a place called, "Wankum". On my way back to the UK from Germany. If I remember correctly it's on the border of Germay and Holland.
I've always wondered waht the correct way to pronounce Phuket in Thailand is.
On the news they always say Foo-Kett. Are they being polite and it's really ****-it?
Aspman,
LMAO
I'll ask a friend of mine next time he's in the UK. He's married to a Thai and has lived there for 9 years, also fluent in the language.
But as far as I know it is pronounced poo..ket.
Ah the third way!
I'd still love Fiona Bruce to say "**** it" on the beeb. Make my day that would.
LMAO,
There is something very erotic about good looking women using bad language.
